Kiwoom Heroes Lee Ju-hyung hit a home run for two consecutive games.
Lee Ju-hyung started as the third batter and center fielder against the LG Twins in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 6th. He hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 0-1. Kiwoom won 2-1 thanks to Song Sung-moon's walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. It won three games in a row.
Lee Ju-hyung stepped up as a troubleshooter in the bottom of the eighth inning, when he was trailing 0-1. In the bottom of the eighth inning, LG put down Chirinos and put in setup man Kim Jin-sung. Lee Joo-hyung hit the first pitch of Kim Joo-hyung 'Changed Pitcher' and crossed the right fence. LG's lead, which lasted nearly two and a half hours, disappeared like a mirage. Lee Joo-hyung kicked up a 141km fastball that was low on the body. It was a 120-meter-long arch. Season seven.
After the game, Lee Ju-hyung "I tended to look at the ball too carefully at bat recently. At bat in the eighth inning, hitting coach Oh Yoon said let's do it boldly. I was happy to make a valuable 1 point at an important time. The situation of giving up one point due to a defensive error was on my mind, but I kept thinking that I wanted to tie it somehow. I was even more happy to do it on my own."
Lee Ju-hyung provided an excuse for a run due to a defensive mistake in the top of the fourth inning. He tried to catch a single-hit ball with a diving catch and dropped it back. A triple led to a run. It wasn't recorded as an error, but it was a miss play.

Lee Ju-hyung said, `The team atmosphere is much better than personal conditions. Above all, I am grateful that pitchers always lead the game to a close game. I think I can continue to play well thanks to the pitching staff who hold out well even in difficult situations. We will do our best to produce better results in the future."
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki also praised Lee Ju-hyung. Manager Hong Won-ki said, `Lee Joo-hyung's tie-breaking home run served as an opportunity for the team to unite without giving up until the end, and Song Sung-moon's come-from-behind home run enabled us to win a valuable victory," he said, expressing satisfaction.
