Yang Eui-ji couldn't laugh.

Yang Eui-ji, the homeowner of the Doosan Bears, exploded a home run for the season. However, Yang Eui-ji bowed his head, saying he needed more mourning period in connection with the recent baseball fan death.

Yang Eui-ji started as the fifth batter and catcher against the Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO League in the 2025 season held in Jamsil on the 3rd. Yang Eui-ji hit a three-run home run against Kiwoom starter Rosenberg in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. Season one. Doosan won 6-1 to achieve its first consecutive win and first winning series of the season.




Yang Eui-ji could have been relieved, but he responded to the training player interview with a completely firm expression.

Yang Eui-ji said "It's where I've been for four years. NC fan had a sad accident. I felt heavy and honestly, I had a lot of thoughts about whether I should play."

KBO canceled the game a day before on the 2nd. Only Changwon has canceled all three consecutive games. The league resumed on the 3rd at the remaining four stadiums.




Yang Eui-ji said "It's too bad that fans have to watch it safely and happily when they come to the ballpark. I am heartbroken. Since I was in NC again, the NC fan had such an accident, so I felt sad since Sunday."

Yang Eui-ji said he asked KBO for a three-day mourning period at the level of the players' association.

Yang Eui-ji said "It's a terrible thing for me as a father and as a head of the family. I wanted to have a mourning period of about 3 days, but it was a little weird. The players also talked about that a lot. The players of the 10 teams are really heartbroken together."




Then he notified " (KBO). They say they always communicate, but there was nothing like that. There may be KBO positions, but there are also players' minds. I want KBO to communicate more", he pointed out the disappointing aspect.

Yang Eui-ji confessed that it was difficult to concentrate on the game.

Yang Eui-ji "Isn't it a little heavy right now?" Something happened that really shouldn't have happened. Anyone can be exposed to such a dangerous situation. Everyone likes baseball, so I think they feel the same way. All of the players wished to have a mourning period of three days."
