Veteran Lee Chung-yong (38) of K League 1 club Incheon United has been named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Round 15 of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 season.

The Technical Research Group (TSG) under the Technical Committee of the Korea Professional Football League announced on the 19th that Lee Chung-yong was selected as the Round 15 MVP following quantitative and qualitative evaluations of players who participated in Round 15 of K League 1 last weekend.

Lee Chung-yong played in the match against Gwangju FC held on the 16th at Incheon Football Specialized Stadium, recording one goal and one assist to lead his team to a 4-0 victory.

Lee Chung-yong assisted Perier's opening goal in the 26th minute of the first half and sealed the team's dominant win by converting a penalty kick in the 21st minute of the second half. This marked his first attacking point and first goal in 15 matches since joining Incheon.

At the time, Lee Chung-yong expressed his thoughts, saying, "I am happy that the team was able to win by a large margin rather than me scoring a goal," and added, "I had no attacking points since transferring, so it feels positive to contribute to the team's victory with a goal and an assist."

The Best Match of K League 1 was selected as the Pohang Steelers vs. Bucheon FC match, which Bucheon FC won 2-0, and the Best Team was Gangwon FC, which defeated Ulsan HD 2-0 to achieve five consecutive matches without a loss.

Meanwhile, the MVP of K League 2 Round 12 was Ha Nam of Jeonnam Dragons, who scored two consecutive header goals in the 13th and 19th minutes of the second half while his team was trailing 0-2 against Cheongju FC, saving his team from a crisis of defeat.
