Provided is a metal coated steel sheet having a coating layer including a metal having a level of Gibbs free energy equal to that of Fe or above and an oxide thereof. Accordingly, the quality of a plated steel sheet may be improved by preventing the generation of bare spots through inhibition of the formation of Mn oxide, Si oxide, or Al oxide on the surface thereof, and simultaneously, the complexity of a manufacturing facility or an increase in manufacturing costs may be minimized. Economic benefits are thus realized.
