"LG Twins is not Moon Bok-kyung..."

The scene was filled with laughter at the words of the winning head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop (58), the head coach of the LG Twins. It was a scene that showed the sense of "Yum-ryang," who accurately caught the host's intention and properly promoted the club's goods.

Asked about this season's hit products at the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Media Day held at the Lotte Hotel World Grand Ballroom in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 26th, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "LG Twins are not Moon Bo-kyung, but a long way off. It means a "small and cute" doll, and Moon Bo-kyung will take the lead in the game, and please love our team's goods a lot."

The KBO League, which opened the era of 12 million spectators for the first time in its history, is already drawing a lot of attention this season. On top of that, he was asked to introduce hit products that would stimulate fans' desire to purchase, but unlike most coaches who introduced expected players this season, coach Yeom brought out the best answer that both the event host and the club would be satisfied with.

Munjakgui is a popular character and is a special good made by LG at the opening, and on this day, coach Yeom and LG players drew attention by wearing doll key rings on their clothes, and actively promoted the product, drawing laughter.

KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho also gave an answer that both the club and fans would be satisfied with. "It's a third uniform that you'll wear over the weekend," he said, "The black-red uniform that will find its former reputation will be suitable to start with Catch Prize's 'Hot Again'. "I will win a lot over the weekend and regain my past reputation," he enthused fans.

Many coaches chose players who would make their fans excited this season. In particular, Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon cited rookie Oh Jae-won as the representative player and said, "Young players are very bold and solid. Oh Jae-won will be very good," he said.

Oh Jae-won is a player who will fill Hanwha's poor center fielder position and has received a lot of attention since the spring camp and proved his possibility. Even before the season, he has been raising fans' expectations by making a clear impression on head coach Kim Kyung-moon.

Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man said, "There is captain Koo Ja-wook and last year's best player Kang Min-ho, but I think the key point will be Bae Chan-seung," adding, "He is a rookie last year, but he will be able to win this season by judging how good he is in the middle and that he has become more mature this season because he had a year of experience.. Bae Chan-seung will play a big role," he said.

SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong also pointed out "WBC heroes Noh Kyung-eun and Cho Byung-hyun," saying, "All Landers players."

KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-chul, who discovered the monster rookie Ahn Hyun-min last year, said, "Ahn Hyun-min was the best hit product last year, and one player comes out every year." "There is Kim Hyun-soo who has transferred, but if Lee Kang-min and Ryu Hyun-in do well and come out, it will be a popular product." I really want you to do well," he said.
