KIA registered outfielder Choi Won-joon and catcher Kim Ho-ryeong in the first division entry prior to the game against the Lotte Giants in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 15th. Catcher Han Seung-taek and outfielder Jung Hae-won and Park Jae-hyun were notified of their second leg.
Choi Won-joon and Kim Ho-ryeong were immediately listed in the starting lineup. Choi Won-joon is the ninth batter and right fielder, and Kim Ho-ryeong is the eighth batter and center fielder.
KIA made the starting lineup with Park Chan-ho (st baseman), Oh Sun-woo (first baseman), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Lee Woo-sung (left fielder), Han Jun-su (catcher), Kim Ho-ryeong (middle fielder), and Choi Won-jun (right fielder). The starting pitcher is Adam Oler.
Both mood change and power enhancement intentions are read. As of the 15th, KIA has recorded 18 wins and 22 losses in the season and remains tied for 8th with the Doosan Bears. Amid a series of injury gaps among the main players, the evaluation of the first round is hovering at the bottom. However, it is too early to give up as the mid-range battle is so fierce that it is only one game away from the fifth-place Samsung Lions. KIA gave more time to reorganize in the second division as it fully confirmed the possibility of young fielders Jung Hae-won and Park Jae-hyun, and called back the existing main force before being further pushed out of the competition for the ranking.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho had to post "(Choi) Won-jun or (Kim) Tae-gun. I thought (Kim)Horyeong should also reinforce a little more in terms of defense. He is also a friend with a lot of experience in order to make the least number of runs because he plays a game that does not score points in hitting. Ten days have passed, so he'll come up and be nice to you. Young players will definitely have a chance if they go to the Futures League and prepare well. He explained, "We put up existing players and sent young players."
KIA remains in eighth place in the league with a team batting average of 0.240. Kang Ha-sun, who ranked first in the team's batting average last year, is not playing well this year. KIA was also completely defeated 0-4 in the match against Lotte in Gwangju on the 14th.

Kim Ho-ryeong has defense capability to solve KIA's center field concerns. Park Jung-woo and Park Jae-hyun have recently been entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but it is true that they are still less stable.
Kim Tae-gun, who left the hospital due to the flu, is now fully recovered. Kim Tae-gun waits on the bench first and prepares to work with foreign ace James Nail.
Director Lee plans to throw (Kim) Tae-gun when the nail throws. On Tuesday (15th), Oler had good pitching when playing with (Han) Junsu in many cases. (Lotte's starting pitcher) Na Kyun-an is also a player who has some weaknesses in left-handed batters, rather than right-handed ones. Junsu is not hitting, but his batting ability is good enough. He said, "He's a player who can make three to four hits one day, so I expect a good hit."
