"I hope the cold winter will go away soon and I will have a warm year-end." (Kim Do-young)
Choi Hyung-woo (41) and Kim Do-young (21) of the Kia Tigers left heartfelt acceptance speeches at the Golden Glove Awards, which will wrap up the year of the KBO League. These are courageous remarks about the political situation that has been in turmoil due to the recent emergency martial law scandal.
KBO held the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Golden Glove Awards at the COEX Auditorium in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 13th. A total of 10 players, including the designated hitter, received gold gloves and were recognized as the best players in each position.
Sports players often leave their feelings at awards ceremonies. Most of them express their gratitude to their teams, colleagues, family members, and fans.
The awards ceremony also drew a lot of attention from Choi Hyung-woo and Kim Do-young.
Choi Hyung-woo, who won the designated hitter category and became the oldest Golden Glove winner of all time, expressed his gratitude and said, "Our country is very hard right now, and baseball fans want the players to be happy when they play."
Kim Do-young, who took the gold gloves in the third baseman category with the highest vote share (97.2%) on the day, also resonated at the end of his acceptance speech, saying, "I hope the cold winter will go soon and we can have a warm end of the year."
Neither was a direct comment, but it was a safe statement to see as an impression of the recent political situation. Depending on the listener, it might have felt sensitive, but he took up bold courage.
Choi Hyung-woo, who met with reporters after the awards ceremony, said, "I wanted to say more if I felt like it, but I restrained myself," adding, "I thought about it a lot and talked about it in an appropriate way."
He added, "It meant to cheer up through baseball because our country is having a hard time now."
Kim Do-young, a third-year veteran, declined to comment on related questions.
"It depends on your understanding," Kim said. "It's just a cold day. I was just saying that. I hope we have a warm next year."
