Samsung announced on the 28th that it will say goodbye to pitcher Song Eun-beom and infielder Kang Han-ul at the end of this season.
Song Eun-beom is a veteran pitcher who has been in his 23rd year as a professional since joining the SK Wyverns with the first nomination in 2003. He played 1,468 ⅓ innings in 694 games with 88 wins, 95 losses, 27 saves, 59 holds, and an ERA of 4.55.
In addition to SK, he moved to KIA Tigers in 2013, Hanwha Eagles in 2015, LG Twins in 2019, and Samsung in 2024 to live as a journeyman. He played as a starter in SK and Hanwha, and as a bullpen in LG and Samsung.
He announced his retirement after being released by LG at the end of 2023. It seemed difficult to return to the professional league as he was also eliminated from the tryout of the 'strongest baseball (currently fiery baseball).
He made a surprise return to Samsung in July last year, which wanted to strengthen his pitching, and used his unique fighting spirit at the end of the season to show impressive performance with an ERA of 1.08 in nine games and eight ⅓ innings. He also took the mound in the playoffs and the Korean Series, showing good performance from time to time.

Kang Han-ul is an infield multi agent who played 847 games in the first team. Although he lacked long shots, he instead played a role in filling the vacancy of the team with solid defense and fast feet. In 2017, he hit over 400 at-bats and recorded a batting average of 333, and in 2022, after completing his military service, he was below the regular at-bats, but he played in his heyday with a batting average of 3.23 and an OPS of 0.773. However, this season, he left the team without ever making the first team.
On the same day, Samsung released infielder Oh Hyun-seok and outfielder Kim Tae-geun in Korea in addition to Song Eun-beom and Kang Han-ul.
