Kim Do-young played in 22 games in July and recorded a batting average of 33 hits, seven homers, 21 RBIs, and 0.407. In particular, he achieved a natural cycling hit at least at-bats against Gwangju NC on July 23. The award was given by Kim Geun-oh, director of Bright Eye Hospital, and the prize money is 1 million won.
Kim Do-young donated 500,000 won of the prize money to help neighbors in need.
Kim Do-young had a fierce competition with Samsung catcher Kang Min-ho on his back with a strong fan spirit, but failed to win the MVP award in July by KBO. Kim Do-young, who was only half of Kang Min-ho's in the press corps vote, chased him fiercely with nearly twice as many votes in the fan vote, but failed to turn the tide.
