KT Wiz, led by head coach Lee Kang-chul, successfully completed a 44-day long journey for the 2026 season.

The KT club said on the 8th, "We have completed the 2026 spring camp in Geelong, Australia, and Okinawa, Japan." KT's squad, which departed for Geelong, Australia on January 21, played basic and tactical training and three warm-up matches. After moving back to the second camp site in Okinawa, Japan on February 25, he checked his sense of play with LG, Hanwha, KIA, and Samsung.

In this camp, where a large number of new faces participated, veterans such as Kim Hyun-soo and Jang Sung-woo led the training atmosphere and harmonized with young players. Rookie Park Ji-hoon and Lee Kang-min showed their growth by completing the camp, while Kim Min-seok, Won Sang-hyun and Yoo Jun-kyu also improved to the next level, raising expectations.

Kim Min-seok was selected as the camp MVP. Won Sang-hyun won the outstanding pitcher, Junghoon Lee the outstanding hitter, and Lim Joon-hyung won the skill development award. Head coach Lee Kang-chul said, "I'm happy to finish the camp without any major injuries in a good training environment."

The head coach's satisfaction level was also the highest. Coach Lee Kang-chul said, "The new players have melted well into the team. It was possible to confirm the thickened player base, with many newcomers who have improved their skills in pitching. The team's front desk, field staff, and coaching staff who provided a good camp environment also did a great job. We will prepare well for the rest of the year and do our best to show good performance in the regular season, he stressed.

Captain Jang Sung-woo said, "All the players became one team and prepared hard for one goal. Thank you to all the players who have helped the new players adapt well to the team. As the opening of the regular season is just around the corner, we will make a good atmosphere so that we can show what we have prepared as a result," he said.

Kim Min-seok, who was named MVP, said, "I'm very honored and happy to receive the MVP award in the second camp I participated in for the first time. I was able to receive it thanks to the coaching staff and seniors who gave me a lot of advice during batting and defensive training. It motivates me and gives me confidence to face the season. I will prepare well so that I can show good performance to my fans," he said.

Meanwhile, the KT squad will return home through OZ Flight 171 at 2:35 p.m. on the 9th.
