Kiwoom Heroes infielder Kwon Hyuk-bin (21) received a special gift of a coffee car from a fan expressing deep affection.

Ahead of the home game against Samsung Lions on the 22nd, a coffee car featuring Kwon Hyuk-bin's photo and warm supportive messages appeared at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome. According to the Kiwoom organization, this coffee car was personally prepared by a fan to support Kwon Hyuk-bin, who has been performing exceptionally well recently. The team roster, along with all club staff and employees, were provided with refreshing beverages.

Kwon Hyuk-bin, who has showcased sharp hitting with a .400 batting average (6 hits in 15 at-bats) since the second half of the season, experienced the joy of receiving a coffee car gift from fans for the first time since his debut.

Upon receiving the coffee car, Kwon Hyuk-bin said, "This is the first time in my career that I've received a coffee car gift. I heard about it a week ago, and everything still feels new to me; I can only feel unworthy." He struggled to hide his emotion. He continued, "I thought coffee cars were only sent to famous players like Senior An Chi-hong, but seeing one with my name and photo on it brings back many memories. I will not forget today and will strive even harder," he pledged.

The fan who gifted the coffee car for the player conveyed a message of support anonymously through the Kiwoom organization. The fan expressed affection by saying via the club, "I feel thrilled watching Kwon Hyuk-bin join Kiwoom, make it to the first division, and display such wonderful performances on the field. With this supportive heart, I prepared this coffee car."

He added, "Although this coffee car is for Kwon Hyuk-bin, I hope all Heroes players can enjoy refreshing drinks in the hot weather, stay motivated, and deliver strong performances. As we enter the second half of the season, I wish the Heroes would rise even higher."

Kiwoom manager Seol Jong-jin (53) also commented on Kwon Hyuk-bin's powerful hitting since the second half: "We will continue to give him consistent opportunities. In the first half, he struggled with high balls, but he has improved in the second half. It seems he is responding well to coaching from the batting coaches. He may get tired at times, but we plan to keep giving him game time."

With morale boosted by fans' enthusiastic support and his first-ever coffee car gift, attention turns to whether Kwon Hyuk-bin can serve as a catalyst for Kiwoom Heroes' upward momentum in the second half.
