Problem Statement

Let ABC\triangle ABC be an acute triangle, and let DD be the projection of AA on BCBC. Let M,NM,N be the midpoints of ABAB and ACAC respectively. Let Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 be the circumcircles of BDM\triangle BDM and CDN\triangle CDN respectively, and let KK be the other intersection point of Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2. Let PP be an arbitrary point on BCBC and E,FE,F are on ACAC and ABAB respectively such that PEAFPEAF is a parallelogram. Prove that if MNMN is a common tangent line of Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2, then K,E,A,FK,E,A,F are concyclic.
