He has the best performance in the K-League in the 2025 season. In March, he also joined the soccer A team for the first time in his life. At the time, A team coach Hong Myung-bo said, `Kim Dong-heon watched about three games after the opening of the K-League. It wasn't in my head last year, but I thought I kept my best form in goalkeeper position performance after the opening. He explained, "I made a lot of saves, and I picked him because I thought I saved a lot of difficult situations." However, Kim Dong-heon did not have a chance to play in the A match in March. However, his ability, potential, and consistency in the K-League were enough to make his name known. According to a soccer official, Kim Dong-heon even received a love call from the European team after joining the A team.
He also played his part in the home game against Ulsan at Gimcheon Stadium on the 27th. On this day, he blocked all five of Ulsan's effective shots, leading Gimcheon to a 2-0 victory. After the game, Kim Jeong-yong, manager of Gimcheon, said " (Kim Dong-heon) is a national player" and competed with a good player named Cho Hyun-woo. From the player's point of view, of course, it seems to be a motivation. It is true that Kim Dong-heon played a huge role. I will continue to do so. There has been an arm injury. I wasn't 100% in condition, but I'm grateful for (today)."
Kim Dong-heon said, `Before the game, I felt that I was not in good condition. The response was not good during warm-up shooting training. So rather, we approached it in a slightly different way. I didn't let the ball come at all, but I think I had good concentration. I think he made a lot of good plays as well."Hyun-woo is a really good player. It's still a long way from following Hyun-woo. So I didn't care about Hyun-woo's play. 'Let's just look at the ball in front of me and play a scoreless game' with this mindset."
He was told about the love call for him " (relevant). But there's something I need to do first. When he returns to his original team, Incheon United, he has to be promoted (K League 1). After that, I think it is right to take on challenges such as overseas expansion. That way, I think I'll feel comfortable. I want to go back to Incheon, get promoted, and steadily enter the A team. I've been to the national team once now." Kim Dong-heon, who joined the military on December 18, 2023, will be discharged from the military on June 17. Later this year, they will also get married.
Kim Dong-heon said, `Last year, I decided to do well. When I tried to serve two people, I ended up serving 0.5 people. I thought I'd put it down this year and just do what I did. I told him not to make a mistake and to serve only one portion. As a result, I think I've improved my performance"I want to try overseas after planting the image of being a national player."."
