Kim was named the “2023 KFA” at the Mayfield Hotel in Gangseo-gu, Seoul on Tuesday. The “2023 Player of the Year” was Son’s solo performance. Son has won the honor seven times, more than half of the award for the past four years in a row.

Kim Min-jae enjoyed the pleasure of being named the “Player of the Year” for the first time.

He also played in five matches in the European Champions League, leading his team to advance to the round of 16.

Kim Min-jae is also the leader of the defense line in the Clinsman team. He played in eight A matches last year, except for June, when he was excluded for basic military training. He had the best year in his career by leading six consecutive games without allowing any points. It is the first time in eight years that a defender has been named the “Player of the Year” since Kim Young-kwon (33) of Ulsan in 2015.
