There are a handful of players from both divisions who are approaching K League milestones, notably the 100 appearances mark. In addition, K League 2 side Gyeongnam FC are also just one more win away from 200 victories.

Jeung Seung-won, Daegu FC (99 appearances)

Wing-back Jeong Seung-won could make his Sky Blues century when Daegu FC take on newly-promoted Suwon FC at home on Saturday 27th February. Jeong made his Daegu bow in 2017, coming on as a substitute for Oh Gwang-jin at home to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in Round 10 in May that year. The 23-year-old's first start came a month later in a 0-0 draw with FC Seoul. The Korea U23 international has scored seven goals and assisted 12 so far for Daegu FC.

Lee Jae-hoon, Seoul E-Land (99 appearances)

Defender Lee Jae-hoon's next appearance for Seoul E-Land will be his 100th for the Leopards. Lee joined Seoul E-Land in 2016 and featured 16 times that year before departing for Gyeongju Citizen on loan as part of his mandatory military service. The bulk of the defender's appearances, though, came in the orange of Gangwon FC where he began his career in 2012 before departing for the capital in 2015. Lee's K League debut came in 2012, starting in Gangwon FC's 2-1 away win over Ulsan Hyundai in Round 14.

Park Dae-han, FC Anyang (99 appearances)

Left back Park Dae-han's FC Anyang debut will be his 100th appearance in K League. Park joined the Violets from Jeonnam Dragons over the winter after loan spells with Incheon United as well as Sangju Sangmu in 2020 as part of his military service. The 29-year-old has scored two K League goals and laid on five assists and has been given the number 25 shirt for Anyang in 2021.

Sim Sang-min, Gimcheon Sangmu (99 appearances)

Full back Sim Sang-min is entering the final year of his military service and is due to depart Gimcheon Sangmu this November. Appointed captain for the forthcoming campaign, though, should Sim be selected for Gimcheon's 2021 K League 2 season opener against Ansan Greeners on February 27th, it will be his 100th in K League. Sim began his K League career with FC Seoul in 2014, had a spell on loan with Seoul E-Land in 2016 but then joined Pohang Steelers in 2019. His K League debut came in FC Seoul's 2-0 win over Jeju United in March 2014. Throughout his career, Sim has scored once and assisted five.

Kim Dae-jung, Incheon United (99 appearances)

Centre back Kim Dae-jung returned to Incheon United in August last year after a near two year spell with Sangju Sangmu for military service. Should the 28-year-old be picked to feature in United's opener with Pohang Steelers on February 28th, it will be his 100th in K League. Kim began his career with Incheon but was immediately loaned out to Daejeon Citizen in 2014, helping the Purples win promotion. It was with Daejeon that Kim made his K League debut, coming off the bench in Citizen's 1-0 win over Goyang Zaicro in Round 21.

Jeong Woon, Jeju United (98 appearances)

Yet another full back on the verge of making it a K League century is Jeju United's Jeong Woon. Aside from a spell with Gimpo Citizen for military service, Jeong has been with Jeju since 2016 after joining from Croatian top tier side RNK Split. Jeong's first K League appearance came on 13th March 2016 in Jeju's 3-1 win over Incheon United. The Islanders first match back in the top flight following promotion, helped by Jeong Woon with 24 appearances, two goals and an assist, begins away to Seongnam on March 1st.

Gyeongnam FC, 199 K League wins

K League 2 side Gyeongnam FC are just one win away from the 200 victory milestone. Founded in 2006, the South Gyeongsang Province side began with a 0-0 draw against Bucheon SK (Jeju United) on 12th March that year, a first win came three rounds later - a 1-0 away victory over Daegu FC. Gyeongnam start the 2021 K League 2 season with a home fixture against FC Anyang, a side the Reds have lost just three times to in 15 meetings.
