The first winner of KBO's newly established Coach Award was Yeom Kyung-yeop, who led LG and Twins to the championship again in two years.

Yeom received 71 out of 125 valid votes in the press corps vote, ranking first with 57 percent of the vote. Kim Kyung-moon, who led the lower-ranked Hanwha team to second place, received 32 votes (26%), Lee Ho-joon, a novice coach who made NC, a low-ranked candidate, ranked fifth, Lee Sung-yong, who made SSG third, received five votes, and Kim Tae-hyung and Lee Bum-ho received one vote each.

Coach Yeom took the helm of LG in 2023 and led the team to the first regular league and Korean Series championship in 29 years, and also achieved an integrated championship this season. Coach Yeom, who has won the championship twice in three years, renewed his contract for a total of 3 billion won for three years after the Korean Series, opening the era of 3 billion won for the first time as a coach in history.




After receiving the award from KBO President Koo Hu-yeon, Yeom thanked Koo Kwang-mo and acting team owner Koo Kwang-mo for choosing to be the LG Twins manager for the first time. I would also like to thank President Kim In-seok, General Manager Cha Myung-seok, and the front desk of the management team for allowing me to do so according to my belief, even though I had a lot of difficulties during the season." He also said, `I think I won the combined championship because of the coaching staff who were struggling together and the players who played their best in each game, and I think I got this award because of that.'

"I'm grateful to my wife for supporting me to play baseball for 31 years and allowing me to play baseball with faith in good times and difficult times even though I haven't been able to thank my family for this," Yeom said. "I'll try to become a leader of the team that grows one step further with the players and the coaching staff so that I don't end up with a prize."
