"If Game 4 ended 1-4, we would have lost Game 5 as well."

The afterglow of the LG Twins' unified victory in the 2025 season is not easy to go away. LG won Game 5 of the Korean Series on the 31st and secured the championship with a score of 4 to 1. On the 1st, fans gathered at Jamsil Stadium and even held a grand celebration. After winning the title in 29 years in 2023, he ranked third last year and won this year, laying the foundation for the dynasty.

The highlight of this series is Game 4. LG caught both the first and second games in Jamsil, but failed to target the opponent's ace Ponce in Game 3 and allowed pursuit. If it was given to Hanwha by Game 4, the atmosphere of the series would have crossed over to the other side at one point.




And it actually almost happened. Hanwha's strongest one-two punch Weiss overwhelmed LG's batters with his all-out pitching. With two outs in the eighth inning, it was pushed to 1-4 before he went down. In fact, there was a strong sense of defeat. However, LG hit the opponent's closer Kim Seo-hyun and scored six runs in the ninth inning to create a miraculous come-from-behind victory. Here, Hanwha has completely lost its fighting spirit. Game 5 starter Moon Dong-joo failed to throw a fast ball as if he had a problem and was replaced in the first inning, and the victory actually went to LG.

There was a behind-the-scenes story of Game 4. Kim Yong-eui was with the players as the quality control (QC) coach for the Korean Series. Originally, he was in charge of the operation and running part in the second team, but due to the award of the first base coach Song Ji-man, he temporarily came to the first team. However, he still showed his strong energy since he was a player as a coach. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who paid attention to this, accompanied coach Kim to the first team to convey positive energy to the team. And in the Korean Series, he officially registered for the entry. The other coaches already have positions, so they attached QC coach business cards to make room for them. Usually, QC coaches go to a high position just below the head coach on the team.

Since I was with LG in the dark age when I was a player, I haven't even watched the championship. In 2023, I watched LG win as a commentator. Coach Kim said "I've experienced winning for the first time in my life. It was great," he said. "I was very lucky to see how the coaches and coaches lead the short-term game in the dugout. It's been a lot of study."

Baseball, especially short-term games, is an atmosphere and flow battle. The feeling of the team in the field is almost right. Coach Kim said, `The dugout atmosphere was honestly not good in Game 4. If the game ended with a score of 1-4, in my experience, we would have lost Game 5. It's because there's a flow. But Park Dong-won did a great job."

Coach Kim said Kim Hyun-soo's come-from-behind final hit was also important, but Park Dong-won's home run in front of him was crucial. Coach Kim hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning when Park Dong-won followed by one run. So in the dugout, there was an atmosphere of 'Even if we lose today, we can try again tomorrow' This alone was a big income, but it turned the economy upside down. It was such a miracle."
