We start this week\\u2019s show with a heavy heart honoring the late Kim Nam-chun. Kim was found in his apartment on October 30th from an apparent suicide according to police. A ceremony was held in his honor the following day at Seoul World Cup Stadium to pay tribute to him ahead of the FC Seoul\\u2019s game with Incheon United.

In speaking with his teammates and seeing the outpouring of love on social media over the weekend, it\\u2019s clear Kim was a popular member of FC Seoul and with other players around the league who he had spent time with at Sangju. All of us at K League United send our most sincerest condolences to Kim Nam-chun\'s family, friends, and teammates in this difficult time. May he rest in peace.\\xa0
