Even if Kiwoom Heroes is a one-two punch, they gave up renewing their contract with Heysus. Instead, they reorganized into two batters and one pitcher.
Some cite Kiwoom’s financial difficulties as the reason. The reason is that the new foreign players’ ransom is relatively low. In the case of Ruben Canines, the guaranteed annual salary is only $450,000. Yasiel Puig is also $1 million. 온라인바카라
Did Kiwoom really give up Hurado and Heysus because they didn’t have money?
Unlike other clubs, Kiwoom is a kind of independent club. It is not easy to operate.
But let’s take a closer look.
The corporate name of Kiwoom Heroes is Seoul Heroes.
Through the main sponsorship tie with Kiwoom Securities, they are participating in the KBO under the team name Kiwoom Heroes.
Kiwoom signed a five-year contract worth 55 billion won with Kiwoom Securities for 24 to 28 years.
According to the electronic disclosure, the advertising revenue in 2023 is about 18 billion won, including mainnaming.
Other profits increased by about 23 billion compared to the previous year. It seems to be because of the huge posting fee that Lee Jung-hoo gave.
The stadium revenue is also reported to have increased by about 42%. This is because the number of spectators has increased.
The number of spectators increased in 2024 compared to the previous year.
Therefore, it is estimated that profits in 2024 will exceed 40 billion won, including advertising, spectators, and broadcasting fees.
Kiwoom was found to have spent 30.3 billion won on operating the team in 2023.
In 2024, operating expenses of the team and the club are expected to reach 40 billion won. Surplus is expected following last year. Kim will pay billions of won in posting fees.
Therefore, it is not convincing that Kiwoom gave up Hurado and Heyesus to save only hundreds of millions of won.
But if you really don’t have money, it’s a mystery.
