Out of his 14 seasons, which included stints with the Doosan Bears and NC Dinos, he failed to reach the postseason in only two of the

A shocking collapse unfolded as the team, after sweeping the first two games, surrendered three consecutive matches. Japanese infielder Munetaka Murakami (26), who went silent from the heart of the lineup, swung and missed throughout the game, bowing his head in defeat, while the Chicago White Sox’s postseason run came to a heartbreaking halt.

Just one year ago, Manager Kim Kyung-moon (68) had led the Hanwha Eagles to the Korean Series runner-up spot. He has now stepped down from the helm, taking responsibility for the team's drop to 9th place in the regular season. On the 10th, the Hanwha organization issued an official press release stating, "Manager Kim Kyung-moon will leave the team upon the expiration of his contract following the game against the NC Dinos on the 10th."
