Mun Eun-ju (Korean: 문은주) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a forward or attacking midfielder for WK League club Hwacheon KSPO and the South Korea national team.
Mun was selected by Hwacheon KSPO as the first overall pick at the 2021 WK League new players draft.[1][2] She was considered to be one of the league's most promising young players at the start of her second season with the club, and scored a hat-trick in Hwacheon's third round match against Changnyeong WFC.[3][4]
Mun was named in the 2025 WK League Best XI at the annual WK League Awards, following a season in which she scored 12 goals, and Hwacheon won their first WK League title to complete a domestic treble.[5][6] Mun missed the start of the 2026 WK League season due to an injury sustained while on international duty.[7]
International career
Mun made her senior international debut for South Korea in 2023, coming on as a substitute in the side's match against Myanmar at the 2022 Asian Games.[8] She scored twice in her second A match appearance a few days later.[9] Mun played in all three of South Korea's matches on the way to lifting the trophy at the 2025 EAFF E-1 Football Championship.[10][11]
Mun played in all of South Korea's matches at the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup, scoring twice during the group stage to help her side progress to the quarter-finals as group winners.[12][13] Mun sustained an injury in the first half of the team's semi-final clash with Japan, and as a result she was absent from the national team squad for the 2026 FIFA Series.[14][15]
