Jeong Min-ki (Korean: 정민기; born 9 February 1996) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Suwon FC.
FC Anyang
Jeong joined FC Anyang ahead of the 2018 K League 2 season, making his professional debut.[1] His contract was for one year. He signed a one-year extension with FC Anyang ahead of the 2019 season.[2] With Anyang's starting goalkeeper Yang Dong-won injured in July, he seized the opportunity to play, appearing in two consecutive matches against Asan Mugunghwa and Gwangju FC. Anyang won 4-1 and 7-1, respectively. He signed a one-year extension with FC Anyang ahead of the 2020 season.[3]
Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors
Jeong transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors ahead of the 2023 season to replace Song Bum-keun, who left for Japan.[4]
Suwon FC and Sanfrecce Hiroshima
On 6 February 2025, it was announced that Jeong would join Sanfrecce Hiroshima on loan.[5]
On 4 June 2025, in the absence of starting goalkeeper Keisuke Osako due to Japan national team call-up, Jeong started in the first leg of the 2025 J.League Cup playoff round against Avispa Fukuoka. Although the team lost 0-1, it was his first official appearance since the transfer.[6][7] He continued to start in the second leg at home on 8 June, and although the game ended 2-2 on aggregate, he saved a penalty kick by Wellington, the fifth kicker, to lead the team to the quarterfinals, and was named Man of the Match for that match.[6][8]
Personal life
Jeong's father, Jeong Sung-jin, was appointed goalkeeper coach for the South Korea national team under manager Cha Bum-kun in February 1997[9] and accompanied the team to the 1998 FIFA World Cup as part of the coaching staff. His older brother is an employee of Ulsan HD FC.[10]
