Young but reliable gatekeeper Kim Min-seung (21) expressed his feelings about leading Paju FC Frontier's first scoreless game.

Paju won 2-0 with consecutive goals by Bonilla and Borja Baston in the fourth round of the Hana Bank K League 2026 home game against the Jeonnam Dragons at Paju Stadium on the 21st.

Paju, which won two consecutive games, ranked fifth with two wins and two losses (six points). In addition, it was a victory with many meanings. Paju, the "new team" who entered the professional stage for the first time this year, scored its first home goal, first scoreless, and first consecutive wins.

Victory lessons included center back Bonilla, who scored the first goal with a surprise mid-range shot, and Borja Baston, who scored a penalty for two consecutive games. However, above all, Kim Min-seung, the freshman gatekeeper who led the scoreless victory, stood out.

Kim Min-seung, who met in the joint coverage area (Mix Zone) after the game, said, "I didn't expect it to be easy, and it was actually a difficult game," but added, "The part we prepared well defensively was effective, and we were able to win as a 'one team' because the strikers scored their own goals."

Behind the meaningful record of the club's first clean sheet in history was the desperation and fierce communication of the defense. Kim Min-seung confessed, "In order not to lose a point, we encouraged them to constantly talk in the stadium, sometimes exchanging curses with each other, and stay alert."

When asked, "Who said the most harsh words?" he thanked his teammates, saying, "[Kim] Hyun-tae took the lead in such communication today, and I think he was able to finish the game without losing a point."

Kim Min-seung, a former Busan I'Park Youth, did not make the professional stage until joining Paju. His professional debut, which is a bit late for him, is meaningful. Kim Min-seung showed a mature attitude, saying, "I was very excited about the first game, but I am playing with the idea that I should not naturally melt into the team and cause any damage as I continue to play."

Kim Min-seung drew the attention of fans with his penalty saves in the last two consecutive games. After accurately blocking Kim Ji-hyun's penalty against Suwon Samsung on the 7th, Malone's penalty was also blocked in the away game of the Ansan Greeners on the 15th.

Kim Min-seung credited his good defense to the power analyst. "Kihyun, a power analyst, always edits and sends me videos containing the penalty habits of opposing strikers before the game," he said. "I just flew in the direction Kihyun took based on the video." I was lucky, but I'm most grateful to Kihyun," he said.

In addition, he cited Malone's penalty shot, which led to the team's first victory, as the "most thrilling save this season."

Kim Min-seung's eyes are now on higher ground. When asked about this season's goal, he said, "First of all, the team's first priority is to advance to the playoffs," adding, "We will do our best to be on the Asian Games or Olympic national team once again."

Finally, he expressed his sincere gratitude to the fans. "I haven't seen it until the last game, but I was very moved because there were more fans than I thought in this home game with my uniform," he said. "Thanks to that support, I was able to cheer up and prevent it." If you come to the stadium a lot in the future, I will repay you with a strong performance," he vowed.
