During Gongju Middle School, he transferred to Yaro Middle School in Hapcheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, and went on to a water safe. Due to the transfer, he was not eligible for the first nomination of the NC Dinos.
Kim Young-woong is a big infielder with great performance. Even in school days, as the grade went up, he stood out in the offense and defense. He showed his talent in the water safe, where he had a steady opportunity to play, and was able to become the biggest infielder in Gyeongnam when he was a high school senior.
He wore the Samsung Lions uniform as the third overall pick of the second round in the 2022 rookie draft. Samsung's eye was outstanding. Kim Young-woong, who spent two years as a promising player with great potential after joining the professional league, was in full bloom this season, taking the main third baseman. At the beginning of the season, Lee Jae-hyun's injury made him a regular shortstop.
Kim Young-woong, who gained confidence, took third baseman after Lee Jae-hyun's return and began to open the era of heroes with confidence in offense and defense. He hit .252 with 28 home runs and 79 RBIs in 126 games. The powerful swing with a slugging ratio of 0.485 was called the standard of big guns swing.
