Hanwha will play the fifth postseason playoff game against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 24th.

The biggest topic is whether Kim Seo-hyun will take the mound or not. In Game 4 on the 22nd, Kim Seo-hyun hit a three-run home run by Kim Young-woong in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 4-1 lead.




Kim Seo-hyun, who is in his third year this year, has been firmly blocking Hanwha's backdoor by taking the position as a closer and recording 33 saves. However, it began to falter in the second half of the season.

In the match against Incheon SSG Landers on the 1st, he suffered a walk-off defeat when he hit a two-run home run by Hyun Won-hoe and Lee Yul-ye. He was shaken by allowing two runs of three hits (one home run) in a three-run save situation in the first game, and eventually came down the mound with only one out count. Hanwha was able to catch the first game as Kim Bum-soo, who followed, put out the fire.

Despite the continued shaking, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon nailed "Kim Seo-hyun is the closing pitcher for Game 5" after losing Game 4.

There was a lot of criticism, and director Kim made remarks as if determined by the story of Kim Seo-hyun. Coach Kim said "Kim Seo-hyun should not use the ball 150km below." He explained the reason for hiring Kim Seo-hyun as a closer, saying, "It comes out more than 153-154km."

Director Kim continued "It's not going to end just this year. He will also hit a three-run home run in both the Major League and the Champions Series. It would be a waste to kill a player with too much result theory."

However, Kim Seo-hyun will not play in the game on this day. Manager Kim said, `Today, I'm going to finish the game with two players, Ponce and Weiss,' adding, `It's the best foreign pitcher and second player in Korea. I don't know how many innings (the starting pitcher) Ponce will throw, but then I'm going to put Weiss up to finish the game."




Coach Kim said, "(If today's game results are good, I can go out with my goal next time." I don't think it's going to be easy (to win the Korean Series) without Kim Seo-hyun. I'm going to finish with two foreign players today," he said, stressing that he will use Kim Seo-hyun as the last player next time he gets a chance.
