The atmospheric goalkeeper set a new milestone. Kim Kyung-min (35, Gwangju FC) has built a golden tower of participating in 200 K-League games.

Gwangju announced in a press release on the 10th that Kim Kyung-min, who started in the second round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 home game against Incheon United at Gwangju World Cup Stadium on the 7th, achieved a record of 200 K-League games.

In a historic match, Kim not only achieved a record but also shone, driving his team's victory. Just before the end of the match against Incheon, he made a fantastic save to prevent the opponent's decisive penalty kick, adding meaning to his team's 3-2 victory.

Kim Kyung-min, who reached the K-League's 200 game mark, said through the club, "I've been holding out every day, so I've come up to 200 games," adding, "I want to tell all the players that if they don't give up and try until the end, they can achieve it."

Kim Kyung-min then added, "I sincerely thank the coach, the team members, the fans and families who always support me."

Kim Kyung-min, who started his professional career with Jeju United (currently Jeju SK) in 2014, is a goalkeeper who has silently gained experience by going through Busan I'Park, Pocheon Citizens' Soccer Team, and Seoul E-Land FC. Kim Kyung-min, who immediately took over the main position after joining Gwangju in 2022, played a key role in achieving the team's most wins and most points in the K League 2, including being selected as the K League 2 Best 11 in his first year.

Kim Kyung-min has emerged as the core of Gwangju under coach Lee Jung-hyo (current Suwon Samsung), completely playing the starting point of the build-up development required by modern soccer beyond his simple ability to defend himself. Based on these steady performances, he also had the honor of being selected for the first national team in 2024.
