After the end of the eighth inning, catcher Choi Jae-hoon pointed out Moon Dong-ju's disappointing pitch. If he hadn't just given up a walk to KT's leadoff hitter Yoo Jun-kyu in the top of the eighth inning, Moon Dong-ju would have been able to shut out. When the leadoff hitter was walked, the number of pitches increased afterwards, forcing him to miss both shutouts and complete throws.

When asked about what helped him win in the victory interview after the game, he gave the fans the joy of victory, saying, `Thanks to Hanwha baseball fans among the packed spectators who sold out at Daejeon Ball Park.'
