Incheon lost to Daejeon 1-2 in a home game at the Incheon Football Stadium and was confirmed as the lowest in the league.
At the same time, Jeonbuk beat Daegu 3-1 and became 4 points apart from 11th-ranked Daegu, automatically demoted to K League 2 next season regardless of the final result.
Next year will be the first time Incheon, which made the K-League stage for the first time in 2004, will play in the second division.
Incheon has been ranked 7th and 12th for most of the time since the introduction of the platform system in 2013, but has never been relegated, earning the nickname "survival king" of K League 1.
Gwangju, which drew 0-0 with Jeju following the eighth-place match, also confirmed that it will play in the first part of next season.
Jeonbuk, which was ranked 11th, came in 10th with 10 wins, 11 draws, and 16 losses.
