Lee Dae-ho started as the 4th-1st baseman at the Korea-Japan Dream Players 2025 game held in Econfield Hokkaido, Kitahiroshima, Japan on the 30th, and played an active role with 3 hits, 1 home run, 2 RBIs and 3 runs from 5 times at bat. Korea won 7-1, and Lee Dae-ho was named MVP. He received 1 million yen (about 9.4 million won) as MVP prize money.
Lee Dae-ho was out with a fly ball to the third baseman in his first at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the first inning, but he scored an RBI with a delightful double in the third inning when he hit the right-center fence one-bound.
In the fourth inning, he got on base with a double on the left-field line after two outs and scored on Lee Byung-kyu's double. He came out as the leadoff hitter in the sixth inning and hit a solo home run over the left fence against Tadashi Setsuk, leading to a 6-1 run to seal the victory.
In the defense of the first base, he caught and handled on-board and ground balls well with soft movements several times.
After training the previous day, Lee Dae-ho said, `I heard I lost last year. You have to win this year to not be a habit. We must not continue our habit of losing." Lee Dae-ho, who did not participate last year, led Korea to victory with a hard hit.

▶I had a great game regardless of the victory or defeat, and thank you for making such good memories?
-He showed a huge hit with a home run and two doubles.
▶ It's been 4 years since I retired, but I have a steady sense of play because I'm playing entertainment baseball in Korea, so I think I got a good result thanks to that?
-The situation where you hit a home run.
▶I think a setter who played for the same team in Japan threw me a home run. I'll give credit to the Sets. (Told Setsu in Japanese, "Thank you")
-He hit a home run and celebrated with Lee Jong-beom in the dugout.
▶I said I would hit a home run to Lee Jong-beom before I entered the batter's box, but I really hit a home run and made that move.
-The home run is likely to be meaningful in the match between Korea and Japan. If you have anything to say to your juniors who will compete in the WBC next year.
▶It's been a long time since I wore the national team uniform (home run against Korea and Japan) so I don't remember when I hit it. I didn't think I would hit a home run, but I came to enjoy it, but the result came out good. WBC needs to prepare well because it has a good team and a lot of good players. I hope that the results will not come out before, so that the people can enjoy it this time with good results. I'm looking forward to doing well if I prepare well.
-Do you want the game to continue today.
▶I had a lot of fun. I was able to bring back memories with my favorite Japanese players, players in my memories, and seniors when I was young. As there are more games like this, fans like it, and players have good opportunities, so I hope we can continue to exchange and have a better relationship. Thank you to the fans who came to watch the game, and it's my first time here at the ballpark, and I think it's well built. Thank you to the fans who came today.
