KT won the exhibition game against the LG Twins at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 8th with a stable ear throw by Ko Young-pyo and Cho Hyung-joon and a home run by Jang Sung-woo.
Both KT and LG made the best lineup.
KT consisted of Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Rohas (right fielder), Heo Kyung-min (third baseman), Jang Seong-woo (catcher), Moon Sang-cheol (first baseman), Kim Min-hyuk (left fielder), Hwang Jae-gyun (second baseman), Bae Jung-dae (middle fielder), and Kim Sang-soo (striker). Kang Baek-ho and Rohas' table setters, which have been used since the Okinawa practice game, were also put in the exhibition game. LG played Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Lee Young-bin (left wing) and Shin Min-jae (second baseman). For LG, Lee Young-bin will participate in Moon Sung-joo's position because Moon Sung-joo's waist is not complete yet. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `I think I will be able to play from next week's SSG match.'
Starting Ko Young-pyo and Cho Hyung-joon were good.
Ko Young-pyo allowed four hits, one walk, four strikeouts, and one run (non-earned) in four innings, while So Hyung-joon allowed three hits, one walk, and five runs in three innings
He allowed no strikeouts. Both proved to be pitchers with a lot of experience in big games, showing their excellent crisis management ability not to lose points even in crisis.

In the top of the first inning, LG scored a pleasant first point. After one out, KT second baseman Hwang Jae-kyun failed to catch Park Hae-min's front grounder to second base because he couldn't hit the bound properly, so the ball bounced to the side and Park Hae-min ran to second base in the meantime. Later, Austin's left-handed hit was followed by Moon Bo-kyung's right-handed hit, and Park Hae-min homered, leading to a chance of 1-0. 1 out and 1st and 2nd base, but it was a pity that Kim Hyun-soo stepped down with a fly to right field, and Oh Ji-hwan struck out.
In the top of the third inning, LG got an opportunity to score additional points with no outs and runners on the first and second bases with a left-handed hit by leader Hong Chang-ki and a ball hit by Park Hae-min, but Austin's right-field fly, Moon Bo-kyung's strikeout, and Kim Hyun-soo's left-field fly prevented the center hitter from scoring.
KT's batters were blocked by Chirinos. Until the third inning, Huh Kyung-min hit only one hit in the first inning and had seven ground balls. Chirinos' fighting spirit is so powerful.
However, in the fourth inning, KT batters hit the ball properly, as if Chirinos' ball power had fallen, and long balls came out. Leading Rojas hit a double over the height of the left field, and Huh Kyung-min also hit a hit to the right, and second baseman Shin Min-jae caught up to the end and threw it to first base to get out. 1 out and 3rd base. Jang Sung-woo hit a 149km fastball that flew high for the fifth time in 1B2S, which became a come-from-behind two-run shot over the left fence. 2-1.
Moon Sang-chul then drew a walk and created a new chance after a close game going up to eight pitches, and Chirinos, who had 61 pitches, was replaced. Jung Woo-young then took the mound, but his control was not done at all. Moon Sang-chul homered with a walk and two wild pitches to lead 3-1.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, KT made a four-point lead of 5-1 by hitting a wedge two-run shot from LG Kim Dae-hyun over the left fence with two outs and third base.
In the eighth inning, the two teams' first-round rookie pitchers faced off. KT's first round Kim Dong-hyun took the mound in the top of the eighth inning, striking out one and striking out one, and LG's first round Kim Young-woo took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, striking out one and striking out one, giving fans a fresh reporting ceremony.
