How can it not be solved like this even if it doesn't. Ahn Sang-hyun (29, SSG Landers), who made a fatal error the previous day, headed to the second division, but even Seok Jung-woo (27), who was called up on his behalf, failed to avoid the blade of replacement.

Seok Jung-woo started as the ninth batter and second baseman in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 12th, but was replaced by Jung Joon-jae during defense in the bottom of the fifth inning.

In the process of losing four consecutive games, many mistakes came out at second base, especially the previous day, when he made an error with his complacent play, providing an excuse for his loss, and the team suffered a painful defeat. SSG removed Ahn Sang-hyun from the first-team entry and called up Seok Jung-woo ahead of the match.

Before the game, coach Lee Soo-yong said, "We are using the best performance player in the second division as a starting player today," adding, "It was like that last year, and whenever there were injuries or ups and downs, we called up the best-prepared player in the second division." I'm going to do that again this year because the effect has been a supporting force for the team last season," he said.

However, Seok Jung-woo, who took the opportunity for the first time this season, was also not free from the nightmare that hit the SSG infield. He caught Moon Sung-joo's ball well with one out in the first inning, but he made a bad pitch and recorded an error. It was fortunate that it did not lead to a loss.

Right fielder Han Yu-sum's fantastic defense came out one after another in the first and second innings, but it did not easily change the atmosphere. In the third inning, Kim Jihoon Choi's error led to two runs, and he completely destroyed himself in the fourth inning.

The defense in the fourth inning drew sighs from viewers. Hong Chang-ki's hit was on the verge of losing an additional run with one out and third base due to Park Hae-min's sacrifice bunt after a double by Oh Ji-hwan. Seok Jung-woo's disappointing defense came out again this time. Seok Jung-woo threw the ball straight home. It was a good choice to try, but the problem was the throwing accuracy. The throw went in the opposite direction of the runner's progress, and in the meantime, Oh Ji-hwan touched the home plate. The results were not reversed after the video reading.

Park Dong-won's ball then went to third baseman Choi Jeong, who failed to catch it at once, and the ball flowed to the side and failed to add an out count. Shin Min-jae's ground ball went back to Seok Jung-woo with one out and runners on the first and second bases. It was one out, but as if the operation came out, the runners started early, but Seok Jung-woo played under-toss toward second base. In a disappointing judgment, Park Dong-won stepped on the second base, and hitter Shin Min-jae stepped on the first base leisurely. Then, when Chun Sung-ho hit a ground ball to the first base, the third baseman headed home. At this time, there was a way for first baseman Ko Myung-joon to spray the ball home or second base to make a double-out or prevent a run, but he was satisfied with increasing the out count by stepping on the first base himself.

Oh Ji-hwan's fastball came out in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out and one on the first base, and Seok Jung-woo tried to blow but failed to block the ball. The ball was fast and the official record was a hit, but it looked like a hit that could have been caught. SSG bench thought no different. In the end, he also changed the second baseman in the process of lowering starter Anthony Beniziano and raising Moon Seung-won. Jung Joon-jae was put in place of Seok Jung-woo.

However, even after that, the SSG defense did not easily stabilize. Following Park Hae-min's timely RBI, shortstop Park Sung-han made a fatal error with the bases loaded with one out following Hong Chang-ki's hit ball. After catching a hit to shortstop, he threw to third base, and the ball went over the height and in the meantime, two runners headed home.

Then, when Shin Min-jae hit a ground ball to the first base, Ko Myung-joon played a game at home, but the throw came off. It was recorded as a fielder's choice, but it was actually a fumble play. Of the nine runs he gave up until the fifth inning, only four earned runs.

In the sixth inning, Park Sung-han failed to catch Oh Ji-hwan's fly ball with one out and one on the first base. The official record was a hit to the middle, but there was a lot of disappointment again this time. There were no additional runs, but it was a scene that had to be revived.
