Since then, Jeka (Pohang) and Na Sang-ho (Seoul, 12 goals) have been added, but it does not seem easy to turn it around.

Pohang's striker Jeka is ranked first overall with 47,094 points through the 35th round in the K-League Power Ranking 'Adidas Points' combined score selected by the Professional Federation, so he can be named as an MVP candidate.

Uhm Seong Uhm, who debuted in 2021, won the K League 2 Young Player Award last season.

If he receives the K League 1 Young Player Award this year, Uhm Seong will have the honor of becoming the first K League player to sweep both the 1st and 2nd Division Young Player Awards.
