Even if the team won, they couldn't laugh as much as they wanted. My seat is gone. I didn't have a stake in the huge achievement of advancing to the Korean Series.

But baseball is a team sport. Kim Seo-hyun (21) reflected on himself. Kim Seo-hyun was revived only in Game 3 of the Korean Series. After completely defending his team's victory for the first time in a long time, he shed hot tears after the game.

Hanwha Eagles closer Kim Seo-hyun took the mound as a relief pitcher in Game 3 of the Korean Series against the LG Twins in the 2025 KBO League postseason at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th and became a winning pitcher with no runs in the first ⅔. Trailing 1-2 in the top of the eighth inning, he started at first and third bases with one out. One wild pitch gave him one point, but that was it. Hanwha turned it over 7-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Kim Seo-hyun also came up in the top of the ninth inning and definitely ended it.




This is what he always showed during the regular season. Kim Seo-hyun has 2 wins, 4 losses, 33 saves and a 3.14 ERA in 69 games this year. There were only four blon saves. He ranked second in saves.

However, Kim Seo-hyun shook sharply from the end of the pennant race. On the 1st, he collapsed after hitting two two two-run home runs in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 5-2 lead over Incheon SSG. He came up with a save situation in the first round of the playoffs against SamsungHe was chased to 9-8, then replaced. In Game 4 of the playoffs, he hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the sixth inning.

Kim Seo-hyun even suffered a finishing touch during the playoffs. Hanwha, which is in a hurry to win one game, was an inevitable choice. In the third round of the playoffs, starting agent Moon Dong-ju threw all of the 6th to 9th innings. In other words, Kim Seo-hyun has lost his seat.

Hanwha broke through the playoffs thanks to Moon Dong-ju's active performance in the middle. However, Kim Seo-hyun couldn't just smile because he was young. Rather than feeling happy that the team won, he felt more guilty that he didn't do well.

Kim Seo-hyun said, `At first, there was also a feeling of disappointment. (Moon)I felt sorry for Dong-ju. Dong-ju blocked it, but he made an expression that I couldn't run. Dong-ju must have felt bad. I have to say thank you to Dong-ju, but that's the part that I feel sorry for Dong-ju," he said, confessing his clumsy expression of emotion.

In the Korean Series, Kim Seo-hyun finally overcame it. It is no exaggeration to say that this is also a stage made by Moon Dong-ju. Since I came to the Korean Series, I had a chance to make up for it. Kim Seo-hyun said "I took a chance to get up again because Dong-ju blocked me. I regained my confidence today. I'll try harder to keep the rest of the game safe by training harder"I'm determined.
