He gave away 18 dunes. He led most of the game, but he couldn't expect to win. It was a disaster that clearly showed the disastrous mound situation of the Hanwha Eagles.

Hanwha led 5-0 in the home game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 14th, but lost 5-6 in the 7, 8, and 9th innings.

On this day, the 17,000 stands at Hanwha Life Ball Park were full. He was expected to win in front of his home fans, who had sold out for nine consecutive games since the opening, but it was disappointing with an unexpected ending.

Until the end of the seventh inning, the atmosphere was good. Starter Moon Dong-ju pitched 102 pitches in five innings, giving up six hits and five strikeouts. Although there were not a few hits and walks, he overcame the crisis with bold pitches at every moment of the crisis.

In the top of the first inning, with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, he lured Ryu Ji-hyuk with a fork ball to end the run crisis with a ground ball to the first base, and in the fifth inning, he walked Park Seung-gyu with one out, Kim Ji-chan hit, and walked Choi Hyung-woo again, causing a full base crisis, but he continued his scoreless pitch with a powerful fork ball once again.

The batters added two points in the third inning, two points in the fourth inning, and one point in the sixth inning, making Moon Dong-ju look forward to his second victory of the season. He also showed remarkable concentration in the second company and accumulated each point by team batting.

He seemed to overcome the crisis well in the bullpen. Moon Dong-ju, who also took the mound in the sixth inning, was shaken by consecutive hits by Ryu Ji-hyuk and Jeon Byung-woo, but Kim Jong-soo put out the fire. Despite the difficult situation with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, he struck out Kang Min-ho with a swing and miss, and then walked Lee Sung-kyu, but induced pinch hitter Yang Woo-hyun to catch a leading runner at home, and then turned Park Seung-gyu into a ground ball to shortstop to maintain a four-run lead.

In the top of the seventh inning, Park Sang-won took the mound and was shaken, and even Lee Min-woo gave up a walk and was on the verge of loading the bases with no outs, but Jung Woo-joo gave the win with the least run. He allowed a walk to Ryu Ji-hyuk and gave up one run, but he induced Jeon Byung-woo to hit a ground ball toward third base, inducing a double play to the catcher-1 and returning Kang Min-ho to the center field fly ball.

There was a big crack in the top of the eighth inning. Lee Sang-kyu allowed Lee Sung-kyu to walk, and Cho Dong-wook, who took the mound later, walked Kim Ji-chan after taking two outs. Hanwha Bench had closer Kim Seo-hyun take the mound for a four-out save, but as a result, it shook hands.

Kim Seo-hyun, who eventually allowed a walk after a 10-pitch match with Diaz, allowed a straight walk against Ryu Ji-hyuk, who has the best hitting sense in Samsung, and gave up another point. He committed a wild pitch in a situation where a single hit could tie the game and was chased to the bottom of his chin by one point. He barely took a breather by turning Jeon Byung-woo into a ground ball to shortstop.

However, he failed to stabilize even in the ninth inning. After being hit by leadoff hitter Park Se-hyuk, Lee Sung-kyu's sacrifice bunt made it to second base with one out, and Kim Jae-sang walked straight and gave up a hit ball to Park Seung-kyu, causing a one-out bases-loaded crisis. He induced Kim Ji-chan to hit a ground ball to the second base and erased the run through a home game, but allowed Choi Hyung-woo to walk again, eventually allowing a 5-5 tie. Nevertheless, Hanwha's bench did not move, and only after being reversed by giving Lee Hae-seung another walk, Hwang Jun-seo was called up to catch one of the remaining outcounts.

As a result, Kim Seo-hyun gave up four points with a maximum speed of 152 km per hour and a wild pitch even with a threatening breaking ball. The earned run was three points, but he was directly or indirectly responsible for five of the six runs, allowing seven outs alone.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, there was no reversal. After a series of futile runs, the atmosphere was completely crossed, and in the end, the batters withdrew helplessly due to the three-and-out and had to drop their heads to four consecutive losses.

He used nine bullpen pitchers alone, but all but Hwang Joon-seo, who took the mound at the end, recorded all four outs. This shows how much Hanwha's mound is shaking.
