On the 2nd at 6:30 p.m., ahead of a home game against the LG Twins at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome, the Kiwoom Heroes held the first-half 'Kiwoom Securities Home Run Zone' awards ceremony.

Ahead of this season, the Kiwoom Heroes, together with their main sponsor Kiwoom Securities, established the 'Kiwoom Securities Home Run Zone' on both the left and right sides of the outfield at Gocheok Dome. Kiwoom players who hit a home run into that area will receive a prize of 1 million won per home run.

At the same time, a separate fund of 5 million won is accumulated for each home run. The accumulated funds are planned to be used for future youth baseball development support projects. Since the season opener in June, 11 batters including Ahn Chi-hong, Kim Geon-hee, and Choi Ju-hwan have hit a total of 14 home runs into the Home Run Zone, resulting in the creation of a total of 70 million won for youth baseball development so far.

At the awards ceremony held on this day, Seong Hye-jeong, director of Kiwoom Securities, attended and presented the prize to Ahn Chi-hong, who served as the representative recipient. Seon Su-dan (CEO), who received the award, said, "It is an honor to receive the award as a representative," and added, "It is even more meaningful that I can contribute to the team's victory with a home run while also participating in a good cause such as youth baseball development. I will show my best performance for the rest of the season."
