KT Wiz was unfortunately ranked 6th at the end of this season after falling behind in the semifinal battle.

Coach Lee Kang-chul ranked 6th in 2019, his first year as KT manager

He has advanced to the postseason for five consecutive years, including second place, championship, fourth place, second place and fifth place, but unfortunately failed to advance to the postseason for six consecutive years this time.




Coach Lee, who led the team to Taiwan for the "2025 Taoyuan Asian Baseball Exchange Game", strongly shouted for another challenge next season, seeing as a time to recharge this season's lack of baseball this fall.

-You must have had a lot of regrets about last season

▶There is nothing we can do about last season anyway.Unfortunately, I'm thinking positively about getting rid of it and having time to recharge it.




I think young players need to take a break, and I think they gave me a time like that. It wasn't easy to break the mold because my grades continued to improve. Since we're continuously going.It was not easy to break it.

I've been paying attention here, but now that I've fallen once, I think it's time to think about different things. Starting with the final training, I'm watching a lot from below, but I think the new rookies are better than I thought.

-Are there any players who are watching closely




▶The player who came here seems to be okay overall. There are four newcomers. There's a pitcher, and he looks good

-Will there be a player who will be used in the first team right away next year.

▶I think there are 1 or 2 people

-I took him to Wakayama a lot.

▶This year, some are growing up, some are a little slow. I hope everyone does well.

-It's not easy to have such an exchange war at this time.

▶In such a situation, it is good to be able to conduct an interim inspection by having such a time (exchange war). I wanted to see you play the game once more than during practice, but I think I came well because the competition was made here. It can be boring if you practice too much, but there's something you can check in real life. Pitchers don't know only with bullpens. After seeing the throwing here, I think I will have to finish the time left for about 10 days and make a camp list for next year.

-Ahn Hyun-min went to the national team.He has grown significantly this season and has become a player attracting attention, and I'm curious about his feelings.

▶I hope you don't get hurt and do well. It's because you're taking it according to your hard work. You did well this season, so you can be a member of the national team, and you can be a WBC. I think he took it as well as he tried.

-Was there a part that originally tried to grow Ahn Hyun-min in the finishing camp.

▶I tried to strengthen my defense a little bit. Still, I think there will be something to improve because I'm there with good players. But it's good to go to WBC and grow further. I believe you'll learn well

-How about first-round rookie Park Ji-hoon. Did I throw it in Wakayama

▶I brought him to Taiwan to play the game. About an inning. Park Ji-hoon played games in high school. I heard that there was a physical competition last time.

-The next year is bright only when must-win groups such as Son Dong-hyun and Won Sang-hyun live, so what about that.

▶ Now his pitching has improved. Donghyun got better too, but I'm going to check it out. On top of that, we have to make one or two new people next year, and that's the most important thing. The fielders tell me to catch the FA on my own, and there are no fielders. You have to reinforce the pitcher in the middle. I hope there will be about two new people. There needs to be some new people. I think Park Ji-hoon will be a card in terms of spraying powerful balls.

-Are there any players on this year's camp list who can make it happen.

▶I've seen a lot of chances, but I can see both players and players with potential. The judgment is nearing. The rookies nominated this time are fine. Lee Kang-min and Kim Gun-hwi were brought to watch the match. Kim Gun-hwi also hit a home run when he played two games against a team of members of the society in Japan.

-Fans want to see "Steel Magic" next year too

▶I have to make it well. I hope players like Hyun-min come up one by one. I don't know again next year. Who will pop out again. There are also some new players that stand out.

-Is next year's concept 'Challenge'.

▶That's right. We have to try next year. I will definitely focus on my grades.

-Last season, there was also a regret from foreign players.

▶ It's all an excuse. In the meantime, we have been consistently good at one or two foreign players. However, it was thanks to the three Korean starters that were able to last a long time. Three people held out well, so we were able to hold out well.If I pick a good player and go, wouldn't I be able to get a good result again.
