Each month, the "Young Player of the Month" award is given to the "Young Player of the Month" who performed best in K League 1.
The conditions for candidates are Korean nationality among K League 1 players, under the age of 23 (born after 2002) and three years or less (debut after the 2023 season) from the year when they recorded their first appearance in K League official games. Players who meet the above three conditions and participate in more than half of the total game time of the team in the relevant month shall be the candidates. The final winner is determined through discussion and voting by members of the Technical Research Group (TSG) under the Federation's Technical Committee.
The Young Player Award in April was evaluated for a total of four games from the 7th to 10th rounds of the K League. Eleven candidates, including Shin Min-ha, Yoon Do-young (Daejeon), Hwang Do-yoon (Seoul), Lee Hyun-yong (Suwon FC), Chae Hyun-woo (Anyang), and Cho Sang-hyuk (Pohang), were listed.
Shin Min-ha was reborn as the team's main defender by playing in all games from the 7th to the 10th round, and in the 9th round against Ulsan, he scored his professional debut goal and the winning goal, giving Gangwon three valuable points. As a result, Shin Min-ha received the most votes from TSG members.
Shin Min-ha, who was born in 2005, made her professional debut last season wearing a Gangwon uniform. This season, Shin Min-ha received a lot of attention as she was given the number 47 following Yang Hyun-joon and Yang Min-hyuk, who inherited Gangwon's Young Player Award. He is in charge of Gangwon's defense with his ability to match this.
In April 'Young Player of the Month' Shin Min-ha will receive the prize along with the trophy.
Last month, Lee Ji-ho won the first 'Young Player of the Month Award' and Shin Min-ha also won the Young Player Award for two consecutive months.
