A founding member of the K-League in 1983, Jeju United have undergone several hardships during the years and have struggled to make a serious impact on Korean football. Renamed Jeju United in 2006, the club was known as Yukong Elephants from 1983 to 1995, Bucheon Yukong from 1996 to 1997 and Bucheon SK from 1997 to 2005.
Originally called Yukong Elephants, the club has lifted the Championship on only one occasion in 1989.
At the end of 1995 the side moved from the Dongdaemun Stadium in Seoul to the Mok-dong stadium on the very western edge of Seoul, and renamed themselves Bucheon Yukong after the city of Bucheon, only 10 miles from the Mok-dong stadium.
Mid-way through the 1997 season the club rebranded itself as Bucheon SK, and at the start of the 2001 season moved to the 35,545 seater Bucheon Stadium.
In 2006, the owners of Bucheon SK made the surprise decision to move to Jeju and renamed the club Jeju United FC.
