Kim Hye-seong had a meeting with general manager Ko Hyeong-wook on the morning of the 16th and officially conveyed her intention to advance to the major leagues, and the Kiwoom club decided to respect the player's will and will through internal discussions. If Kim Hye-seong successfully completes the 2024 season, she will qualify for the posting system (private competitive bidding). Unlike the ‘complete FA’ system, the posting system requires permission from the original club. Kiwoom previously approved Lee Jeong-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants)’s intention to advance to the major leagues before the 2023 season. After the season, Lee Jeong-hoo signed a large six-year contract worth $113 million (about 150.4 billion won) and left a transfer fee of $18.825 million (about 25.05 billion won) to his former team Kiwoom. Kim Hye-seong followed in the footsteps of her best friend Lee Jeong-hoo and declared her attempt at the major leagues. Kim Hye-seong said, “The challenge of appearing on a big stage itself is meaningful to me,” and added, “As much as the team supports me, I want to prepare hard for the remaining period and achieve good results. “I will do my best in everything as I always do,” she expressed her determination. Meanwhile, Kim Hye-seong will also wear the team's captain's armband for the 2024 season. This is in accordance with the request of Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki. Coach Hong explained, “We entrusted Kim Hye-seong with important responsibility considering that she not only has the leadership and leadership skills to lead young players, but also has experience serving as captain in various international competitions.” Kim Hye-seong was appointed as the youngest captain in KBO League history through a player vote during the 2021 season. Afterwards, he served as captain and led the national team in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and the 2023 Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC). Hye-seong Kim said, “I feel a sense of responsibility as I have taken on an important role in the team. “I’m trying to get a lot of help as there are good seniors on the team,” he said. “I’m older and the team composition has changed a lot since the 2021 season, when I first served as captain. “He has the same attitude, but I think he needs to do a little better.”.
