The momentum that Lotte Giants showed in the exhibition game came out as it was. Behind the report card, which was the first place in the exhibition game, was the strong determination of the main players, saying, "I will not stop at a sparkling performance." At the center of it, outfielder Yoon Dong-hee (23) opened his mouth about the team nickname "Bomde," which he is good at only exhibition games or early in the season.

Lotte beat the Samsung Lions 6-3 in the opening match of the "2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 28th. He led 6-0 and was chased by three points, but he didn't give up the lead and caught the game.

On this day, Yoon Dong-hee's hard hitting was crucial. He played in the central lineup with two hits (one home run) in five at-bats (one home run) and two RBIs and one run, starting as the third batter and right fielder.

In particular, Yoon Dong-hee hit hard at the top of the first inning with 1 out and 1 on the 1st base, 1 ball-2 strike unfavorable ball count, and Samsung starter Ariel Furado's 5th pitch 145km/h fastball.

Yoon Dong-hee's hit made me feel that it was a home run. The ball went straight behind right fielder Kim Sung-yoon, drawing a large parabola. It was recorded as a large two-run home run with a distance of 113 meters falling at the top of the outfield stands. It was his first home run in the KBO League this season. As a result, Yoon Dong-hee's home run led to the final home run. He added a double in the fifth inning and made multiple hits with two long balls. Yoon Dong-hee continued his batting average of 0.426 in the exhibition game.

Yoon Dong-hee, who met with reporters immediately after the game as a trainee player, expressed her honest feelings about the nickname "Bomde," which means "Lotte, which is only good in spring." Lotte also topped the exhibition game with eight wins, two losses and two draws, and a winning rate of 0.800.

Yoon Dong-hee answered this question without hesitation, saying, "I feel bad," but added, "I don't know about other players, but personally, I don't care much about the nicknames that fans and the media give me. It is also because it is true. Anyway, you can't win first place if you do well only in spring. In order to continue to do well in the future, I think we should try to do well in spring and do well throughout the four seasons," he added.

He stressed that the overall team atmosphere was brightened because the exhibition game ended in first place. Yoon Dong-hee said, "Since I won first place, I can't tell you that it's helpful unconditionally. But I think this first place was still meaningful. The atmosphere can't be bad because we kept winning (the trial game) anyway in playing the opening game. I think I was able to win the opening game because I brought a good team atmosphere."

He also pointed out the meaning of his first victory in four years since the 2022 season. Yoon Dong-hee said, "I feel really good to win. The winning rate of the opening game was not good, but it was meaningful as a whole because it seemed to break such jinx. Team batting went well, one of many games, but team batting is necessary in a meaningful game. I've been practicing that since winter. The entire team hit with alarm, so I think it went well," he said with satisfaction.
