He shook off his sluggishness and gave his fans a victory in the Korean Series for the first time in 19 years and shed tears of joy.

Hanwha Eagles closer Kim Seo-hyun escaped from a long tunnel. Kim Seo-hyun, who continued his anxious pitching by hitting a memorable disappointing homerun against SSG Landers, which became second in the regular league, a home run in Game 1 of the playoffs, and a tie home run in Game 4, finally blocked the ninth inning and shared the joy of victory with his teammates. That was the Korean Series.

In Game 3 of the Korean Series against the LG Twins at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th, Kim Seo-hyun made a relief appearance in the top of the eighth inning and allowed one hit and one run in one ⅔ inning. Kim Seo-hyun was given a winning pitcher in the bottom of the eighth inning as the team scored a large number of six points and won 7-3.




Kim Seo-hyun, who took the mound in the top of the eighth inning with one out and runners on the first and third bases, was playing against Austin and threw a wild pitch behind Austin's back in the advantageous count of 2S. The third baseman homered and 1-3. Kim Seo-hyun could have collapsed again, but Kim caught Austin with a fly to left field, and Kim Hyun-soo also handled it with a fly to center field and blocked additional runs.

Fortunately, Moon Hyun-bin's lucky RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning, Hwang Young-mook's tie-breaking walk, Shim Woo-joon's come-from-behind two-run double, Choi Jae-hoon's wedge two-run hit, and so on, turning the tables 7-3 at once.

Kim Seo-hyun also came out in the top of the ninth inning with a four-run gap, and gave up a hit to Moon Bo-kyung and a hit ball to Park Dong-won, putting him on the verge of a one-out, first and second base, but blocked pinch hitter Moon Sung-joo with a double play in front of second base and finished the game as a closer for the first time in a long time.

Kim Seo-hyun later surprised the fans. The scene of him crying in the dugout was reflected on the electronic display. The audience saw this and shouted Kim Seo-hyun's name.

I asked Kim Seo-hyun, who came to the interview room, why she cried. Kim Seo-hyun said, `There were a lot of hard times since the Landers, but I stopped the game well today after a long time.' `It's been a long time since I blocked the ninth inning, so I suddenly got emotional then," he said, explaining his tears at the time.

Kim Seo-hyun `lost confidence and contracted and contracted. The seniors around me cheered me on that I could survive if I threw confidently, and my brother, a bullpen catcher, also cheered me on"I tried to get up as soon as possible, but I think it took a lot of time. 'Thanks to you, I've come all the way here. You don't have to be intimidatedWhen I heard ', I thought I should do it after hearing it,' he said, adding that the support of his colleagues helped him greatly.




Ironically, the ball power has revived since Game 4 of the playoffs, when Kim Young-woong hit a home run. Coach Yang Sang-moon said, "The ball has improved since Game 4 of the playoffs, when Hero hit a home run by his brother rather than Game 1 of the Korean Series." He said he could throw it like he did then because his pace came up again."

Now, it is not a painful memory, but a good memory of becoming Hanwha's winning pitcher for the first time in 19 years. Kim Seo-hyun expressed his determination, saying, `I will train harder and work harder in the game to prevent the victory more safely while keeping good memories of the game in a long time.'
