Manager Lee Bum-ho looked back on the previous day's defeat against Kiwoom ahead of the 2025 KBO League LG Twins match at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd. Park Jung-woo, a walk-off runner, failed to make a mistake in the judgment of the ball.
Rather than blaming Park Jung-woo, head coach Lee Bum-ho praised Kiwoom left fielder Lim Ji-yeol.
Director Lee Bum-ho said, `Park Jung-woo was looking around. I told him to cheer up because there will be a day when he can win the game thanks to Park Jungwoo," he said with a smile.
It was Kim Tae-gun's at-bat with one out, with KIA trailing 10-11. He was out on a left field line drive. Assuming that it was a hit, KIA would have come from behind to win if second baseman Park Jung-woo had scored.
But it was a fly ball. I had to do base retouch. Park Jung-woo went too far, mistaking it for a hit. Lim Ji-yeol's throw was faster than Park Jung-woo. Two out counts went up, ending in KIA's loss.
Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `It's a game that has passed. It was such a good hit. Would have wanted to come home. I had to judge instinctively within a second. I think I thought it was a hit first," he said, sympathizing with Park Jung-woo's feelings.
He said Lim Ji-yeol did a good job.

"Park Jung-woo is close to the main head play, but it was good to judge that Lim Ji-yeol had a higher probability of second base there," he added.
In fact, director Lee Bum-ho also protested the situation for a long time. The ruling was not reversed.
Manager Lee Bum-ho said, "(According to the rules, the ball must be lifted with a glove to be recognized as a port. From the video, the ball seemed to be touching the ground. But the catch was already completed before that, and it was said to be the next move. So that's how I moved on."
