Kiwoom's Kim Jae-hyun, KT's Kim Hyun-soo, LG's Austin, and KIA's Lee Ho-yeon were selected as the four candidates for the 'Monthly CGV Scene-Stiller Award', jointly established by the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) and CGV.
The 'Monthly CGV Scene-Stiller Award' is presented to one individual who creates movie-like memorable moments on the KBO League field, with all personnel working at baseball stadiums, including player rosters, league officials, cheer squads, and others, eligible for the award.
This season's recipients have included Samsung's Park Seung-kyu, Hanwha's Peraza, KIA's Na Sung-beom, and Lotte's Son Seong-bin.
Kim Jae-hyun of Kiwoom was nominated after leading his team to a comeback victory with a powerful swing in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and bases loaded during a match against KIA at Gocheok on August 23. His home run that day, which brought fans an exciting win, marked his first-ever walk-off home run and the ninth walk-off bases-loaded home run for a comeback in KBO League history.
Kim Hyun-soo of KT was nominated after showing a heartwarming moment on the 25th during a game against Doosan by gently brushing dirt off the face of his former teammate Jung Soobin, who had dirt on her face due to a head-first slide. The two players exchanged smiles even while video review was in progress, warming fans' hearts with their friendly interaction.
Austin of LG received cheers from fans with a triple that laid the groundwork for a comeback victory in extra innings during a game against NC on the 25th. Austin completed his first cycle hit of the year in KBO League with a bold base-running play to third base, and was nominated after making history as the first foreign player for LG Club to achieve a cycle hit.
Lee Ho-yeon of KIA secured his nomination by hitting the second walk-off bases-loaded home run for a comeback in KBO League history as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and bases loaded during a match against Lotte on the 25th. This dramatic bases-loaded home run erased the regret from his team's previous game, where they had lost after a walk-off bases-loaded home run, earning Lee Ho-yeon enthusiastic cheers from fans.
Fan voting to select the winner will be held for four days from 3 p.m. on September 1 until midnight on the 4th via the CGV website and mobile app. The final recipient, determined by 100% of fan votes, will receive a prize of 1 million won along with a CGV CineChef Movie & Dining package.
Videos of the four August candidates for the 'Monthly CGV Scene-Stiller Award' can be viewed on the CGV website, mobile app, and through KBO and CGV's official Instagram accounts.
