Kim Do-young, who left with his face covered, even closed his personal SNS



Shocking injury to everyone. It was also a frustrating night for Kim Do-young of the KIA Tigers, who was injured again a month after returning.

Kim Do-young got hurt again. Kim Do-young started the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 27th, but was injured in the bottom of the fifth inning.

After hitting a timely hit, he succeeded in stealing second base, and immediately after the success, he caught the back of his right thigh. The trainer checked the condition straight away, but Kim Do-young couldn't run more. In the end, he was replaced by a pinch runner and finished playing.




I already had a foreboding feeling. Kim Do-young also sprinted to first base in the regular season opener against the NC Dinos on March 22, his first injury of the season, and caught a hamstring behind his left thigh while looking at the situation of the base and returning home. And he was diagnosed with partial damage at grade 1, and he had returned after about a month of rehabilitation and exercise.

This time, to the right. It was the opposite of the last injury, but I could expect some seriousness because I already had one experience.

More than anyone else, Kim Do-young himself must have felt it. Kim Do-young, who finishes playing in the game by replacing the runner and enters the bench, covered his face with a helmet and couldn't even look at the stands. It must have been difficult to see the faces of many fans, coaching staff and colleagues who always support them with high expectations.




And a bad hunch is not wrong. Immediately after an MRI examination at a club-designated hospital, a diagnosis showed damage to the right hamstring. He will undergo additional examinations, but considering the injury situation and the pain felt by the player, the damage itself is real and the exact degree of damage is now expected to be important.

As a KBO League player 'Star' and a young player in his 20s, Kim Do-young has been communicating with fans through his personal SNS account. Even if it is not a direct conversation, he has used it as a communication channel while uploading his photos and videos. During the previous hamstring injury, he also disclosed his feelings and rehabilitation process immediately after the injury through SNS.

However, Kim Do-young virtually closed the door by deactivating his personal SNS account after the hospital examination. This is the point where you can see how much frustration you felt.
