The Pusan Daewoo Royals football club was found in 1983 in the city of Busan by the Daewoo corporation. Originally called Daewoo Royals Football Club, the side finished second in the 1983 K-League Championship behind winners Hallelujah. The club turned professional at the end of 1983 and for the 1984 season changed their name to Daewoo Royals (Korean: 대우 로얄즈).
The newly-named team lifted the Championship in 1984, and again in 1987 & 1991.
Their greatest triumph was winning the Asian Club Championship in 1986, when they defeated Al-Ahly 3-1 in the final.
At the end of 1995 when K-League sides were 'localizing', they adopted the name Pusan Daewoo Royals (Korean: 부산 대우 로얄즈) and in 1997 lifted their fourth Korean championship.
After the Daewoo corporation suffered major financial difficulties in the late 90s, the team was acquired by I'Park construction, the domestic construction division of Hyundai. The team's name was changed to Pusan I'cons (the "con's" referring to construction; Korean: 부산 아이콘스). At the start of the 2005 season, the team's name was again changed, directly to Busan I'Park.
