Jung Seung-won (29) of FC Seoul in K-League 1 has been named the K-League Player of the Month for August. This marks his second consecutive month following last July.

The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 17th that "Jung Seung-won was named Player of the Month for two consecutive months, following his selection in July."

In all six K-League 1 matches played in August, Jung Seung-won recorded three goals and three assists. He was selected as Match Man of the Match (MOM) twice and made the Round Best 11 three times.

Notably, in the 24th-round match against FC Anyang, he delivered a standout performance with one goal and two assists, earning him the Round MVP title.

Thanks to such performances, Jung Seung-won secured the honor of Player of the Month, outperforming fellow nominees Lee Dong-kyung (Ulsan HD), Rubensson (Daejeon Hana Citizen), and Gallego (Bucheon FC).

In the first-round Technical Steering Group (TSG) voting (60%), Jung Seung-won ranked second with 20%, behind Gallego (21.18%). He also placed second in both the K-League fan vote (25%) and the FC Online user vote (15%), but ultimately topped the combined total score to beat his competitors.

Gallego, who ranked first in the TSG technical committee voting, finished fourth in the K-League fan vote and third in the FC Online user vote. Conversely, Lee Dong-kyung, who led both the fan vote and the FC Online user vote, received the fewest votes in the TSG technical committee voting.

The Player of the Month award is determined by selecting candidates from players who were named MOM, Best 11, or MVP during K-League 1 matches held over a month, through voting by the league's TSG Technical Committee.

Subsequently, additional voting is conducted via the official K-League website fan vote (25%) and FC Online user vote (15%). The player who accumulates the highest converted score across all three categories is named Player of the Month for that month.

Jung Seung-won will receive a trophy and prize money, along with the privilege of wearing a Player of the Month patch on his jersey for this season.

Due to his consistent performances over two consecutive months as K-League Player of the Month, Jung Seung-won has also been called up to the South Korea national football team by head coach Roberto Moreno (Spain).
