Origin
The club was founded as the "Great Hankuk Supporters Club" in December 1995. The current name, "Red Devils", comes from the term coined by the international media in 1983 when the young Korean team reached the semi-finals of the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship. Due to the official jersey colors of the red football national team, the media dubbed the team and supporters of "Red Furies", and it was translated as "Red Devils" in Korean. The name was chosen in 1997 as the official name of the organization.
