"I can understand it when other players see it."

On the 21st, KIA lost 1-3 against Suwon KT due to minor mistakes. Outfielder Choi Won-joon, who made a defensive mistake, went down to the second division. On the contrary, Lee Woo-sung, who lost his chance to score by running back, was on the main list the next day. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said, "It is acceptable only if it is a mistake that anyone can understand."

Choi missed an ordinary fly ball. It was directly linked to the loss.

Lee Woo-sung hit a hit and was caught trying to get to second base. It may be pointed out that he was not careful because it was his last chance in the ninth inning.

Coach Lee Bum-ho diagnosed that Choi Won-joon is a concentration problem and Lee Woo-sung is due to his excessive fighting spirit.

Coach Lee Bum-ho said of Choi Won-joon, `I can make mistakes at any time. Still, it should be understandable. It should be understandable to other players and everyone. I wanted to deliver a strong message" he said.

Then "It seems that there are a lot of other thoughts because the attack is so bad. I thought I couldn't concentrate, so I took it out for about 10 days. I thought it would be better if I came up and played again, so I changed it," he said, explaining the reason for sending it to the second team.

Lee Woo-sung appeared as a substitute in the top of the ninth inning with one out and no runners. He hit a deep ball to the left. He went around first base and tried to reach second base. However, KT left fielder Jang Jin-hyuk's throw was so accurate. Lee was caught at second base.

Rather, Lee Woo-sung had a chance to start on the 22nd. He started as the seventh batter and right fielder.

Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `We have to continue to show that the players have this kind of appearance in the future. Even if he gets caught, he expects that the players have to play."

Lee Woo-sung made a critical timely hit on the 22nd amid the trust of head coach Lee Bum-ho. He played one hit and two RBIs in three times at bat, leading the way to an 8-3 victory.
