"Now I'm laughing. It was a time when I felt like I had forgotten the feeling of winning."

He broke the 10-game losing streak and has won three games and lost the last four games. A smile finally came to Song Seong-moon's face.

At the moment of escape from losing consecutive games, in the broadcast interview "I think the fans must have had as much difficult as the players'Captain' who wept without realizing it. He received a lot of sympathy. I want to be congratulated now," he said, holding himself together.




Kiwoom Heroes came from behind to win 9-6 against the Lotte Giants in Busan on the 4th. The previous day, Lotte starter Gamboa was swept by seven scoreless innings and avenged his complete defeat.

At the center of it was Lee Yong-gyu's bitter sound of 'Playing Coach'. Lee Yong-kyu, who debuted in 2004, is continuing his 22nd professional career this year. Accompanying the first team separately from the entry. It is registered as a player when it is in the entry and as a coach when it is not.

Lee Yong-kyu's appearance of convening and catching the fielders drew attention. Kiwoom won against Lotte ace Park Se-woong.

Song Sung-moon is 29 years old this year and has been in his 11th year since debut. Other teams would be middle-class, but their presence in Kiwoom is unique. Except for some seniors such as Choi Joo-hwan, Lee Hyung-jong, and Lee Ji-young, they are definitely senior.

Captain for the second year in a row following last year. Last year, he had a monster season with a batting average of 3419 home runs and 104 RBIs (On base rate + slugging rate) of 0.927 but faced a wall this season. It is still too much time to care about one's grades.

Is Song Sung-moon's name for Lee Yong-kyu a coach, a senior, or an older brother. Song Sung-moon smiled awkwardly, saying, `I still call you senior.'




"There were many difficult games because the pitchers were throwing well, but the fielders were not able to score points. In addition, there were often disappointing scenes after losing concentration in defense. (Lee Yong-gyu) said strongly about that part."

Veteran Lee Hyung-jong, who was put in as a logistical guard and shot a wedge shot, also felt the same way as Song Sung-moon. He "I haven't won in Busan this year. (Choi Jun-yong) is a pitcher with a good fastball, so I went in for a fastball, but the timing was good." Then "I was able to participate thanks to your trust from the coaching team. I will do my best in the role given to me. There are fans who always support us even in difficult situations. I am very sorry and grateful. He stressed.

The weekend series against the Doosan Bears, which won 1-0 for two consecutive days, will inevitably come to mind. Song Sung-moon said, `In order for the team to win, fielders must somehow get on base and score points to help the pitchers. Pitchers are struggling, but fielders have to play in return."

He also showed his consideration for the junior candidate who became a candidate for the title of "Dapaewang". Kim Yoon-ha, who started Kiwoom on the day, pitched hard with three runs in four innings. Although the team avoided defeat by winning a come-from-behind victory, it is ranked first by a wide margin from the second-place teams (6 losses) with nine losses without a win in the 12-game starting lineup this season.

Song Sung-moon said, "(Kim) Yoon-ha will have a hard time last year and this year, but just continuously rotating the rotation will help the team greatly. I hope Younha doesn't feel too heavy. I'm 20 years old now, and I want my team members to know how much they appreciate themselves, rather than having such harsh thoughts," he stressed.
