As the Kiwoom Heroes finally snapped their grueling 10-game losing streak, manager Seol Jong-jin conveyed a heartfelt apology and gratitude to the fans.

On the 27th, Kiwoom defeated NC 3-1 in an away game at Changwon NC Park in the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.' The game was tied 1-1 until An Chi-hong's go-ahead home run in the bottom of the 7th inning sealed the victory. A decisive home run by foreign hitter Hyu-ra in the top of the 9th inning added to the win.

With this victory, Kiwoom finally escaped the 10th-game losing streak that had begun with the match against the Daegu Samsung Lions on the 16th.

After the game, Manager Seol Jong-jin bowed his head and said, "We are sorry to our fans for the prolonged losing streak," then added, "Nevertheless, we sincerely thank you for your unwavering support until the end."

On this day, Kiwoom secured a precious victory thanks to starter Ha Young-min's seven-inning, one-run performance, along with home runs from Choo Jae-hyun and An Chi-hong. Manager Seol praised, "Ha Young-min delivered a perfect pitching performance. He shouldered the role of a starter by working long innings." He further noted, "A veteran pitcher's outstanding performance rekindled the team's will to win." He also added, "The bullpen, featuring Yuto and Won Jong-hyun, effectively covered the remaining innings with scoreless pitching."

Manager Seol also praised the team's hitting and defense. He stated, "Against strong opposing pitchers, Choo Jae-hyun, An Chi-hong, and Hyu-ra hit crucial home runs at key moments, delivering decisive performances. The three home runs hit today lifted the team's morale." He continued, "The entire infield, including Seo Geon-chang, contributed to the team's victory with excellent defense."

Finally, Manager Seol encouraged the players, saying, "The players who gave their all to break the losing streak worked hard," and affirmed, "We will prepare well for tomorrow's game as well."

Meanwhile, Kiwoom is set to start with Wills as scheduled on the 28th. NC will counter with Riley. The outcome of the 28th game will determine the direction of the winning series.
