Based on both their success at home and overseas, here are the five candidates for Korea Republic's most popular club. After reviewing our selection, don't forget to cast your vote at the bottom of the article.

Dubai: Just 17 days short of an entire year since the campaign began, the 2019-20 Saudi Pro League season resumes on Tuesday with eight matchdays remaining and all to play for.
The Saudi Pro League was halted on March 14, a day after the conclusion of Matchday 22 as the country, just like the rest of the world, looked to curb the spread of COVID-19.
