The `EA SPORTS Player of the Month' award is given by the Korea Professional Football Federation (President Kwon Oh-gap, hereinafter referred to as the 'Federation') and the official video game partner Electronic Arts (hereinafter referred to as 'EA") of the K-League to award the best performing player every month. It is awarded not only by the K-League, but also by major European leagues such as the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 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 June targeted a total of four games from the 18th to 21st rounds of the K League 1 held in June, and as a result, Kang Sang-yoon (Jeonbuk), Asani (Gwangju), Lee Seung-won (Kimcheon), and Compagno (Jeonbuk) were nominated.
Kang Sang-yoon, who returned to Jeonbuk on loan this season, is contributing to Jeonbuk's leading run by playing as a key midfielder in the team. In the 19th round against Suwon FC, he contributed to Jeonbuk's 3-2 victory by posting one assist and was also selected as round MVP. This is the first time Kang Sang-yoon, who made his professional debut as a semi-professional contract in the 2022 season, has been nominated for the Player of the Month Award.
Asani, a housekeeper in Gwangju, is the top scorer in the team with six goals and two assists this season. Asani scored one goal and one assist each in the 20th round against Daejeon and the 21st round against Anyang, scoring two goals and two assists in June alone. Asani was nominated for the Player of the Month Award in February of the 2023 season, but was unfortunately not selected because he was 0.39% behind Joo Min-gyu at the time. Asani aims to win his first player of the month award thanks to his performance in June.
Gimcheon Lee Seung-won is spending his career high season with one goal and three assists in all games this season, marking his third year as a professional.
Lee scored one goal and one assist in four games held in June, and was named the best 11 in the round twice. This is the first time Lee Seung-won has been nominated for the Player of the Month award.
As soon as Compagno entered the K-League wearing a Jeonbuk uniform this season, he scored eight goals, showing off his outstanding scoring ability. Compagno scored an equalizer in the 19th round against Suwon FC and a multi-goal in the 21st round against Gimcheon, making them the best 11 in both rounds, and was named the round MVP in the 21st round.
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, once a day, from the 10th to the 13th when the vote is held after signing up for membership in the 'Kick' application. FC online user voting, which takes place during the same period, can only participate once per ID.
