After the game, Lee Won-seok came to the batter's box with the thought that he had to finish it unconditionally. I didn't have any other thoughts"It's a pitcher who throws a lot of sliders, so I looked high and went in. Thanks to that, I don't think the bat came out well.'
a situation in which a series of wild pitches tied the game. Lee Won-seok was standing at the second base when he saw a grip. "I saw a slider grip, and (i) Do-yoon swung on the slider and thought that he could drop it again, so it took a start."
He was preparing extraordinary by going out as a pinch runner and a logistical expense. Lee Won-seok said, "I'm going in looking at my pitching habits before the game"At first, the coach recommended it, so I watched it after receiving a video of a bullpen pitcher before the game. I usually go out in the second half, so it definitely helps to watch bullpen pitcher habits before going to bed or go to work."
As for defense, "The defense took a short stride, but this year, it was a little bigger, so my vision was less shaky and I felt comfortable following it." Thanks to you, I think I'm getting better at defense" he said.

In addition, he said "I want the coach to play every game and perform better, but it's not as easy as I want. Still, if I work hard silently, I think another good day will come."
As he was reborn as the main player, Lee Won-seok also had a unique moment. Recently, a personal cheering song was created, and fans are singing this cheering song not only when Lee Won-seok takes the batter's box, but also even if he succeeds in stealing.
Lee Won-seok "I've been waiting for a long time, but you made it well. "I'm grateful to the cheerleader," he said with a smile. "However, I think it will be difficult for fans to sing a little."
