Kia awarded Kim Do-young, who showed his best performance, 500 million won (468,890 dollars) in compensation, up 400 million won (468,400 dollars) from last year's 100 million won (8,400 dollars) in annual salary. This far exceeded the highest annual salary of 390 million won (368,400 dollars) that Lee Jung-hoo (then Kiwoom Heroes) received in 2020
