"It's not like it's torn. But I sewed ten needles, not two."
Kim Sun-bin's fighting spirit saved the KIA Tigers.
KIA won the last game of the three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears 6-2 at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th, achieving two consecutive wins and three consecutive winning series.
Although he did not win, there were many victory players, including Nail, who pitched two runs in five ⅔ innings, Choi Hyung-woo, who hit the final hit, and Park Chan-ho, who drove in four hits, but Kim Sun-bin's performance, including a decisive double, was also not left out.
In particular, Kim Sun-bin showed off his fighting spirit. He returned after a long time after shaking off his calf injury against Doosan on the 18th. He was motivated to sprint with a surprise bunt. However, he collided with the opposing second baseman Park Gye-beom at first base. Park Gye-beom's jaw hit his shoulder, but he couldn't slow down, so he issued a huge impact. At the moment of the accident, everyone was worried that Kim Sun-bin was seriously injured.

However, Kim Sun-bin fortunately had no abnormalities in his jaw and teeth, and underwent surgery to sew the torn part of his mouth. He played an important role by starting the game on the 19th and starting the game on the 20th. Coach Lee Bum-ho originally tried to exclude the game on the 20th, but Kim Sun-bin himself showed his will to play, saying, `I can run.'
Kim Sun-bin, who started as a 2nd-2nd baseman, got on base with consecutive walks in a showdown with opposing starter Jack Rogue, who recorded five scoreless innings. And at the beginning of the seventh inning. He hit a decisive RBI double to ignite the chase in a chance with one out and runners on first and second bases, which was losing 0-2. It hasn't been long since he returned due to a calf injury, and he ran nonstop until second base despite his physical and mental difficulties due to a shocking collision injury. Encouraged by this hit, KIA turned the game around in the seventh inning and took the lead.

Kim Sun-bin, who also expressed his intention to participate on the 19th, the day after his injury, said, "(I don't think) I'm going to fall into the game just to the extent that I'm torn."As soon as I hit it, I checked my teeth first." "I looked at the teeth with my tongue to see if they were okay." he explained the injury situation at the time. He knew that an injury that would cause a tooth to fall out would lead to a major injury. Fortunately, there was no problem. However, Kim Sun-bin's upper lip was still swollen and a red piggyback remained.
Regarding the calf injury, Kim Sun-bin also said, "My legs are fine. Rather, he explained, "My back hurts a lot, maybe because of the aftermath of the previous traffic accident." He complained of back discomfort even when he moved after the actual interview.

When Kim Sun-bin asked the fans and people around him for his last words, rumors spread that he had sewn two needles. But I actually sewed ten needles. My wife also contacted me saying, `Did you sew two needles?' with a smile. This is the wrong information that was delivered when the club first reported Kim Sun-bin's injury. Kim Sun-bin said "I'm glad it didn't interfere with my running."
