Kim Do-young, a superstar of the professional baseball KIA Tigers, announced the publication of a photo book through the agency on the 12th. According to Kim Do-young's agency MVP Sports, Kim Do-young published a photo storybook "The Young King" on the 12th to remember baseball fans' performance in the 2024 season, which won the regular season MVP.메이저놀이터
Kim Do-young, who was named the first Kia Tigers player in 2022, displayed overwhelming performance in his third year as a pro last year. Marking his first full-time season after his debut, he showed off his destructive power in 141 games with a batting average of 347 (third), 38 homers (second), 109 RBIs (joint seventh), 40 steals (sixth), 143 runs (first), and slugging percentage of .647 (first), and OPS of 1.067 (first), marking the birth of a next-generation superstar.
Kim Do-young opened a record-breaking ceremony in April last year by achieving the first monthly 10 home runs and 10 steals. Since then, she has created and re-created a new history by scoring 100 points and 30 home runs and 30 steals in the youngest and the youngest game, the second natural cycling hit (in the order of hit-double-triple-homer), and the second highest number of runs in a single season. She became the first Korean player to challenge for 40 home runs and 40 steals until the last game of this season, and led Kia to the overall championship, winning its first championship ring, MVP, and third baseman Golden Glove at the same time.
The pictorial storybook consists of two volumes, "The Man" and "The Boy." It sells two volumes each and three versions that combine them into one set, and costs 29,000 won each and 58,000 won for the set.
The most notable point is where the proceeds from the sale of the pictorial will be used. "A significant portion of the proceeds from the pictorial will be donated to the neonatal intensive care unit of Asan Medical Center, Seoul Children's Hospital. It is based on the intention of Kim Do-young, who showed keen interest in young life in need, and the purpose of the pictorial production," MVP Sports said.
I met Kim Do-young at the Doosan Bears match in Jamsil on the 13th and heard more detailed stories about publishing and donating photo books.
"I was told many times that all I have left is photos, so I published a photo book. I like taking pictures, and last year was such a meaningful season that I wanted to keep it as a photo as much as possible," Kim said. "I received a photo book, and I was really surprised by its quality, not its promotion. I want to show you one here."
He also pledged to donate profits from sales. "We decided to donate profits from sales, but we are planning to add to that amount to make donations," Kim said. "I heard that photo books can be used as frames, so I'm going to buy a lot and give them out to the fans."
The reason why Kim Do-young decided to do a special good deed was because he was loved by many baseball fans across the country, including KIA fans, last year. The game on the 13th also drew 8,000 spectators even though it was a weekly exhibition game on weekdays, and KIA, a "national team," played a part in the box office.
Kim Do-young said, "The fans were rushing down, and I felt the enthusiasm of baseball was amazing. I was proud of myself, and I became proud of my job as a baseball player. I always felt that I had to do well to my fans," and showed off my fan-first spirit, saying, "I will continue to work hard to show good performances on the ground. Since many people came to see me, it is the job of a baseball player to repay me with good plays."
