A fan vote to select the protagonist of the 'EA SPORTS Player of the Month Award' in May will be held for four days from the 12th to the 15th.
The "EA SPORTS Player of the Month" award is given by the Korea Professional Football Federation (President Kwon Oh-gap) and the official video game partner Electronic Arts of the K-League to award the best player every month. It is awarded not only by the K-League, but also by major European leagues such as the English Premier League, the Spanish Primera Liga, the German Bundesliga, and the French League 1.
This month's Player of the Month award is for four candidates selected through the first vote (60%) of the federation's TSG Technology Committee, with the second K-League fan vote (25%) and EA FC Online (hereinafter referred to as 'FC Online') user vote (15%), and the winners are determined by summing the results of the first and second votes.
The winner of the Player of the Month award will receive benefits such as awarding trophies and attaching patches for the Player of the Month award to the uniforms of the season.
The Player of the Month Award in May targeted a total of seven games from the 11th to 17th rounds of the K League 1 held in May, and as a result, Park Jin-seop, Jeon Jin-woo (Jeonbuk), Andersson (Suwon FC), and Eric (Ulsan) were nominated.
Jeonbuk's defensive midfielder Park Jin-seop has played in all games this season, contributing to his team's lowest number of runs in the league (average 0.7 runs). In addition to defense, Park Jin-seop scored the winning goal in the 41st minute of the second half against Ulsan in the 17th round. This is the first time Park Jin-seop has been nominated for the Player of the Month Award.
In May, Suwon FC Andersson made six of his 10 offensive points (five goals and five assists) during this season, scoring four goals and two assists. In particular, Andersson scored two goals and one assist in the match against Daejeon in the 14th round and was named MVP.
Ulsan Eric was responsible for five goals, nearly half of Ulsan's 12 goals in May. In the 13th round against Jeju, he led the team to a 2-1 victory with a come-from-behind winning goal, and in the 15th round against Gimcheon, he contributed to Ulsan's 3-2 victory with multiple goals.
Jeonbuk Jeon Jin-woo is aiming for the Player of the Month award for the second consecutive month until this May following April. Jeon Jin-woo scored five goals in all games held in May, and Jeonbuk went undefeated with five wins and two draws in May thanks to Jeon's performance.
Meanwhile, K-League fan voting for the Player of the Month Award can be participated through the official K-League application 'Kick'. Those who want to vote for fans can vote up to four times a day from the 12th (Thursday) to the 15th (Sunday) when the vote is held after signing up for membership in the 'Kick application.
