Seo Jae-min (23), a midfielder of Incheon United in the K-League 1 of professional football, ranked No. 1 in activity for the third consecutive round.

According to the K League 1 third-round player activity (best runner) rankings released by the Korea Professional Football Federation on the 17th, Seo Jae-min jumped 12.841km against the Pohang Steelers on the 15th to rank first in the K League 1.

Earlier, Seo Jae-min ran 12.288km in the opening match against FC Seoul and 13.443km in the second round against Gwangju FC to rank No. 1 in the K League 1 activity, but he also ranked first in the third round, showing an overwhelming presence.

According to the federation, Seo Jae-min is the first to rank No. 1 in activity for three consecutive rounds since the 30th round of last season when the physical data round was released to the public.

Born in 2003 and from FC Seoul Youth (Osan Middle School, Osan High School), he is a midfielder who made his debut in Seoul in 2022 and moved to Incheon this year through Seoul E-Land. As a midfielder, not only his skills and pass skills but also his enormous amount of activity revealed by his records are considered strengths.

Thanks to this, Seo Jae-min has been playing as a full season for the first three consecutive games with strong trust from coach Yoon Jung-hwan since his transfer to Incheon. He is also the only Incheon midfielder who is playing in the starting full season of all games.

As of the third round of the K League 1, the second-ranked player in activity was Lee Myung-joo (36), Seo Jae-min's midfield partner during the match against Pohang, who played 12.5km. Gangwon FC Lee Yoo-hyun and Seo Min-woo jumped 12.203km and 11.755km, Gwangju FC Moon Min-seo jumped 11.537km and Seoul Hwang Do-yoon jumped 11.441km to rank in the top 6.

As of the first to third rounds, only Seo Jae-min (1st to 3rd rounds) and Moon Min-seo (1st to 3rd rounds) and Park Tae-joon (1st to 2nd rounds) of Gimcheon Sangmu have ranked in the top 6 of their activities more than two times. Seo Jae-min's record of keeping the top spot in the three consecutive games as well as the top six active players is even more impressive.

Meanwhile, FC Anyang's Elkurano (36.77km/h), Ayrton (35.97km/h), and Incheon Gerson (35.65km/h) were the highest speed records in the third round, with foreign players ranking first to third.

Lee Yoo-hyun of Gangwon-do ranked fourth (35.45km/h) in the top speed after third in activity, followed by Kang Jun-hyuk (34.73km/h) of Gangwon-do and Trangiska (34.66km/h) of Pohang.
