The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on the 14th that Hwang In-jae (32), the gatekeeper of the Pohang Steelers, won the K-League's "Ringti Save of the Month" from February to March of the 2026 season.

Sponsored by Ringti, the doctor-made Ringti Save of the Month is an award given to the player who made the most impressive save every month. The winners are determined by the results of fan voting for two candidates.

From February to March, the "Save of the Month" targeted the K League 1's first to fifth rounds, and Hwang In-jae and Daejeon Hana Citizen Lee Chang-geun were named as candidates. Hwang In-jae dynamically saved Han Ji-ho's shot heading to the corner of the goal in the 38th minute of the second half of the fifth round against Bucheon. Lee Chang-geun was nominated in the 35th minute of the first half of the fourth round against Incheon by blocking Mugosa's powerful header.

The vote, which was held through the official mall of Kick and Ringti, was held for three days from Thursday to Saturday, the 9th of this month. As a result of the conversion of voting weight, Hwang In-jae received 58.3 points (3,684 votes) and beat Lee Chang-geun, who received 41.7 points (3,155 votes), for the "February-March Save of the Month."

Hwang In-jae, who was selected as the winner, will receive a trophy along with a prize of 1 million won. Following last year, the federation plans to produce a replica trophy with the signature of this month's save winner and hold a donation auction this year.
