In 2024, his third year as a pro, he garnered attention by sweeping various records, including the KBO League's first monthly 10-10 club, the youngest and fastest 30-30 club, the youngest 100-100 club, and a new single-season record for most runs scored. In the same year, he won a Golden Glove and became the youngest KBO MVP in history for a position player. In the 2025 season, he suffered three hamstring injuries, alternating between left, right, and left again, ultimately leading to him being sidelined for the season. He only managed to play 30 games that season. In his debut year, 2022, he hit 3 home runs, followed by 7 in the 2023 season, 38 in the 2024 season, and 7 in the 2025 season.
