Min-Jeong Young

A dominant midfield engine, she pairs relentless aggression and immense physical presence to swallow up attacks, even if her sliding tackles remain hilariously clumsy.

Her brilliant defensive IQ makes her the backbone of the squad, and she approaches every bruising encounter with an unshakeable, friendly smile.
