Eight goals and one assist in 11 games. This is the current record of Joo Min-gyu (35) of the Daejeon Hana Citizen. He does not shoot at random. He takes out his dagger when necessary and when appropriate. He has only made 16 attempts so far. The key is accuracy. He has 12 shots on target. There is nothing wrong with the expression "super killer."
Joo's sense of goal stood out in the 10th round home game of "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" against Gangwon FC held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on Sunday. Without a chance throughout the first half, he scored a header goal of an RBI single in the 29th minute of the second half when he had a set piece (corner kick) situation. This is the result of his mindset of "scoring a goal in every game."

After displaying the essence of "one shot, one kill" with his only shot on the day, Joo made it to the top 100 goals (26 assists, 222 games) in the K-League 1. He is the fourth player after Lee Dong-gook (213 goals, 506 games), Dejan (184 goals, 351 games), and Kim Shin-wook (116 goals, 327 games). Having first won the K-League 1 at Sangju Sangmu (currently Kimcheon Sangmu) in 2017, he has played in Ulsan HD and Jeju SK, and is now making history by settling in Daejeon Hana this season. His personal records including K-League 2 are 152 goals and 40 goals (370 games).

"I am honored to become the fourth player in the K-League 1 with a long history of more than 40 years," Joo said. "It is a different story to score 100 goals and prepare for 100 goals after this season. I think I will score more goals in the future."

Despite his old age, Joo's strength is his mental strength and patience. He is not swayed at any time or any moment. He plays the role that is given for one chance. Gangwon's defense team, led by Kang's fighting spirit and Shin Min-ha, bothered him throughout the game, but he did not miss the opportunity. He said, "It worked when he repeatedly said, 'Let's be patient and save a chance.'

With the current momentum, Daejeon Hana seems to be able to regain top scorer and win the team title. With Joo Min-gyu as the top scorer, Daejeon Hana is the lone lead with seven wins, two draws and two losses, and 23 points. It is different from the previous season, when the team was on the verge of relegation, trailing the bottom ranks. Moreover, his goal pace is better than that of the 2023 season (17 goals), when he became the top scorer. At the time, Joo had six goals in 11 matches in the opening of the season. 메이저사이트

However, the goal is clear. It is only "winning." Although Joo Min-gyu is usually tight-lipped, he spoke in a strong tone, saying, "I will bet everything on winning the team." He has his own confidence. "They have the conditions to win the championship, including trust and team atmosphere. Crisis will come, but we can overcome it. I am in good physical condition as well. I also have some leeway," he said.
