Pohang travelled to Ulsan on the final day of the 2013 term two points adrift of their opponents at the top of the table, knowing only a win would be enough to earn their fifth K-League Classic crown.
And they achieved that feat in the most dramatic way possible, as defender Won-Il Kim struck in the 95th minute to hand them a 1-0 victory.
However, Min-Kook Cho's men have an opportunity to gain a measure of revenge when they visit Steelyard Stadium for this season's curtain-raiser on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Jeonbuk Motors who finished third last term, get their campaign under way at home to Busan I'Park and will be confident of a positive result having beaten their opponents in their last four meetings.
Sangju Sangmu earned promotion to the top flight courtesy of their relegation play-off success against Gangwon, and they begin life in the K-League at home to Incheon United, who ended last season in dismal form - winning just one of their final 13 games.
FC Seoul, who won the 2012 K-League Classic title, will be targeting an improvement on their fourth-placed finish last year and they entertain Jeonnam Dragons on Saturday, while this weekend's other match sees Suwon Bluewings travel to Jeju United.
