Kiwoom Heroes manager Seol Jong-jin (53) expressed strong determination to remain unaffected by the special event and festive atmosphere of the opposing team, insisting on playing the game strictly according to the team's "original plan."

Manager Seol Jong-jin met with reporters ahead of the Doosan Bears game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the 7th, where he was asked if he had any special will or strategy to overturn the opposing team's "celebration day" atmosphere. This is because Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, is scheduled to visit Jamsil Stadium for the ceremonial first pitch of the day's game.

In response, Manager Seol firmly stated, "I do not think of it that way (as the opposing team's celebration day)." He continued, "As I mentioned yesterday, every game is approached simply according to our own play and plan," delivering a weighty declaration that he would not be swayed by the surrounding atmosphere or events and would focus solely on victory.

For today's game, Kiwoom lined up its starting lineup in the order of Seo Geon-chang (second baseman), Lee Hyung-jong (left fielder), Hiura (designated hitter), Choi Ju-hwan (first baseman), Park Chan-hyuk (right fielder), Im Byung-wook (center fielder), Yeo Dong-wook (third baseman), Kwon Hyuk-bin (shortstop), and Kim Geon-hee (catcher). The starting pitcher is the "foreign ace" Raul Alcantara.

At the same time, Manager Seol Jong-jin addressed An Woo-jin, who struggled in the previous game on the 6th, allowing 9 hits and 6 earned runs over 3 innings, stating firmly that there is "no injury or pain whatsoever," confirming that he will be ready to pitch in the next game as well. Additionally, regarding Bae Dong-hyun, who has recently experienced ups and downs, the plan is to give him sufficient recovery time and then proceed with a build-up in the Futures League to regain his velocity and speed.

Kiwoom, which has proclaimed it will "go its own way" even amidst the festive atmosphere of the opposing team's home stadium, leaves fans wondering what kind of result it will produce in today's game.
