National League and Cup Shocks
Incheon Korail were participants in the inaugural K2 League season in 2003, a competition they would go on to win in 2005 with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Suwon City.
The side developed something of a reputation as cup specialists, having knocked several K-League teams out of the Korean FA Cup tournament in the past. They have claimed victories over Bucheon SK, Chunnam Dragons, Incheon United and Suwon Samsung Bluewings (twice) in the tournament. They were semi-finalists in 2005, and reached the quarter-finals in 2001.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I write mainly for the kindly race of women. I am their sister, and in no way exempt from their sorrowful lot. I have drank [sic] the cup of their limitations to the dregs, and if my experience can help any sad or doubtful woman to outleap her own shadow, and to stand bravely out in the sunshine to meet her destiny, whatever it may be, I shall have done well; I have not written this book in vain.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
“Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
