Veteran Baekjeon Kim Min-cheon has opened his second heyday!

In the meantime, there is a player who plays silently. It is Kim Min-cheon, a veteran player. Kim Min-cheon began his career as a second official in 2002. Except for seven wins in 2003 and nine wins in 2005, he is one of the silent strongmen who play his part by recording double-digit wins every year.
Kim Min-cheon's first heyday was in 2011. In that year, he won his first career multiple wins with 36 wins. In addition, he participated in four Grand Prix races that year, winning the King of the Board of Directors and the Grand Prix of the Media Company (Herald), and finishing second and third in another Grand Prix of the Media Company (Sports Trend) and began to be recognized by customers with the best year. Since then, he has won two Daesang races, two runner-ups, and one third place until 2018, and has proudly been listed as a strong player with compliance.
However, although he had 26 wins in 2019, he suffered from back-to-back qualifiers in Daesangju, and then slowly started his second heyday by ranking third in the Kuri Harabae Special Correctional Officer in 2022, and second in the Media (Sports World) Cup last year.

Kim Min-cheon's strengths can be summarized in three main ways.
First of all, a stable start can be cited. In his 22 years of playing career, he has violated only seven prior starts (flying). The overall starting record is 0.27 seconds, with an average starting record of 0.33 seconds from 2003 to 2009, and an average starting record of 0.24 seconds from 201 to this year, showing increasing stability over the years.
Kim Min-cheon's second advantage is that he has a wide view of Gyeongju. If there is a player who started faster than himself, he/she will calmly solve the race based on development rather than the excessive winding method, settle in the rankings even if he/she is not necessarily the first place, and show an undulating performance.

Lee Seo-beom, an analyst at Jeon Sang-ji, said, `Kim Min-cheon shows such strong concentration that once he gains momentum this year, he will easily win three consecutive wins and five consecutive wins. He is showing stable performance not only when the inside course is assigned, but also when the outside is assigned"I hope that Kim Min-cheon, who is in his second heyday, will blossom splendidly in the remaining big competitions of this year, the Kuriharae Cup in October and the Grand Prix race in December," he said.
