In this Korean series, he was 'Mr. Zero'. He played a big role in winning the Korean Series by saving him from the crisis.
Kim Jin-sung, who is 40 years old and the oldest member of the team, led the team to the championship with his best performance this season. He ranked second in the overall hold with 6 wins, 4 losses, 1 save and 33 holds in 78 regular league games, and he pitched in Games 1, 2, 3 and 5, recording an ERA of 0.00 with 1 win, 2 holds, and 2 hits and no runs in 4 ⅓ innings. He became the winning pitcher in the second game and became the oldest winning pitcher in the Korean Series ever. Kim Jin-sung, who also gave no runs during NC in 2020, continued to give no runs in 2023, and this time, he showed off his iron wall in three Korean series that took three winning rings.
In particular, the scene in which Noh Si-hwan, Hanwha's fourth batter, was struck out swinging with a 144km high fastball in the top of the fourth inning with two outs and a full base in the top of the fourth inning when the team was chased 5-7 in Game 2 was overwhelming.
Kim Jin-sung, who met at the winning fan event held in Jamsil on the 1st, said, `Two years ago, I was hurt and thought about how many games I would last, but this year, I was able to play the Korean Series without being sick, so I thought I had to go to many games and prevent all of them, and I'm glad I played all but one game and the result was good," he said with a smile.
As expected, the second game was the most memorable game for him. Kim Jin-sung, who said, "'I went out in a hurry so I couldn't warm up properly.'" Strangely, when the bases are loaded, the body becomes combatant. So I went out confidently thinking that I could stop him because it was loaded with bases." Then "No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan had a good batting sense, but he believed in my ball and threw it. I put my soul into every ball"The ball went high, but in fact, I tried to throw it low, but it went high with a real pitch. When preparing for the series, the vertical movement and other figures came out better than I thought, so I threw with confidence in my fastball, he said."

Since that day, director Yeom Kyung-yeop has said thank you whenever he sees him. Kim Jin-sung laughed, saying, `When I won the first hold and lost it to (Roh) Kyung-eun, the coach said sorry, he said he would take more care of me next year, but he kept saying thank you after the second game and thank you for your hard work.'
After being released from the NC Dinosaurs, he moved to LG for four years. He has become an essential and important bullpen pitcher in his team. This is the result of hard preparation every year. All LG fans know that they come to the ballpark at 6 a.m. to train during the off-season.
Kim Jin-sung said, "1 year, 1 year results are coming out well, but we have to prepare again for next season. I won yesterday (31st) and had to enjoy and enjoy riding the bus in Daejeon, but I was worried about how to prepare for next year first. "If I was young, I would look at it for a long time, but a veteran has to stand on a cliff and produce results and do well, so I have a lot of stress about him. I'm smiling now, but I'm worried about what to do on one side."
Still, Kim Jin-sung, who has endured four years well, plans to take courage at this year's celebration. Kim Jin-sung "I want to say to team owner Koo Kwang-mo, "I'm grateful that I came to LG for four years and I've worked really hard."."
