Kim Min-jae (30) served Korean-style chicken as a late-night snack to his Bayern Munich teammates on the final day of their Korea tour.

German outlet "Bavarian Football Works" reported on the 6th (Korea time) that "Kim Min-jae prepared a special Korean meal for his teammates on his last night in Korea."

According to the report, Kim Min-jae ordered chicken to the hotel where the team was staying shortly after the friendly match against Jeju SK on the 4th.

The media expressed some regret that they chose chicken instead of famous Jeju specialties such as black pork or seafood. However, it also evaluated that "given that the team returned to the hotel late at night, past 10 p.m., chicken, which is easy to deliver and a Han Guk-eul (CEO) late-night snack culture, was a rational choice." It added, "We hope the Munich squad also experienced various local dishes during their four-day stay in Jeju."

Munich won 2-1 in the friendly match against Jeju, 'Audi Football Summit 2026', held at Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 4th.

On this day, Kim Min-jae started as captain, wearing the armband, and led the defense steadily for 37 minutes before being substituted early to the applause of the crowd.

Munich manager Vincent Kompany clearly stated in a post-match press conference that Kim Min-jae's early substitution was "for managing his physical condition." He said, "Kim Min-jae is a very important player for the team. He needs to play more than 60 minutes in the upcoming match against Aston Villa, so we adjusted his playing time." He also added, "We considered it important that he played as captain in his home country of Korea."

Having successfully completed their Korea tour, Munich will face Aston Villa of England's Premier League (EPL) in Hong Kong on the 7th. After a practice match against Leipzig on the 15th, they will begin their full new season journey with the Super Cup final against Borussia Dortmund on the 23rd.
