The Hanwha Eagles will hold three consecutive weekend games against the KIA Tigers at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju from the 1st. Son Ah-seop, who transferred from NC to Hanwha through a trade on July 31, will join Gwangju on the 1st.
Coincidentally, KIA also made a trade with NC four days ago.
KIA recruited pitcher Kim Si-hoon and infielder Chung Hyeon-chang from NC on July 28. NC brought outfielder Choi Won-joon and Lee Woo-sung and infielder Hong Jong-pyo from KIA.
NC made an additional trade with Hanwha on the 31st, three days later. He sent Son Ah-seop and received 300 million won in cash and the third round of 2026 rookie draft nomination.
Kim Si-hoon Han Jae-seung and Son Ah-seop, who wore the same uniform until just last Monday, are now meeting in different uniforms. Jung Hyun-chang is not registered in the first team.
Just in time, Han Jae-seung took the mound for relief against Doosan in Gwangju on July 31st, and also took the victory for relief. He became the winning pitcher in his first game since moving to KIA. He allowed one run in the first ⅔. He contributed to the 3-2 victory. KIA escaped from seven consecutive losses.
After the game, Han Jae-seung also heard about Son Ah-seop's trade.

Han Jae-seung said "When I was traded, A-seop said a lot of good things. But the senior also came as a trade. I should meet you and talk to you again and say hello"I expected a reunion.
As for his first win speech, "I thought he would block it unconditionally because he was losing consecutive games. Whenever I go up to the mound, I want to throw with courage and guts. I want to make a pitch that the director can trust" he said.
Then "I want to be a player who can contribute a little more to the team's victory." When I got off the bus today, KIA fans cheered tremendously. Thank you so much for calling my name even though I was coming down after the inning. I'll always show you a lot of good pitches so that you can get a lot of names like that."
