Can you overcome Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants) in the world, but not Ha Jae-hoon (35, SSG Landers)?
Kia Tigers' flagship star Kim Do-young's salary in the 2025 season is drawing keen attention from the world. In his third year in the 2024 season, he was paid 100 million won (approx.

It is expected to easily exceed KRW 390 million for Lee Jung-hoo, who holds the highest annual salary in his fourth year. The curiosity begins here. Then, to what extent will Kim Do-young's annual salary rise? To be more precise, I wonder if it will surpass KRW 500 million.
Kia also does not deny that Kim Do-young's salary will increase significantly. Therefore, it was excluded as the last negotiator among negotiators for a single-year contract. However, it is difficult to elaborate. The club's unique salary calculation system and operating system are confidential to the outside world.
This reminds me of player Lee. This is Ha Jae-hoon, who boasts the highest annual salary increase ever in the KBO. Ha received a minimum of 27 million won (27,500 U.S. dollars) in the 2019 season. However, he garnered five wins, three losses, 36 saves and three holds with an ERA of 1.98 in 61 games in the 2019 season, and SSG shot him hard when he became the "save king." The team gave him 150 million won (120,530 dollars) in salary, up a whopping 455.6 percent from the 2019 season.
This is the highest annual salary increase ever that is still unbreakable. If this is substituted for Kim Do-young, this year's annual salary will be 555.6 million won. If this becomes a reality, Kim Do-young will immediately surpass the highest annual salary of 550 million won in the fifth year held by Lee Jung-hoo and Kang Baek-ho (KT Wiz).
The industry believes that it is not easy for Kim Do-young to overcome the 550 million won wall. This is because it is so different from Ha Jae-hoon's salary setting and negotiation five years ago. There was no competitive equilibrium then. It exists now. The competitive equilibrium for the 2025 season is KRW 13.71 billion, up 20% from last year.
However, as KIA has won the combined title in the 2024 season, there are many players who need to raise its salary. It is true that Kim Do-young has displayed unrivaled performance, but it should be seen that it is difficult to give excessive salary to Kim. Moreover, up to six players, including Yang Hyeon-jong, Jo Sang-woo, Park Chan-ho, Choi Won-joon, Han Seung-taek and Lee Joon-young, will be eligible as free agents at the end of this season. It is inevitable that any team will be given a certain amount of FA premium in salary negotiations. As a team, assuming that the situation is the worst in a year, it can be a little generous.
As such, the environment of the league and KIA surrounding Kim Do-young are complicated. It is possible to infer that Kim Do-young may surpass Lee Jung-hoo, a major leaguer, but he may not surpass the save king in 2020. Realistically, if it surpasses 500 million won, it should be considered a huge hit.
For his information, Ha wandered off after posting the highest annual salary increase ever in the KBO. Due to his injury, he gave up the pitcher and turned into a batter. It was relatively easy for a batter. The annual salary for the 2024 season was 100 million won.
