The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 13th that "Kim Dae-won was named the Player of the Month for April in the 2026 season."

The April Player of the Month award covered matches from Round 6 to Round 10 of K League 1, as well as the rescheduled Round 2 match between UlsanHD and FC Seoul held on April 15.

The nominees included Kim Dae-won, Malcang (Ulsan), Celine (JejuSK), and Lee Ho-jae (Pohang Steelers). Among them, Kim Dae-won received the highest combined score of 37.03 points.

Second place was Ulsan striker Malcang, who recorded 35.27 points.

He was truly the core of Kangwon's offense. Kim Dae-won appeared in all five matches played during April, racking up three goals and two assists.

Notably, in the Round 9 match against Gimcheon, Kim Dae-won led the team to a 3-0 victory with two goals and one assist. He was involved in all three of his team's goals, displaying outstanding performance.

During the evaluation period, Kim Dae-won was selected as Round MVP twice and made the Best 11 three times. Kangwon recorded three wins, one draw, and one loss. Thanks to this, Kim Dae-won secured the Player of the Month award.

The Player of the Month award selects candidates through the league's TSG Technical Committee vote (60%) for players selected as Man of the Match (MOM), Best 11, or MVP in K League 1 matches played over the month.

Subsequently, a fan vote (25%) on the official K League website and a vote (15%) by FC ON LINE users are conducted among the candidates. The player who achieves the highest converted score by combining the points from these three categories is named the Player of the Month for the month. As a result, Kim Dae-won took the title.

The league stated, "Kim Dae-won will receive a trophy and a cash prize, and will also be granted the benefit of wearing the Player of the Month patch on his uniform throughout this season."
