There is a lot in the uniform number. It also distinguishes the position and means the role accordingly. There is another one. It is symbolism. Any team has a special number. For K League 1 Gangwon FC, it is No. 47. Gangwon's next-generation specials wore uniforms with No. 47.안전놀이터

The first protagonist was Yang Hyun-joon (23), who joined Celtic (Scotland) after playing for Gangwon Province from 2021 to the summer of 2023. He then made his debut as a semi-professional and signed an official professional contract, and Yang Min-hyuk (19), who led his team to the runner-up in the regular season with 12 goals and six assists last season, took over 47 times for Tottenham (England). In the 2025 season, defender Shin Min-ha (20) became the owner of the special uniform number.

Since his debut as a pro in 2024, Shin has been a "grown-up cotyledons." With his uniform number 30, he played in 20 games last season and displayed impressive performance. Shin Min-ha, who boasts fast speed, the right to provide and control over space, always kept his "place to be" whenever he stepped on the pitch, even though he played as a substitute.

Shin is more than expected even in the 2025 season as he played 47 times. He has played seven games to keep his team's defense line. The away game in the 19th round of the K League against Ulsan HD at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 19th, when Gangwon won 2-1, showed his value.

Shin even played the role of troubleshooter on the day. He connected Kim Kang-guk's cross to an accurate RBI header in the second minute of the 1-1 tense second half. His unique strength of jump shone through. With Shin's K-League debut goal and first offensive point, Gangwon ended a bitter relationship with Ulsan. After losing 16 consecutive games in away games in Ulsan after winning 2-1 on May 26, 2012, he laughed for the first time in 13 years.

Shin Min-ha said, "I'm a defender, but I'm confident that I've shown aggressive and challenging performances. This marks the beginning of the true season. The header is not strong, but running and Sargent jumping are my strengths. I proved this with a header goal against Ulsan."

Of course, he is not complacent. Shin wants to become a full-body defender. He is learning everything about his role model Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich). "We need to develop physical and build-up skills, compared to the right to provide and speed. Build-up skills, in particular, are good sense. Even though we build our bodies, we need to pressure our opponents to steal the ball and examine the space to distribute the ball to strikers. We are constantly watching Kim Min-jae's game and conducting image training."

Since last year, Shin has played for the U-20 team in 11 matches and scored three goals to become a defender of goal. He also played at the AFC U-20 Asian Cup held in February this year. "I try to fill it by running and bumping into each other. I want to be remembered as a good player who makes commitment and produces results," Shin said, expressing his commitment to become the best player.
