Seo Geon-chang (37, Keum Heroes), the "main character of the return of romance," hit a home run in his return to the "hero corps." It was a shot that made us look forward to his performance this season.

Kiwoom lost 7-9 in the opening game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League exhibition game against the Doosan Bears at Bears Park in Icheon on the 12th.

Seo Geon-chang, who started the game on the bench, was put in as a logistical guard when Doosan attacked in the bottom of the seventh inning when his team was trailing 4-9. He entered on behalf of first baseman Lee Hyung-jong. Seo Geon-chang played defense on first base easily.

The first half of the eighth inning that followed. Doosan put Japanese pitcher Ichiro Tamura in the Asian quarter instead of lowering Choi Ji-gang. Kim Tae-jin, the leadoff hitter, grounded out the pitcher.

The next batter is Seo Geon-chang. Seo Geon-chang calmly picked out two balls. Then, the third ball. Seo Geon-chang hit Tamura's fastball (145 kilometers) that entered the high course. The ball flew over the right fence with a low trajectory and then went well over it. According to Doosan, the flying distance was 115.2 meters, the angle of launch was 29.5 degrees, and the batting speed was 161.3 kilometers.

It was Seo Geon-chang's precious home run, not a home run batter. Seo Geon-chang, who joined the LG Twins in 2008 as a nurturing player. By the 2025 season, he has only 41 homers in his career. From the 2022 season, there have been only four home runs in the last four seasons. Seo Geon-chang's return to Kiwoom, his former team, had a major accident in the west where the sun would hit a home run from his first at-bat.

Seo Geon-chang signed a free agent (FA) contract with the KIA Tigers last season for 1+1 year and a total of 500 million won. However, after only 10 games, he eventually left KIA. And ahead of this season, he signed a Kiwoom and an annual salary of 120 million won. It was the moment when he returned to his home team for the first time in five years.

Seo Geon-chang joined the Taiwanese spring camp in Kiwoom and built himself solidly. Prior to the game, Kiwoom coach Seol Jong-jin said, "First of all, the first is the second baseman." Next, I'm thinking about the first baseman. He can then play as a designated hitter. Of course, joining the entry has not been confirmed yet. I'm going to use it after an exhibition game."

Will Seo Geon-chang be able to perform well this season based on his home run before returning to his home team. First of all, we're off to a good start.
