The '''2018 K League 2''' is the sixth season of the [[K League 2]], the second tier South Korean professional league for [[association football]] clubs since its establishment in 2013, and the first one with its current name, the K League 2. The top-ranked team and the winner of the promotion play-offs among three clubs ranked between second and fourth will get promoted to the [[K League 1]] after the regular season ends.
The '''2018 K League 2''' was the sixth season of the [[K League 2]], the second-highest division in the [[South Korean football league system]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/skor2018.html#k2 |title=South Korea 2018 |date=2021-06-23 |access-date=2023-05-23 |publisher=RSSSF}}</ref>

[[Asan Mugunghwa FC|Asan Mugunghwa]] once again grabbed an opportunity for promotion by winning its second K League 2 title (officially first title after Ansan era), but its owner [[National Police Agency (South Korea)|Korean Police Agency]] did not recruit new players who could meet clubs' requisite for maintenance before the end of the season. Asan Mugunghwa, which was in the process of being dissolved, was finally disqualified from promoting.<ref name="Asan2"/>

Runners-up [[Seongnam FC]] directly qualified for the K League 1 instead of Asan Mugunghwa, and the third, fourth, and fifth-placed team advanced to the promotion playoffs.

The 2018 K League 2 was the sixth season of the K League 2, the second-highest division in the South Korean football league system.[2]

Asan Mugunghwa once again grabbed an opportunity for promotion by winning its second K League 2 title (officially first title after Ansan era), but its owner Korean Police Agency did not recruit new players who could meet clubs' requisite for maintenance before the end of the season. Asan Mugunghwa, which was in the process of being dissolved, was finally disqualified from promoting.[3]

Runners-up Seongnam FC directly qualified for the K League 1 instead of Asan Mugunghwa, and the third, fourth, and fifth-placed team advanced to the promotion playoffs.
