Daejeon Hana Citizen goalkeeper Lee Chang-keun (33) has been crowned the K-League's best spider-like save artist for April.

The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 12th that Lee Chang-keun was ultimately selected as the winner of the 2026 K-League April 'Doctor-Made Ringtee Save of the Month'.

'Doctor-Made Ringtee Save of the Month' is an award presented monthly to the goalkeeper who makes the most impressive save, sponsored by Ringtee. For this April, the selection process covered K-League 1 matches from rounds 6 through 10. Lee Chang-keun and Kim Dong-heon (Incheon United) advanced to the final round of competition.

In the round 6 match against Pohang Steelers, Lee Chang-keun dynamically blocked Park Chan-yong's sharp header aimed at the corner of the goal in the 31st minute of the second half, drawing gasps from fans. Kim Dong-heon earned a spot on the shortlist by stopping Yago's powerful header in the 35th minute of the second half during the round 7 match against UlsanHD.

The award was decided by the fingertips of fans. Voting was conducted from the 7th to the 9th over three days via the K-League membership application 'Kick' (weight 80%) and the Ringtee official mall (weight 20%). As a result, Lee Chang-keun secured a weighted score of 67.3 points (3,299 votes), comfortably Je Chi-go (수상) Kim Dong-heon, who received 32.7 points (2,115 votes).

Lee Chang-keun, the proud recipient, will receive a trophy along with a prize of 1 million won. Additionally, the league plans to produce a replica trophy bearing Lee Chang-keun's autograph and hold a charity auction to repay the fans' support.
