Chunnam Dragons were founded in 1996 in the Korean city of Gwangyang, and joined the K-League for the 1997 season at the same time as Cheonbuk Hyundai Motors, their Jeolla province rivals.
Chunnam's greatest season to date came in 1997 when they finished runners-up in the K-League and also lifted the Korean FA Cup, however they have struggled to maintain a strong presence in the league.
