While Kim Do-young was away for a while, Noh Si-hwan and Moon Bo-kyung made sure to declare war.

The opening two consecutive games of the 2025 season are over. The joys and sorrows of each team were mixed. It was an opportunity to explore the power prepared for the offseason, and it was two games to check what needs to be supplemented for each team.

The hottest issue was the rise of Kim Do-young, a superstar, MVP, and KIA Tigers. Kim Do-young suffered a left hamstring injury while sprinting after hitting a hit in the opening game against the NC Dinos at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 22nd. A shocking incident that caused static in a packed stadium for an instant. Fortunately, it is not a major injury as a result of the examination, but the timing of return will be weighed through a re-examination in two weeks.

It was even more sad news, as many were expecting how much more great Kim Do-young would perform in the new season. A red flag was also turned on to achieve the record, including joining the targeted 40-homer and 40-homer club.

While Kim Do-young had a break, another native No. 4 hitters properly staged a 'powerless demonstration'. As if to stop Kim Do-young's solo system, he showed a hot bat show as soon as he announced the opening.

The main characters are Roh Si-hwan of Hanwha Eagles and Moon Bo-kyung of LG Twins. The two played four times in two consecutive KT Wiz and Lotte Giants games, respectively, and fired cannons for two consecutive days. KIA Han Jun-su and Samsung Lions Diaz also hit two home runs, but it is true that their eyes are on Noh Si-hwan and Moon Bo-kyung.

Noh Si-hwan was the home run king of the 2023 season. Although he hit 24 home runs last season, he is a star who has grown in presence enough to be evaluated as a `wrecked season' due to the impact of the previous season's home run king. Noh Si-hwan prepared for the season by clenching his teeth, including losing about 10kg ahead of this season. "I want to win back the home run title." had also expressed a determination. And he proved it with the results of two games.

There was also a huge number of newspapers. He won the honor of his first home run in the entire 2025 season. He showed his destructive power to stably cross the fence at Jamsil Stadium. During the last season, he became LG's new No. 4 hitter, and played 144 games, showing a tremendous performance of .31-ri, 22 home runs, and 101 RBIs. If Jamsil had not been a home, 30 home runs would have been possible. With the momentum of last season, it is expected to leap to become a slugger representing the league beyond LG's No. 4 this year.

It's not just the home run that scares the two. Noh Si-hwan also had multi-hitters and timely hits in two consecutive games. Moon Bo-kyung also had two hits and two hits and 50%. That's how fierce the early hitting is. Noh Si-hwan is a player who has already peaked, and Moon Bo-kyung is also fully open to baseball, so it seems highly likely that the rise of the two will continue without breaking down.

Will a native player be able to regain the title of the home run king that was given to Davison (NC) last year. The two offered their business cards as leading candidates from the beginning.
