"I'll run hard using the meaning of my first win."

NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon made his debut win in two games. NC secured its first win of the season by winning 5-4 in the second game of the season against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 23rd. Coach Lee Ho-joon was also given an official debut victory. He joined the new NC Dinos as the first FA recruiter after passing through the Haitai Tigers-SK Wyverns, and was loved by fans as the leader of the team. He began his leadership career after retirement and was appointed as NC's new coach after the 2024 season.

From the closing camp right after his appointment to this year's spring camp and exhibition games. I prepared a lot by working with the coaching staff, but the opening game was a bit painful. NC suffered a come-from-behind loss of 2-9 in the regular season opener against KIA on the 22nd, a day earlier.

But in one day, he succeeded in avenging himself. Batters showed their concentration from the beginning and scored four runs against opposing starting pitcher Yang Hyun-jong, and starter Riley Thompson also pitched well with three runs (two earned) in five ⅓ innings in his KBO League debut. It was also impressive that Kim Min-kyu, Kim Tae-hyun, Son Joo-hwan, and Jeon Sa-min, who took the mound afterwards, played a scoreless relay. NC, which won the final score 5-4, was able to give coach Lee Ho-joon his first win since his debut. Coach Lee received a victory memorial from captain Park Min-woo after the game, and received a congratulatory bouquet of flowers and water baptism from the players at the same time. Not a few NC away fans drew attention to the away cheering seats at Champions Field's first base. Coach Lee Ho-joon also thanked NC fans.

After the game, coach Lee Ho-joon said, `Today's game was run as planned and won. "I feel the best because it was a victory due to planned management through coaching staff meetings. "The pitchers gained a lot as they overcame difficult situations with confidence. All the pitchers who took the mound today did their part"I complimented the players.

Manager Lee then emphasized that "Our first win of the 2025 season rather than my first win" and added, "I will run vigorously in the 2025 season using the meaning of my first win." I want to say thank you to the fans who came all the way to support me"I said hello.
