GwangjuFC midfielder Moon Min-seo (22) has been awarded the 'Seven Select Player of the Month' for July in the 2026 season.
The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 4th that Moon Min-seo was selected as the Player of the Month for July in the 2026 season. The Player of the Month award is given monthly to a promising player who has demonstrated outstanding performance in K League 1.
The July Player of the Month award was evaluated based on a total of five matches played from Round 16 through Round 20 of K League 1. Moon Min-seo competed alongside eight other candidates, including Kwon Gi-min (Jeju SK), Kim Dong-jin (Pohang Steelers), and Seo Jae-min (Incheon United).
Moon Min-seo, a 2004-born midfielder who received the honor of Choi Jong (수상), participated in all five matches held in July and delivered an outstanding performance with two goals and one assist. Notably, he scored crucial equalizing goals in the Round 16 match against Ulsan HD FC and the Round 18 match against FC Anyang, saving GwangjuFC from the brink of defeat.
Entering his third year as a professional player this season, Moon Min-seo has firmly established himself not just as a promising talent but as a key resource for GwangjuFC. His dazzling performance throughout July earned him a place on the list of Players of the Month. Moon Min-seo will receive both a trophy and prize money.
Candidates for the Player of the Month award must meet all of the following criteria: Korean nationality, age 23 or under (born in 2003 or later), and within three years since their first appearance in an official K League match (debuting from the 2024 season onward). Among those who have played more than half of their team's total match time during the month, the Technical Research Group (TSG) under the league's Technical Committee deliberates and votes to select Choi Jong (수상) winner.
