Breaking the Lines explained on the 12th (local time) that "Kim Min-jae is a broken player and a soccer player who develops his position. He can praise his tackle, aerial dominance, calmness in pressure situations, and is good at ball control, space control, and situation control."
The media reads the game clearly enough that Kim Min-jae is close to perspective, and removes risks from the game. Strikers trying to find space to Kim Min-jae often seem to hit an invisible wall. "It's amazing to see the tackles. Kim Min-jae defends with his feet and defends accurately," he said.

Breaking Durrines says "What really makes him stand out is when there is a ball. Modern football is demanding a lot from defenders, and Kim Min-jae presents a blueprint for a 21st century centre-back"His pass range is enormous. Not only can he use short, sharp passes that break down opposition pressure, but he is also good at tearing up defense with a 45m diagonal pass."
He also talked about mental strength.
The media said "What distinguishes Kim Min-jae above all is his mental strength. There are many talented players, but the mindset determines the game. Kim Min-jae, who grew up as an elite European player in the K League, had a constant fighting spirit"He does not seek the spotlight, nor is he intoxicated with individual honor. A player who prioritizes the success of his team and speaks for himself with his skills," Kim said.

The media said "He's already one of the best defenders in the world, but the question is, can he be the best. To do this, we must continue to develop tactically and technically while maintaining our physical peak"After five years, he could become the champion of the Champions League (UCL), the finalist of the Ballon d'Or, and the cornerstone of the golden generation of Korean soccer. But it depends on what choice he makes."
In explaining Kim Min-jae's ability, the names of world-class defenders such as Maldini, Bonucci and Van Dijk were also mentioned.
"Paulo Maldini's instincts, Leonardo Bonucci's passing, Virgil van Dijk's athleticism, a rare defender of all ages," the media said. "He reminded me that it is as beautiful an art as offensive play when defense is done properly."."
