KBO will hold the 2024 KBO Awards at Lotte Hotel World Crystal Ballroom in Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 26th. With the winners of each category taking the podium, the Rookie of the Year and MVP winners are of the greatest interest.
For MVP winners, Kia Motors will sponsor The Kia EV9 as an injury.
The Kia EV9 is Kia's flagship electric SUV, boasting excellent performance and sophisticated design, and has also been used as a first pitch vehicle in this 2024 KBO Korean Series. A Kia official said "We have offered the EV9, the top-notch model of the EV series, to match the MVP injury awarded to the best player of the KBO League regular season."We plan to continue various sports marketing activities using baseball in the future."
In addition, The Kia EV9 will be displayed in the lobby on the first floor of Lotte Hotel World in Seoul, where the award ceremony will be held, for about four weeks from today to Dec. 20, allowing baseball fans and visitors to enjoy the vehicle up close.
Kim Do-young already received a 'EV3' car as a special gift from his parent company Kia Motors on August 19 to mark the record of 30 homers and 30 steals in the youngest game ever. As MVP is likely, if he wins the top model 'EV9', he will receive two cars this year alone.
The key is whether it is unanimous or not. There is only one case of unanimous agreement in the KBO MVP vote in 1982 OB Bears Park Chul-soon.
Lee Jung-hoo (then Kiwoom), the overwhelming MVP of 2022, also received 104 votes, and the remaining three votes were split between Lee Dae-ho (two votes) and Ahn Woo-jin (one vote). Last year's MVP Eric Peddy (then NC) also received 102 votes, while Noh Si-hwan received 6 votes, Hong Chang-ki received 2 votes, and Choi Jeong received 1 vote, respectively. In reality, there was no unanimous agreement, and attention is being paid to the results of the vote counting to see if Kim Do-young, who is considered the 0th place this year, will be possible.
