Kim Gang-guk and Jang Dong-woo have been selected as the April contribution awardees of Gangwon FC.
Gangwon FC held the April contribution award ceremony during the home match against Gimcheon Sangmu in Round 13 of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at Chuncheon Songam Sports Town's main stadium on the 11th. Instituted last year, this monthly contribution award recognizes one 'Unsung Hero' from both the player roster and the front office, who has silently contributed to the club's development. The awardee receives a trophy and gift certificates.
The April institutional sector awardee is Kim Gang-guk. He played a pivotal role in the team's victory by scoring the opening goal in the 9th round match against Ulsan HD on the 19th of last month. With that win, Gangwon FC ended a 13-year winless streak at Ulsan away games. This season, Kim Gang-guk has participated in 10 league matches, recording 1 goal and 1 assist, while injecting vitality into the team with his diligent movements and dedicated play.
Kim Gang-guk noted, “I am truly grateful to receive this award. I believe I could obtain it thanks to the Gangwon FC fans who always support me, the front office, coaching staff, and the players I compete alongside,” and added, “I will strive to show good performances in the future.”
The 'Contribution Award of the Month' shines a light not only on players who excel on the field but also on the front office staff who dedicate themselves behind the scenes for the club. The April contribution awardee from the front office is Jang Dong-woo from the home game operations team. Team member Jang is responsible for home game operations and F&B services. He successfully expanded food content based on collaborations with local businesses and effectively led the brand day operations. His on-site planning and execution capabilities boosted fan satisfaction.
Jang Dong-woo expressed, “I am thankful to the home game operations team leader and my colleagues in the team who believed in me and supported me to push forward with my work,” and stated, “I will continue to ensure that Gangwon FC’s event spaces are more delicious, fun, and filled with diverse content to bring joy to the fans.”
