History


Being established in 1959,[1] the club belongs to the Ministry of People's Armed Forces.

The club name originated from the Korean People's Army's (KPA) date of establishment, which was formed in 8 February 1948. (Until 1977, the original KPA's official date of establishment was 8 February 1948. However, in 1978, it was changed to 25 April 1932, due to Kim Il-sung's anti-Japanese guerilla army – the Korean People's Revolutionary Army [ko], considered the predecessor of the KPA – being formed on 25 April 1932. This change was reverted in 2018).[2][3]
