The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 4th that Kim Cheon (SVP) striker Kim Ju-chan (22) was selected as the winner of the May K-League 'Drink with Confidence, Dongwon Spring Water Goal of the Month' for the 2026 season.

The 'Drink with Confidence, Dongwon Spring Water Goal of the Month', sponsored by Dongwon F&B, is an award given monthly to the player who scores the most impressive goal. The winner is decided through fan voting via the K-League membership application 'Kick'.

The May 'Goal of the Month' covered K-League 1 rounds 11 through 15, with Kim Ju-chan of Gimcheon and Mateus of Anyang named as candidates.

Kim Ju-chan scored a spectacular curling goal in the 25th minute of the second half against FC Anyang in round 14. Mateus made it onto the candidate list with a lightning-like long-range goal in the 1st minute of the second half against Jeju SK in round 15.

The 'Kick' fan voting took place for three days from last month's 28th (Thursday) to the 30th (Saturday). As a result, Kim Ju-chan received 2,923 votes (59.4%), surpassing Mateus, who received 1,994 votes (40.6%).

The winner, Kim Ju-chan, will receive a trophy along with a prize of 1 million won. The league plans to produce a replica trophy signed by Kim Ju-chan and hold a charity auction.
