AB - In this paper, we discussed the soccer and self-governance of ethnic Korean Chinese in Yanbian through case-based analyses of the Yanbian Funde Football Club (Yanbian FC). Football has served as cultural capital of ethnic Korean-Chinese people living in Yanbian for many years. At the beginning of the 20th century, soccer cultures spread around the schools founded by anti-Japanese independence activists. Manchuguo, which was founded in 1932, used sports for the nation-building and Korea served as a main hub for those efforts at that time. After liberation, ethnic Korean-Chinese in Yanbian in the Northeast region developed soccer, which had already become part of daily culture through local communities and educational institutions (schools), which later led to Yanbian becoming the “hometown of Chinese soccer” (足球之郷) and a cultural sport symbol. In 1997, under the Korean coach Choi Eun-taek, Yangbian FC won their way to the semi-finals. However, after the club was sold to Hangzhou Lvcheng in 2000, Yanbian FC encountered a long stagnation, moving around from third league to second league. Then in 2015, Korean coach Park Tae-ha entered the team into the China Super League, leading ethnic Korean-Chinese society in Yanbian to again fervently follow soccer after a 15-year hiatus and indifference to the sport as cultural capital. Currently, the Chinese professional leagues are leading the Chinese sports nationalism with enormous capital and social support under the complete support of Xi Jinping. However, soccer plays an additional role in the ethnic Korean-Chinese community in Yanbian, which is now encountering a decline in population due to transnational movement and social reorganization. The emotions of ethnic Korean- Chinese communities in large cities in China and around the world, which have mainly sustained as peripheral societies are beginning to concentrate and influence societies as part of mainstream populations. Various ethnic Korean-Chinese networks are increasingly connected through social media tools such as Wechat (微信), leading to the building of communicates and through the creation of virtual societies through online space. Soccer in Yanbian now operates as a self-governing space for ethnic minorities, and manifests a natural connection of self-disclosure as ethnic minorities and communicate through sporadic social networks.
