The May 2023 nominations for the EA SPORTS K LEAGUE Player Of The Month award, presented by the Korea Football Association (KFA) and Electronic Arts (EA), the official videogame partner of the K League, are now open.
The EA SPORTS K League Player of the Month awards are presented across the K League, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1, and recognise the best performers in each league each month.
The EA SPORTS K League Player of the Month Award will be decided by a first round of voting by the league’s TSG Technical Committee (60%), followed by a second round of voting by K League fans (25%) and EA FIFA Online 4 users (15%), with the results of the first and second rounds combined to determine the winner.안전놀이터
The winner of the Player of the Month award will receive a trophy, a Player of the Month patch on their jersey for the season, and a ‘Player of the Month’ marker on their FIFA Online 4 player card.
The May nominees are Ko Young-joon (Pohang), Bacco (Ulsan), Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk) and In-jong-kyu (Ulsan). Ko, who was nominated again last month, played in all five matches in May, scoring two goals and providing one assist. In particular, a goal against Jeonbuk in Round 15, which marked the 50th anniversary of the team’s founding, gave Pohang a 1-0 victory.
Ulsan’s Bako showed off his scoring prowess with three goals in five games.
Baek Seung-ho played in four games, one less than the other nominees, but scored three goals to spark Jeonbuk’s rebound.
Ulsan’s In-jong-kyu, who won the Player of the Month award in February and March, scored three goals in five matches, most notably a dramatic equaliser just before the end of the match between Ulsan and Daejeon in Round 15 that sent fans into a frenzy.
Meanwhile, the K League Fan Vote will be conducted through the ‘Kick’ application. Fans can vote once per day per ID after signing up for the app. The voting period is from 10am on Thursday 8th to midnight on Sunday 11th.
