Founded in 1980 by a Christian missionary group, Hallelujah FC became a founder member of the K-League in 1983 and won the inaugural championship.
They failed to defend their title in 1984 coming in 4th, 14 points behind champions Daewoo Royals, and in 1985 they had a disastrous season finishing bottom with only 13 points. The club dropped out of the K-League at the end of that year.
A win in the 1988 President's Cup amateur competition followed as the team prospered in the non-professional ranks.
Hallelujah moved their home base to the city of Iksan and joined the K2 League for the 2003 season, but participated in only the first of the two championship stages as protests by radical Wonbuddhist groups in Iksan forced the Christian side out of their home stadium. For 2004 the club moved to Gimpo.
