The Korean Super Cup was the annual curtain-raiser to the South Korean football season from 1999 to 2006, and was contested between the champions of K League and Korean FA Cup. It was dropped from the South Korean football calendar in 2007. After that, champions of K League 1 and Korean FA Cup are often scheduled to play each other at the opening match of K League 1 next season. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors is the only club to have lifted the Super Cup trophy among the champions of FA Cup.
