Although four people left due to an unfortunate incident during the spring camp, the Lotte Giants are walking without shaking.

Lotte is leading the exhibition game alone. Lotte came from behind to win 7-4 at home against the "defending champion" LG Twins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th after concentrating on scoring five points in the bottom of the eighth inning.

With this victory, Lotte marked three wins and one draw in the exhibition game, taking the lone lead with an unbeaten record among the 10 clubs.

On this day, Lotte was somewhat shaken by foreign starter Jeremy Bisley's three runs in five innings. In the top of the fourth inning, he allowed a two-run home run to LG Oh Ji-hwan and was dragged 2-4. However, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Lotte tied the game 4-4, with Son Sung-bin and Cho Se-jin drawing consecutive walks with no outs and bases loaded with consecutive hits by Park Seung-wook and Roh Jin-hyuk and Lee Seo-joon.

In the continued opportunity, Lee Ho-joon hit a timely hit, and Jeon Joon-woo's additional timely hit was combined to seal the victory. Yoon Sung-bin, who took the mound in the top of the ninth inning, secured a save by allowing no runs in one inning. His second save in an exhibition game. This is Yoon Sung-bin, who is the sole winner in this category.

In fact, Lotte suffered measles last month when he was involved in an unsavory incident during spring camp. Ko Seung-min (26), Kim Dong-hyuk (26), Na Seung-yeop (24), and Kim Se-min (23) visited a game room in Tainan, Taiwan, and were involved in illegal gambling. Accordingly, Lotte immediately sent these four people back to Korea and voluntarily reported this to the KBO Clean Baseball Center.

Due to the situation at the time, the camp atmosphere was inevitably serious. On the 15th, the Lotte Giants released a video clip of "Going Higher, Giant's Journey: 2026 Spring Camp Documentary" on its official social network service (SNS) channel.

Through this video, the message that veterans gathered the team and delivered after the unsavory incident broke out at the time was released.

Captain Jeon Jun-woo said directly to his juniors, "There is no progress at all. "No one wants to take a seat," he said, adding, "The team will be stronger only when the juniors kick it up and come up. Let's do it properly. Got it?" he said in a direct shot.

In an interview with the club, he said, "Before, I thought a lot that my juniors would follow me a little bit, but now I think it's time to make sure I speak," adding, "The players have more unity and a sense of professionalism." I think the remaining players have become a little stronger," he said.

Kim Min-sung, a 38-year-old veteran, also claimed to be a villain. He said in an interview, "I usually don't nag a lot. I tend not to do it. But now that the situation is the situation," he said. "In fact, I've been doing it a lot since the camp. As long as I'm in the first team, I'm going to nag a little bit. Thankfully, the players are accepting it well," he said.

Kim Min-sung said directly to the team, "Coaches say you can throw the ball a little bit lightly (because of the injury). Let's just throw it gently. It doesn't catch, and if the ball leaks, it becomes a habit. The habit should be taken away from now on. When it comes to what the coach told us to control, we control it on our own, so let's make it according to the situation. It's not that good. "Let's pay attention to those things first. Okay?" he said, giving sincere advice with a charismatic voice.

Lotte fans are reacting enthusiastically when the video is released. Lotte fans are leaving praise-filled messages such as "The video quality is like watching a movie," "I hope we can become a stronger team by using the past as a lesson," "I hope it will be harder as the players said," "I'm moved and tearful," and "I hope it will be a season where the desperately hard-working players take their chances."
