However, the mound collapsed and gave three runs in the fourth inning and six runs in the fifth inning shattered the dream of winning.
The Korean baseball team lost 4-11 to Japan in the first warm-up match of the "2025 NAVER K-BASEBALL SERIES" held at Tokyo Dome, Japan on the 15th. After starter Kwak Bin went down in the fourth inning, he tried to block the Japanese batters with a must-win team of each team, including beneficial Kim Taek-yeon and Lee Ho-sung, but confirmed the exact hitting and power of Japanese hitters. Japan scored a large number of runs by concentrating on 10 hits, including an upset three-run homer by Yukinori Kishida.

South Korea had only five hits on the day. Except for two home runs by Ahn Hyun-min and Song Sung-moon, Shin Min-jae hit all three of them alone. No one from No. 4 to No. 9 hit a hit. It can be said that the Japanese pitchers were good. Moon Hyun-bin hit the pitcher's foot with a ground ball in the top of the fifth inning, but the umpire did not hit the ground and flew directly off the pitcher's foot, so it was regrettable that the first baseman caught the ball.
He vowed to win, but as a result, he could feel the level difference.
Ryu Ji-hyun, manager of the Korean baseball team, said "I think young players have had a good experience. I think it was a game where we could grow up."I hoped that the young players' failure would be a shortcut to success.
-The general evaluation of the game is.
▶We led 3-0 in the top of the fourth inning with consecutive home runs, and the bottom of the fourth inning was important. The opponent was in the top batting order. The first batter's walk was the most regrettable.
-How did you see Ahn Hyun-min and Song Seong-moon's home run.
▶It was impressive that Ahn Hyun-min was doing his swing normally at the batter's box. It was the first match except against the Czech Republic in an international match. There must have been a lot of tension, but he was swinging himself. Song Sung-moon is the best accurate player in the KBO League this season. I hit a good home run.
-If there is any Japanese player who impressed you while watching today's game.
▶ As expected, Morissita is the third batter. I felt that he was the most accurate player. The bullpen pitchers also have a sense of stability. I thought this was the strength of the Japanese team.
-How do you plan to play tomorrow's game.
▶ In fact, the pitcher was more depleted than planned today. There is an entry I thought of, and our members are composed of players who throw from the bullpen one inning each rather than the players who throw long. I hope there will be a long pitching situation in tomorrow's game because I used a lot of pitchers today. There are 11 four outs left in the pitching staff today. This part was the most regrettable. I think young pitchers have had a good experience in this part. I think it was a game where we could grow.

▶The KBO League ABS, which has a high zone edge, will be ruled a strike. I couldn't see it from the front today, so I couldn't set the exact zone, but I don't think the strike is coming out from the high side. I think it needs to be checked in that regard.
-Wasn't there something to think about the referee's decision (Moon Hyun-bin batting in the top of the fifth inning)
▶It was a disappointing decision, but for now, there is something different from the KBO. KBO can read the situation inside the ground, and even if the current WBC rules are so, it is considered that the ball has become a bound based on the angle at which the ball hits and goes up. He appealed that part. There was a message from the referee that it should not be reversed after hearing that it was made under the agreement of the fourth trial. It is a pity for the players, but I also thought that they should not be shaken during the game.
-You said four dunes, but it felt unorganized. Do you think you're nervous because it's your first time at Tokyo Dome.
▶He must have been nervous. They are very young players. This part would not have had an impact. It's a part of growing up. I think what I felt in today's game is that the players must have felt that there are difficulties in international competitions if they are not supported by their breaking ball control to face a strong team. If throwing 150 kilometers in Korea worked, the international competition should control the strength and weakness by mixing breaking balls. As such a part was lacking, there were many walks. I think it will grow if I think it's a good experience.
-The first, second and third hitters did their job. How did you look at the 4th to 9th. What's your plan for the second game. Considering that six hits were recorded and seven were recorded including Moon Hyun-bin's disappointing batting. It would have been better if the part leading to the lower batting line had been connected well. In fact, Shin Min-jae also had his first experience in the national team last year in the Premier 12 and this is his second time. Unlike last year, he felt that he had more overall leeway in playing than other players. I think I will play well in the competition in the future. I'm thinking of putting Han Dong-hee in the starting lineup tomorrow. It was also good against the Czech Republic, and it was impressive to see him hit the ball quickly today.
