Sponsored by Ringtee, the "Doctor-Made Ringtee Save of the Month" is an award given monthly to the player who makes the most impressive save.

In round 20, during the second half against Daejeon Hana Citizen, Baek Jong-beom made a dynamic save to block a close-range shot by Min-ju-gyu in the 16th minute of the second half. Kim Dong-heon was nominated after making a save on a free kick by Kim Young-gwon during stoppage time in round 19 against Ulsan HD.

The voting took place over three days, from the 6th to the 8th of last month. After converting vote weights, Baek Jong-beom received 57.2 points (4,191 votes), surpassing Kim Dong-heon's 42.8 points (3,429 votes) to claim the "July Save of the Month."
