This tradition has been carried on by Lee Byung-kyu (52), the LG Twins Futures League manager, known as 'Labang'. LG's younger players dominated the early atmosphere by hitting consecutive 3-run home runs.

On the 29th at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium, Oh Ji-hwan started at shortstop and batted fifth in the regular-season home game against KIA Tigers in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League. In the bottom of the 4th with two outs and runners on first and third, he hit a 3-run home run to left field.

The stage was set earlier. In the bottom of the 4th, Shin Min-jae, the leadoff batter, reached base after shortstop Park Min dropped his hit. Hong Chang-gi singled to left, and Park Hae-min executed a bunt to load the bases. Austin Dean then flew out to shortstop.

Moon Jung-bin scored a run with a ground ball to second base, leaving runners on first and third. With a 0-ball, 2-strike count, Oh Ji-hwan took a two-seam fastball from Lee Hyung-beom on the first pitch, then drove the second two-seamer on the fourth pitch over the left-field fence. It was his third home run of the season, traveling 102.6 meters.

Before Oh Ji-hwan's home run, Song Chan-ui had already hit a 3-run shot to left field. In the bottom of the 1st with one out and a runner on first, Koo Bon-hyuk drew a walk. Song Chan-ui then crushed Lee Ui-ri's second two-seam fastball, sending it into the upper section of the left-field stands. The hit speed was 168.5 km/h, and the ball traveled 124.8 meters for a 3-run home run.

With two 3-run home runs, LG built momentum and led 10-0 through the top of the 5th inning behind strong pitching from starter Lachlan Wells.

LG's lineup today was: Hong Chang-gi (right field), Park Hae-min (center field), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Moon Jung-bin (first base), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Koo Bon-hyuk (third base), Song Chan-ui (left field), Lee Ju-heon (catcher), and Shin Min-jae (second base).
