Yeo Min-ji
South Korean association football player
Yeo Min-ji (Korean: 여민지; born 27 April 1993) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a forward for Selangor.
Early life
Yeo became interested in football as a child, playing together with her older brother. She began training in earnest when she joined the football academy at Myeongseo Elementary School in Busan in the fourth grade. She was the top goalscorer when her team achieved a clean sweep of all the domestic tournament titles in 2005.
While playing for Haman Daesan High School and representing South Korea at youth level, Yeo sustained an injury to her right knee which required surgery. Yeo later attended Ulsan College, where she was part of the winning team at the university division of the Korean Women's National Championship.
Club career
Following her performance at the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, Yeo was one of the most highly anticipated newcomers ahead of the start of the 2014 WK League. She was the third pick at the 2014 WK League draft, signing a three-year contract with Chungbuk Sportstoto. While playing for Sportstoto for five years, she won two Korean Women's National Championship titles with the club, and became the top goalscorer at one of the two tournaments.
After leaving Sportstoto at the end of the 2018 season, Yeo played for Suwon UDC from 2019 to 2020, and Gyeongju KHNP from 2021 to 2024.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Yeo Min-ji” as south Korean association football player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as south Korean association football player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16175903. VIAF identifies the subject as 165150468255104171371. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2005, 2010 and 2014.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
