The Korea Football Association announced on the 2nd that the two were selected as the Players of the Year at the 2023 KFA Awards held at the Mayfield Hotel in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

This year's player is an award given to Korean male and female soccer players who have performed the best in the national team and their teams throughout the year, and is selected by voting from 50 people, including the soccer team leader of the media, the association's technology development committee, and the national team power reinforcement committee.

Kim Min-jae, who first received the award, ranked second after Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) in 2021 and 2022, but this time, he garnered a total of 137 points to rank No. 1. Son Heung-min, who has the most wins (seven times), ranked second (113 points) and Lee Kang-in from Paris Saint-Germain ranked third (84 points).

In the women's category, Chun ranked first (20 points) by voting from coaches of the WK League, coaches of the women's national team, and full-time female leaders of the Korea Football Association. Chun beat Ji So-yeon of Suwon FC by one point.
