Biology question enzyme affinity

Hi, please could i have help on this question? The markscheme says that enzyme K has lower affinity than enzyme J but both enzymes have the same Km so surely they both have the same affinity to the substrate?
Here is the question: https://app.gemoo.com/share/image-annotation/633746560791506944?codeId=DWldWY9G1a8Ae&origin=imageurlgenerator
