Lee Dong-kyu and Park Kwang-soo, who advanced as wild cards in the Dream (Second Division) Tour, advanced to the round of 64 by defeating Daniel Sanchez (Spain, Welcome Savings Bank), the league's top-level player, and Lee Seung-jin, the champion of the fourth tour and No. 1 in the prize money rankings, respectively, in the round of 128.
Lee Dong-kyu and Park Kwang-soo defeated Sanchez and Lee Seung-jin, respectively, after competing in the round of 128 PBA in the 5th Tour of the 2025-2026 Pro-Danggu 2025-2026 season at Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province.
Lee Dong-kyu, who faced Sanchez, was taken away at the beginning of the game. Sanchez seemed to take the victory easily, making the first set 15-4 (5 innings) and the second set 15-1 (8 innings). However, in the third set, Lee Dong-kyu won 15-6 (6 innings) to make up for one set, and in the fourth set, Lee Dong-kyu won 15-9 after a long game that lasted up to 20 innings, leading the game to a game.
Lee Dong-kyu, who started the game first, continued the flow of the previous two sets and scored five points in the first inning to win the game. Lee Dong-kyu's victory was then confirmed as Sanchez, the second official, scored only one point.
Lee Dong-kyu, who debuted on the Dream Tour in the 2024-2025 season through a tryout, has his best record of 128 rounds recorded in the opening game of the Dream Tour this season. However, he surprised everyone by making an unusual move to beat Sanchez in the first division of the tour with a wild card.
Immediately after the game, Lee Dong-gyu said "It's stupid. I didn't know that I would go on the first part of the tour as a wild card, and it's such an honor. I didn't even expect to win. "My goal is to get promoted to the first division, and I think the victory in this game will be a great motivation. In this tournament, I will learn a lot by playing against high-quality players without a goal of winning or losing," he said.
Similarly, Park Kwang-soo, who participated in this tour as a wild card, captured Lee Seung-jin, who is ranked first in the prize money rankings this season, with his victory in the fourth tour (SY Verite Homme Championship). Park Kwang-soo gave up two sets at the beginning of the game, but he recovered one set by winning 15-3 (11 innings) in the third set. In the fourth set, Lee Seung-jin scored 10 high runs in the second inning, but he stayed in the fifth consecutive inning, and in the meantime, Park Kwang-soo scored one after another, turning the tables to 15-10 (8 innings).
In the subsequent matchup, Lee Seung-jin, the first player, failed to attack, and Park Kwang-soo, the second player, calmly succeeded in the attack and celebrated the victory. Park Kwang-soo made his debut in the Challenge Tour (part 3) in the 2023-2024 season and played in the Dream Tour in the 2024-2025 season.
In the round of 128 PBA, Kim Joon-tae, Kim Young-won (hereinafter Harim), David Zapata (Spain, Woori Financial Capital), Semi Signor (Turkey, Welcome Savings Bank), Conditional Whi (SK Rent-a-Car), Burak Hashashi (Turkey, High1 Resort), Nguyen Kuok Nguyen (Vietnam, Hana Card) and others won the round of 64.
Meanwhile, in the LPBA, Han Ji-eun (SY) recorded Abidge 1.833 and caught Seo Han-sol (Woori Financial Capital) with a set score of 3-0, and Kim Se-yeon (Huons) beat Kim Myung-hee 3-1. Lee Mi-rae (Hiwon Resort), Lee Shin-young (Huons), Lim Kyung-jin (Hiwon Resort), and Lee Woo-kyung (SW) caught Choi Hye-mi (Welcome Savings Bank), Sakai Ayako (Japan, Hana Card), Kwon Bal-hae (SW) and Kim Sang-ah (Harim), respectively.
