He is the second son of Goyang Sono Kim Seung-ki. The first son is Kim Jin-mo, a professional basketball player who also plays for Daegu Gas Corporation.
In this season's professional basketball media day, he was asked to pick 10 promising teams, and KCC wrote 'Turbo Jr.'.
Director Kim Seung-ki's nickname during his active days was 'Turbo Guard'. This is because the stormy under-the-goal breakthrough stood out based on strong power.
However, the Media Day host recognized it as 'Talbo Junior' and became Kim Dong-hyun's nickname.
'Talbo Jr.' is growing. It boasts the strongest outside defense in the league this season.
It shows similar power to SK Oh Jae-hyun in Seoul.
Kim Dong-hyun, who weighs 88 kg at 1m90, has a natural physical condition. It's fast and strong.
In 2021, he joined KCC as the ninth choice in the first round. It has not grown as much as expected.
His performance using good physical conditions has already been recognized. But concentration and mind were the problem.
The performance was jagged, and the offense was not good at excessive breakthrough and shooting selection. The ability to read the flow of the game has declined. The same was true of the defense. He can display strong defense in good physical conditions, but he showed undulating play due to unreasonable choices. Therefore, last season's potential is endless, but it was not easy to use in practice.
This season, KBL is implementing a hard call policy that encourages strong physical fighting. Kim Dong-hyun has a chance.
In KCC, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong were out due to injury.
Kim Dong-hyun trained hard this season. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said, `Kim Dong-hyun has his own strengths. It will be used this season."
He hit it. He used his power as a lock down defender. He plays aggressive defense based on strong power. It is fast and strong, so it does not penetrate easily. Rather, Kim Dong-hyun's pressure defense works.
Heo Hoon was properly blocked in the opening game, and Goyang Sono Lee Jung-hyun also failed to perform well under Kim Dong-hyun's pressure. Sono Kim Seung-ki, who faced off at the time, said, `Lee Jung-hyun was slightly behind Kim Dong-hyun's power" he evaluated.
That's what the actual game was about. In the game, Kim Dong-hyun made a three-point shot and then provoked by stretching three fingers toward the bench's 'father'.
Kim Dong-hyun is growing into a key defender of the team, but KCC does not relax.
He is receiving great attention from his older brothers. It's so bouncy. He is considered the most "MZ-like player" in KCC. On the 29th, Lee Ho-hyun, a coach for the Samsung match, said, `Kim Dong-hyun is a player who cannot relax. I always tell him to focus only on defense and rebounding."
