It was an unprofessional error that he could not understand. Lotte Giants center fielder Hwang Sung-bin was replaced after missing a normal fly ball, venting his anger on the air conditioner.
Lotte won the KIA Tigers 7-4 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 25th, but one player could not laugh. Hwang Sung-bin was replaced by an error that almost made a mistake.
The situation took place in the top of the seventh inning when Lotte led 5-3. Choi Jun-yong took the mound in the seventh inning following starter Davison and must-win group Jung Cheol-won.
Choi Joon-yong, who caught KIA's Kim Sun-bin as a pinch hitter, seemed to treat even Park Chan-ho with an ordinary fly ball to center field. However, as soon as Hwang Sung-bin, who followed the ball well, stretched out his arm, the ball bounced off the top of the glove.

Cheers erupted from KIA's cheering section on the third base, and Lotte fans who filled the rest of the area lamented. Park Chan-ho advanced to second base, and the two-point lead was in jeopardy.

It was a defense that made everyone ridiculous, but he was more embarrassed and angry than anyone else. Hwang Sung-bin, who took off his hat and covered his face, came in replaced and covered his face with a glove. He must have felt like going into a mouse hole.

Hwang Sung-bin, who entered the dugout, couldn't hold back his anger toward himself. He expressed his emotions by throwing a strong punch into the nose of the elephant air conditioner.
After Hwang Sung-bin's error, the game was in crisis. Oh Sun-woo's ball led to an infield hit that deflected off Choi Jun-yong's glove, making it 1st and 3rd base with 1 out. He then walked Wisdom and was on the verge of loading the bases with one out.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung immediately put Hong Min-ki in. The head coach's quick replacement of pitchers and the left-hander fireballer who responded saved Hwang Sung-bin. Hong Min-ki gave up an RBI sacrifice fly to KIA veteran Choi Hyung-woo, but he struck out Na Sung-bum in standing and prevented the bases-loaded crisis with only one run.
Lotte sealed the game with Han Tae-yang's two-run timely hit in the bottom of the seventh inning. Hong Min-ki, who also took the mound in the eighth inning, blocked KIA's pursuit with no runs, and in the ninth inning, closer Kim Won-joong handled the three batters neatly with a mistake to keep the victory.
Thanks to the performance of his teammates, Hwang Sung-bin was able to give a victory high-five with head coach Kim Tae-hyung. Now it's Hwang Sung-bin's turn to pay off his debt.
