Ahead of his first game in a month, Kim Do-young started with indoor training.

There were changes in Kim Do-young's appearance after the injury in the opening game, including taping on his left hamstring and a motto inscribed on his wrist.

However, Kim Do-young's skills remained just as we know them.

In the Futures League against Samsung, where several times more fans than usual gathered, he batted third and hit a double against Song Eun-beom, bringing in a run.

Kim Do-young, who had been expressionless throughout, finally smiled.

After successfully handling third base defense, he was substituted after the third inning.

Kim Do-young, who had been more frustrated than anyone due to the unexpected injury and KIA's early struggles, seemed lighter on his feet.

Among the fans who formed a line of nearly 200 meters, a young fan who successfully got an autograph cheered for Kim Do-young enthusiastically.

Kim Do-young plans to raise his senses with one more live batting session and is expected to make his return in a three-game series against LG as early as this weekend.
