Doosan Bears' goal for the 2025 season was 'to advance to the Korean Series'. However, several injuries and sluggish bad news overlapped right before the opening. Doosan drifted from the bottom. In the end, coach Lee Seung-yeop voluntarily resigned after 58 games.

Doosan started the game against the KIA Tigers in the 2025 KBO League at Jamsil on the 3rd and began the system of 'Acting Manager Cho Sung-hwan'. Doosan is ninth with 23 wins, 3 draws and 32 losses. It is 6.5 games apart from the fifth place (KT Wiz) in the postseason Maginot Line. It is 9.5 games away from the second place (Hanwha Eagles) that can go straight to the playoffs. Is Doosan's goal still valid.

Acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan responded to this question, `It's difficult to say whether we can go to the Korean Series at this point in a cool way. What I can tell you now is that I want to remind the players how precious this opportunity is."




Rather than saying your grades right away, it's important to play your best. On this day, Doosan canceled Yang Seok-hwan, Kang Seung-ho, a built-in first-team fielder. He brought up a number of promising players in the second division. Unfamiliar names such as Kim Min-hyuk, Kim Dong-joon, and Lee Sun-woo stood out.

Acting President Cho Sung-hwan said "There was something I couldn't say because I talked rambling during the team meeting. I like to say that if a player doesn't give up, fans don't give up either. There was a sense of crisis that fans could give up soon. We asked the players to be a little more sincere at the ballpark."

The background of excluding the main players from the first team is in the same context. Acting Cho Sung-hwan "I suggested. I adjusted the entry because I thought I should be a little more responsible as a main player. If the players are ready, they will play here again. I'll decide after I check it with my own eyes or listen to the report"I threw a powerful message.
