In the Asian Cup, South Korea made it all the way to the quarterfinals, aiming to regain the top of Asia after 64 years. Kim Min-jae, a center back who plays for Bayern Munich in Germany, is not only spirited on the green field, but also strives to not lose his poise off the field. It was reported that Kim was randomly selected for a drug test after the last eight match against Australia. After completing the test, he chose to stay behind to clean up the drug testing room, even if the staff persuaded to leave, but also did not move, insisting not to leave himself or the Korean team to be criticized.
Kim Min Jae fought tirelessly for 120 minutes against Australia, and after the match he took a drug test with teammate Lee Kang In, which took two hours to complete. While the crowd rushed back to the hotel to rest, Kim started cleaning up, from organizing towels to cleaning up the bags of food and cups left behind by the Australian players. He insisted on doing it himself," said Lee Jae-chul, Korea's team manager, "even though we had someone in charge of cleaning up. He thought that if he left the room in a mess, it might leave a bad taste in people's mouths. Kim Min Jae thinks that organizing the room is not hard work, but it ensures that it will not be talked about by others."
