Director Lee Kang-chul, who was in pain in Ahn Hyun-min's wrist, wanted to manage it myself.

Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 10th when the game between KT Wiz and Lotte Giants will be held. Ahn Hyun-min was listed as No. 3 and No. 2 right-handed in KT's starting lineup.
He appeared like a comet this season and performed like a storm, but was excluded from the selection against SSG Landers on the 8th. It was because my right wrist was not good. Still, while sluggers Kang Baek-ho and Hwang Jae-kyun were out due to injuries, coach Lee Kang-chul's heart was bound to sink when he thought that Ahn Hyun-min, who hit 10 home runs, was also out.
Ahn Hyun-min's return as a starter means there is no big problem with his wrist. Before the game, he held up the microphone with his right hand, saying he was sick, and gave a brave interview. Director Lee explained "I think the damage has accumulated as I keep using my wrist while hitting."
Ahn Hyun-min is playing a full-time season for the first time since he came to the professional league and is enjoying happy days, receiving a lot of attention. Usually, players don't show even if it's hard or sick at this time. It's because I want to play. Coach Lee said, `I went to Pohang Samsung last month, and it's hard for fielders because it's an artificial turf. Ahead of the last game of the three consecutive games, he seemed to be trying to talk about 'It's hard' That means it's very hard. So even then, I told him to hit the designated hitter without paying attention. "He keeps running as an outfielder. He's running around. It's my first time experiencing it, so I have to take care of my physical strength. You won't talk, so I have to take care of it. That way, I can continue to play for a long time."
Director Lee made a mischievous joke to Ahn Hyun-min, who came into the dugout after the broadcast interview, saying, `If you played at the end of SSG (game on the 8th), wouldn't you be able to continue the winning streak?' Ahn Hyun-min was not intimidated at all and said, `I'll do my best again from today," he retorted vigorously. Director Lee said, `I never imagined it in our time, but these days my friends don't die in front of the director.'
