Kiwoom Heroes' special third baseman Song Sung-moon (29) received compensation. He was definitely treated as a captain by ranking first in annual salary among non-FA salary negotiators in the team.
On the 10th, Kiwoom completed annual salary contracts with all 50 people eligible for annual salary contracts for the 2025 season. Song Sung-moon, who will continue to captain in the 2025 season following last season, signed a contract of 300 million won, an increase of 130.8% from 130 million won last season. This is the highest increase among those eligible for the team's annual salary contract, the release said.
Song had the best season of his life last year. He boasts a stamina that plays in 142 games and has a batting average of 0.340 (179 hits in 527 at-bats), 19 homers, 104 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.927. He ranked at the top of the league in major offensive indicators such as batting average (fifth) and hits (fifth).
Without regular season MVP Kim Do-young (22, KIA Tigers), it is no exaggeration to say that Song Sung-moon was the main character of last year's third baseman Golden Glove. Song Sung-moon and Kim Do-young were called to the '2024 WBSC Premier 12' national team in Taipei, Taiwan, in November last year, creating a synergy effect that led to the attack together.
Song Sung-moon was also honored as the captain of the national team. Although South Korea had a bitter taste of elimination in the first round, Song Sung-moon struggled throughout the tournament to boost the team's spirits and achieve a strong teamwork.
At the time of the competition, Kim Do-young said, "(Song) Sung-moon hyung gathered the players and said a word. Like Shohei Ohtani (31, LA Dodgers). Since we came all the way here. He said coolly that we should regain the Korean baseball powerhouse. So he looked a little different. It was the first company dinner held by all the players (who played the Korean Series), and I think they were a little united in that word. He also expressed his gratitude.

Joo, who played an important role in the bullpen, signed 77 million won, up 140.6 percent, the team's highest increase rate.
