He has a batting average of 347, 38 homers, 109 RBIs, 143 runs and 40 steals in 141 games. KIA won the combined championship thanks to Kim Do-young's 「Crazy Performance」, and all the spotlight went to Kim Do-young. It was no exaggeration to say that Kim Do-young swept all the awards at the end of the year, including regular season MVP and Golden Glove. As such, his performance was overwhelming beyond the expression of impressive.

So Kim Do-young's 2025 season is bound to attract attention and is important. Unchanging performance is necessary both for individual players and for the team.
Of course, KIA aims to win its second consecutive title and build a dynasty. Kim Do-young also has a big goal. It's 40 home runs and 40 steals. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve 40-40 with two home runs left due to his lack of strength at the end of this season, but he is expected to be able to achieve a milestone. If Kim Do-young achieves the legendary record, which has only appeared once in the history of the KBO League, it should be considered that KIA's chances of winning consecutive games increase.
Kim Do-young, who had an annual salary of 100 million won this year, is trying to earn the highest salary in his fourth year. The highest annual salary in the fourth year so far was KRW 390 million that Lee Jung-hoo received during the Kiwoom Heroes in 2020.
