The sluggishness of the players who stepped up together and the repeated injury marches. The Lotte Giants are in third place by breaking through bad news.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung melted a lot of meaning into the words `I was lucky.'
Lotte will have as many as six players in the All-Star Game. In particular, it is also meaningful that Jeon Min-jae, Ko Seung-min, and Lotte Keystone duo have come forward as they are.

Jeon Min-jae is Min-jae, whom head coach Kim Tae-hyung has watched since Doosan's days. However, I didn't think he would develop into such an active player in offense and defense. He said "If you do well, you're the best, and of course the team is good" and "I didn't think he would do this much. You did a great job", he complimented. He then rejoiced, saying, "The players recommended by the coach are a little different, and it's a really good experience to be selected as a fan vote and go out as a best member."
Despite the twists, Ko Seung-min, Reyes, and Jeon Jun-woo are showing steady performances. Veteran players such as Kim Min-sung and Jung-hoon were absent from the fielders, and Park Se-woong's slump was deep among pitchers, but instead appeared 'Shin Sung' Hong Min-ki. Yoon Sung-bin, who was said to be a failed prospect, is also stepping up step by step.

"Hong Min-ki's fastball hits him from the side, so the tailing at the end of the ball eats like a cut fastball. It's bending hard. It's going to be especially hard for left-handed hitters."
As for whether Hong Min-ki will be used in the future, it is good to establish himself as a starter. But it's still hard to trust more than 50 pitches"I'm going to prepare the starter after the season. Of course, Hong Min-ki could start when someone is lacking during the season," he reiterated.
"If you get a fastball from the bullpen, you can overwhelm your opponent. Yoon Sung-bin will gradually adjust to the first team, and there will be a time when something will come. Hang in there a little longer before the break, and we're a team that can go up at any time."
