Doosan Bears, who are waiting for a new head coach, cleaned up the team.

Doosan notified a total of 11 people, including pitchers Lee Seung-jin, Jo Jae-young, Nam Ho, Park Yeon-jun, Yeon Seo-joon, Park Min-je, Choi Se-chang, outfielder Kang Hyun-gu, Kang Dong-hyung, infielder Lee Min-seok, and Kim Min-ho, that they could not renew their contracts for the 2026 season.

Lee Seung-jin and Nam-ho, who were acquired through trade, will leave Doosan.

Lee Seung-jin, who joined the SK Wyverns (currently SSG Landers) in the second round of the rookie draft (73rd overall) in 2014, wore a Doosan uniform in a trade in 2020. He showed good enough performance to record 13 holds in 2021, but has not settled down in the first team since then. In the end, he couldn't make the first team stage after 2023 and left the team.

Nam-ho, who joined the LG Twins in the second round of the rookie draft (45th overall) in 2019, was traded to Doosan along with Yang Seok-hwan in 2021.

He was expected to be a left-handed prospect, but he did not receive a first-team call-up after playing only five games in the first year of his transfer.

Kang Hyun-gu is a player that acting coach Cho Sung-hwan carefully observed. He received a call-up on August 6 as he performed well with two home runs with a batting average of .385 in eight games in July. Acting president Cho plays a big role as a mood maker, saying, `It's a good player to grow into a medium- and long-distance hitter.'" he said. However, he played only two at-bats in one game in the first team this year, and reorganized at Futures, but eventually failed to continue with Doosan.

Kang Dong-hyung, who joined Doosan in the second round of the 2022 rookie draft (69th overall), had a batting average of 3.24 and one home run and two steals (OPS) of 0.886 in 51 games this season. The public, the number, and the state were all evaluated as complying, but they failed to make a place in the first team.

Cho joined Doosan in the second round of the rookie draft (39th overall) in 2020. He came out in 10 games as he started and saved in 2020 and 2021, but he did not succeed in establishing the first team.

Park Yeon-jun, a right-hander who graduated from Sebo-jeon Hall and Gangneung Yeongdong University, joined Doosan as a nurturing player this year. He had a 5.23 ERA with three losses and four holds in 14 games without a first-team call-up.

Yeon Seo-joon, who joined the 10th round (96th overall) of the rookie draft in 2025, played two games in the Futures League this year and allowed no runs in one ⅓, but left Doosan without receiving a first-team call-up.

Park Min-je, who wore Doosan's uniform as a nurturing player this year after graduating from Daegu Sangwon High School and Dongwon University of Science and Technology, also had to be notified of his release after taking two appearances in the Futures League alone.

Choi Se-chang, who joined Doosan in the second third round of the rookie draft in 2020 (29th overall), was called up to the first team in 2020 and 2021 with a 2.08 ERA in four ⅓ innings in four games. In this year's Futures League, he pitched in 20 games and recorded a 2-1 record with a 4.91 ERA with five holds.

Infielder Lee Min-seok, who joined Doosan as a nurturing player in 2022 after graduating from Busan Technical High School, posted a batting average of 282 with an OPS of 0.712 in 22 games in the Futures League this season. He showed good performance with a batting average of 545 in five games since September, but was eventually notified of his release.

Kim Min-ho, who joined Seongnam High School as a nurturing player in 2025 after graduating from Hanyang University, appeared in 30 games with a batting average of 191, one homer, one stolen base, and three RBIs. He showed growth, hitting a batting average of .400 in three games in September, but he failed to make his first-team debut and eventually took off his Doosan uniform.

Meanwhile, Doosan, which played the season under acting coach Cho Sung-hwan after Lee Seung-yeop was called out from his position in early June, is working on the appointment of a new head coach. We have selected candidates, including acting Cho, and are in the in-depth interview stage.
