FCMen Game in Suwon

My friends and I heard that Junsu was going to play with his FCMen team in Suwon so we of course wanted to go.
If you don't know, FCMen is the exhibition team for the K League Suwon Blue Wings. So, FCMen usually play an exhibition game before the Suwon Blue Wings play their pro K League game.
I've only gone to FCMen games in Suwon. I don't know how it works when they play away games. But, most of the games that I've seen take place in the practice field that's next to the stadium. But this time, they played the game in the actual Suwon stadium.
If the game is on the practice field, it's free. But if they play in the stadium, you have to buy tickets. The tickets range from 10,000~20,000 won (around 10~20 USD). We got the 20,000 won tickets because they were the closest to the field.

So, the game was supposed to start at 6 pm. My friends and I got there around 4~4:15.
We saw everyone lining up for the stadium so we went to get tickets. We found some seats and sat down around 4:20. All of the sudden, the announcer was calling out the teams and the game was starting. THANK GOD we got there early.
I don't know why the game time changed, but they started at 4:30 pm. The Suwon Blue Wings didn't play until 7pm, so it should've been okay, but... whatever.

The game also only lasted 1 hour. I think we left the stadium around 5:40pm. I don't remember the other games being that short. Also, the teams didn't switch benches or goals at the halfway mark, so it was a very weird game in that respect.
Anyway, we still had a lot of fun. The other team scored 2 goals, so the boys were behind 0-2 at halftime. But then the boys scored 3 goals in the second half and won the game~ 3-2. 1 of the goals was made by Junsu himself.
I think the best part of the game (besides seeing Junsu of course) was the halftime break. They played songs from Junsu's album and all the fans sang along. It was so much fun.
They played Incredible, Isn't It Funny, and Turn It Up.

I took over 200 pictures and 10 videos during that 1 hour. I know... I'm shocked I took that many pics.
Most of the pics are pretty boring because Junsu walked up and down the field for most of the game.
I just got a new dslr camera and am still learning how to use it. Also, this was really the first time that I could try it out with sports/action shots. However, despite this, I think the pictures came out pretty well.  
Anyway, below are about 30 pics that I thought were either cute or interesting.
Hope you like them, too!

After the game, the boys usually (lightly) kick balls into the seats so that the fans can catch it and have it as a keepsake.


 I think Junsu was throwing his shinguards to his manager. I'm not sure.
