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. He also set a new record-high annual salary increase rate for his team with 400 percent annual salary increase rate.
After signing the contract, Kim said, "I want to thank the team for providing me with favorable conditions. I am happy to sign a satisfactory contract, but I also feel a sense of responsibility. I will not settle for the present and continue to grow."
Kim hurt her left hamstring in the regular season opener against the NC Dinos on April 22. She had a hit to the left in the third inning with one out, before going to the second base, and suffered the injury while returning to the first base. Kim, who faced unfavorable conditions from the first day of the season, has been steadily rehabilitating and is preparing to return to the real game. 먹튀검증
According to the club, Kim Do-young underwent an ultrasound examination at a good hospital on the 21st and was found to be able to train normally. As a result, he will undergo technical training on the 22nd, participate in the Futures game (against Hampyeong Samsung) on the 23rd, and live batting on the 24th, and wait for the first-team call-up.
Japanese sports media "Tokyo Sports" reported the early return of Kim Do-young, who suffered a hamstring injury on the 21st, saying, "The Korean media is reacting to the news of Kim Do-young's return, who achieved the youngest triple three in the KBO league last year."
"Kia, which won the combined championship last year, is struggling due to Kim Do-young's injury absence, and currently ranks sixth in the league with 11 wins and 12 losses. Attention is focusing on whether Kim will be able to regain momentum after his return," the media outlet said.
The Japanese media are interested in Kim Do-young's early return because he is a star player representing the KBO League and a key member of the Korean national team at the WBC.
