"Hulk" Kang Dong-gung (SK Rent-a-Car) and "Danggu Empress" Kim Ga-young (Hana Card) became the best stars to shine in the professional danggu PBA this season.
Kang Dong-gung and Kim Ga-young were selected side by side at the PBA Golden Q Awards 2025 held at Grand Walkerhill Vista Hall in Seoul on the 17th by the Professional Baseball Association (PBA, President Youngsoo Kim).
Starting with the opening game of the 2024-25 season (Woori Financial Capital Championship), Kang won the title at the fourth tour (Crown Haitai Championship 2024 Hangawi), and was the runner-up at the fifth tour (Hana Card Championship). Kang had 402,000 points for the season, and won the grand prize with a gap of 24,000 points from David Martinez of Spain with 378,000 points.
Kang stood out in the team league as well. With his unique leadership, he led SK Rent-a-Car to its first win in the league and was also honored with the Grand Prize at the Team League. Besides the Grand Prize, Kang won three gold medals including the Bank Shot Award.
Kang said, "I always feel this, but I know that the grand prize is not for everyone. I really wanted to win the grand prize. In particular, David Martinez (Crown Haitai, Spain) won three championships this year, and I want to say thank you to Martinez for your hard work. It wasn't easy to get here, but I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me."
Kim Ga-young, who won the LPBA Grand Prize last season, also won the grand prize the most at this year's award ceremony. Kim Ga-young, who won the grand prize by winning seven consecutive individual tours, won the Best Abidge Award, the Bank Shot Award, and the Jevisco Prize in a total of four categories.
Kim Ga-young said, "I only played billiards hard, and there are a lot of people behind me who really help me with my mind and work hard to develop billiards. Without them, I would not have been here," adding, "I am a senior as a pocket ball player, but I am still close to a freshman as a three-cushion player. As much as I have received a lot of help, I will become a great senior who thinks about my current juniors and everyone who sees us and dreams of becoming a billiard player."
In addition, Kim Young-won, who won the sixth tour (NH Nonghyup Card PBA Championship) this season at the age of 17 years and 23 days, and Kwon Bal-hae (SY), who finished second in the fifth tour (Huons Championship), won the Young Star Award.
Eddie Refunce of Belgium (SK Rent-a-Car) showed off his presence by winning three awards. Following the grand prize of the team league, he won the best men's doubles award with his teammate Ngodinnai of Vietnam, and also received the best model award. The best female model award went to Kim Sang-ah. 카지노사이트
