I came too late Ace couldn't laugh → Reconstruction is also down to Kwak Bin
"I came too late."

Doosan Bears 'Ace' was the first word Kwak Bin uttered to his fans. In Kwak's absence, the team fell to ninth place. Former coach Lee Seung-yeop resigned. It is also up to Kwak Bin, who came late, to rebuild the team that has become a wreck.

Kwak Bin started the game against the Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Jamsil Stadium on the 15th and pitched two runs in seven ⅔ innings. Doosan won 3-2 and won two consecutive games. Kwak Bin also reported his first win (1 win and 2 losses) since returning.




Kwak Bin, who was selected as a player of the game, took the podium in front of the stands on the first base. As soon as Kwak Bin grabbed the mic, he said, "I came too late," he said, expressing his sincere greetings.

Kwak Bin injured his inner oblique muscle just before the opening game. Doosan had to completely revise its season plan. Choi Won-joon, who was nominated as a must-win group, returned to the starting lineup, and the mound plan was out of line. To make matters worse, key relievers Hong Gun-hee and Lee Byung-hun were also injured.

While Kwak Bin was away, Doosan crashed endlessly. The batters also fell into a slump. Doosan waited in vain for Kwak Binman. There was still hope that Kwak Bin would be able to fight back if only the starting rotation was restored.




The fate was harsh. Kwak Bin's return to the first team has been decided on June 3. Director Lee Seung-yeop wrote his resignation on June 2, the day before Kwak Bin came.

Kwak Bin couldn't laugh even after becoming a winning pitcher. Kwak Bin "Good job last year. There must have been expectations. The director and the team members must have had a plan in mind, but I was sorry that I broke it before I even started," he bowed his head.

Kwak Bin was also more upset than anyone else. Kwak Bin "I promised myself that I would not get hurt again, but this happened. I had a lot of thoughts for a month. I have to come and do well, but I have to come and not get injured, but that thought continued for a month."

Kwak Bin and Doosan are starting again. Kwak Bin said "I'm still young and I have a lot to learn. It is not a shameful season to experience failure. Our team thinks it's rebuilding season now, but I want to be at the center of it. I want to give fans expectations that they will do better next year"Promising a rebound.

The reason why the rebuilding story comes out is actually because of the beasts.

Doosan's mound is high quality. It became even more so when Kwak Bin came. Kwak Bin and Choi Seung-yong are the starters who are not behind wherever they are in the Jack Log call bin. The same goes for the must-win group, where Choi Ji-gang, Lee Young-ha, and Kim Taek-yeon hold out.

The fielders are Oh Myung-jin, Im Jong-sung, Kim Dong-joon, Park Joon-soon, Kim Joon-sang, Yeo Dong-gun, Kim Min-seok, and Kim Dae-han. If the mound holds firm, inexperienced fielders can play in a more stable environment.

Kwak Bin should now play the role of head of the mound. Kwak Bin should lead the pitching staff so that Doosan can get back up with a heavier responsibility as he came late.
