Son Ah-seop, should we put the first dagger of the season against his old team? I know NC manager Lee Ho-joon's inner weaknesses, but...
Son Ah-seop hit a two-run double in the second inning.
"Aseob's weakness?" Of course I know...There are a lot of variables."

NC Dinos head coach Lee Ho-joon expressed his intention about 'Son Ah-seop Derby'.

NC will play the first game of the weekend series against the Hanwha Eagles at Changwon NC Park on the 15th. Hanwha is in full swing with four consecutive wins, including a three-game sweep against the Lotte Giants.




In particular, veteran Son Ah-seop is at the center of it. Son Ah-seop, who was traded to Hanwha at the end of July, is improving his condition by hitting five consecutive games at one point in August.

Coach Lee Ho-joon, who met before the game, said he had no particular thoughts about the `Son Ah-seop Derby.' He explains that he is now a player on someone else's team, and it is the same to analyze the first to ninth batters anyway. "I know the weakness, but it's another matter of whether our pitcher can throw it exactly there, and if he's a veteran like Son Ah-seop, he can reinforce that part and come in," he added.

"I don't have any thoughts like this if I didn't do it well because I traded it and sent it. However, I think it would be a mess if I lost to Son Ah-seop today. There is a reason to send it, and I want to go and do well. I think our fans will clap a lot if we say hello today."

Manager Lee Ho-joon said, `It's not a home run hitter, so the damage is less. Still, a batter only needs to hit once out of three at-bats…," he said with a smile. `From my point of view, it's best for me to put a player like Son Ah-seop in it and use it. But maybe because I'm a novice director, I can't put my heart into it that much. Still, he is a player who leads the Korean baseball record, and I thought he would fit Hanwha better," he said, making it clear that he was considerate.

"I'll trust our pitchers. There are no home runs or stolen bases this year, but season 1 won't come out of nowhere, will it?"
