LG Twins' Kim Hyun-soo, who won the MVP of the Korean Series, will also receive a Rolex watch like Oh Ji-hwan two years ago.

LG's Korean Series MVP now seems to have his Rolex watch fixed due to injury.

Two years ago, in 2023, when LG won the Korean Series for the first time in 29 years, many were interested in who would win the MVP. When he won his second championship in 1994, Koo Bon-moo bought a Rolex watch to give it to the next Korean Series MVP. The Rolex watch met its owner for the first time in 29 years.




And Oh Ji-hwan, who led the team to victory by hitting a dramatic come-from-behind three-run shot in the top of the ninth inning of Game 3, became the MVP and became the main character of the Rolex watch.

Oh donated the Rolex watch to the group, and instead received the latest Rolex watch.

And as LG won the regular league title this season and there was a possibility of winning the Korean Series, I wondered if the MVP of the Korean Series would receive the Rolex watch again this time.




Oh Ji-hwan said, "I want to win the MVP again this time and receive another Rolex watch."I'm determined. This time again, he was told that the Rolex watch was given as an injury to the MVP player.

Only Kim Hyun-soo and Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won were considered MVP candidates until Game 4 of the Korean Series.

It was Kim Hyun-soo who hit a come-from-behind hit when he won a miracle victory in the top of the ninth inning, and Park Dong-won led the victory by hitting a two-run double and a wedge two-run shot to break down Hanwha starter Ryu Hyun-jin in Game 2, and in Game 4, he hit a chase two-run shot from Kim Seo-hyun in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 1-4. Moon Bo-kyung had 10 hits and eight RBIs from Game 1 to Game 4.

In Game 5, Kim Hyun-soo beat his rivals. He led by hitting a first RBI single in the top of the first inning, and virtually confirmed the MVP by hitting another RBI single leading in the top of the sixth inning with a 2-1 lead.

Moon Bo-kyung, who had been playing well, drew three walks without a hit on the day, and Park Dong-won was silent with no hit and scored as if he was pushing Kim Hyun-soo.

LG won 4-1 and finished the Korean Series with 4 wins and 1 loss in Game 5. And as expected, the MVP was Kim Hyun-soo. In the press corps vote, 61 out of 89 votes were won, with a landslide of 68.5%. Tolhurst, who became a winning pitcher in both Game 1 and Game 5, got 14 votes, Park Dong-won got 10 votes, and Moon Bo-kyung and Shin Min-jae got two votes each.

In January last year, KBO allowed each club to submit a plan for the MVP award and reward of the Korean Series before the opening of the regular season, and to pay as planned only if it was approved. In other words, the KBO should have approved LG's plan to give the Korean Series MVP a Rolex watch as an injury before this season. And LG reportedly received approval from the KBO before the season. In other words, Kim Hyun-soo has no restrictions on receiving the Rolex watch.

LG will reportedly give Kim Hyun-soo a Rolex watch worth around 100 million won, which is similar to what it gave Oh Ji-hwan two years ago.

Kim Hyun-soo, who signed a 4+2 year contract but failed to win a plus-2 year contract because he failed to meet the option, will receive a Rolex watch again, so will he be able to go to another team.
