Former Nexen/Kiwoom Heroes infielder Kim Hye-seong signed a three year deal with the Dodgers yesterday, a few hours before his posting was going to expire. Kim was drafted out of high school in the first round of the 2017 KBO draft by the then-Nexen Heroes (which I think was held in August of 2016 but I'm not quite sure - I don't really know much about how the KBO draft works). He debuted with the Heroes in June of 2017 and by 2018 was the team's regular second baseman at the age of 19. He switched to shortstop in 2021 and won a Golden Glove award, then switched back to second the following season and won three more Golden Gloves. He also led the KBO in steals in 2021. He's a veteran of the Korean National Team, having played for them in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which were played in 2021), the 2022 Asian games, the 2023 World Baseball Classic and the 2023 Asian Professional Baseball Championship.
Kim's rookie card is #159 (or technically #SCCR-01/159) in the 2018 SCC KBO Collection set. He's appeared pretty regularly in SCC's KBO sets since 2018 - TCDB lists 41 cards for him which includes parallels, autographed, jersey and patch cards. I have eight of his cards, all base set cards from 2021 and earlier as I don't have many KBO cards since 2021:
