Kiwoom Heroes starting pitcher Hah Young-min (31), who snapped the team's grueling 10-game losing streak, left a warm message for his family along with the joy of victory.

On the 27th, in an away game against the NC Dinos at ChangwonNC Park in the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League', Hah Young-min delivered a brilliant performance with seven innings, one hit allowed, seven strikeouts, and one earned run, leading his team to a 3-1 victory. Coincidentally, he personally ended the team's 10-game losing streak that had begun with his own start on the 16th against Samsung, adding further significance to the win.

After the game, Hah Young-min told StarNews, "The losing streak had dragged on, and the team's atmosphere had become very heavy. It was tough, but I gave my all with the thought that we had to break the streak no matter what." He added, "Thanks to my teammates' great defense and home runs, we achieved a good result," attributing the success to his teammates.

However, on this day, Hah Young-min had another deeply felt reason that made his heart race just as much as breaking the losing streak. It was his family, whom he holds close to his heart.

Hah Young-min recently announced the birth of his son on his personal social networking service (SNS). However, behind the joyful news lay a hidden pain. In a post, he carefully revealed, "Actually, my son Ha-i was born a little earlier than expected (a preemie)."

Hah Young-min continued, "While my child was in the hospital, I felt heavy-hearted even while preparing for games at the baseball stadium. My wife went back and forth to the hospital to visit Ha-i and went through so much hardship." He then smiled, saying, "Just before today's game, our child was finally discharged in good health."

Although it was the happiest day, the responsibility as the starting pitcher for a team mired in a losing streak weighed on his heart with guilt for not being able to accompany his son on his discharge day. Hah Young-min bowed his head and said, "I wanted to be by my son's side when he was discharged, but due to the game schedule, I couldn't. I feel so sorry to my wife."

Hah Young-min conveyed his sincere feelings, stating, "My wife went through much more emotional hardship and hardship than I did." He then added, "Still, I am truly relieved and grateful that Ha-i could come home in good health. I will be a father who is not ashamed of my wife and Ha-i, who endured until the end," showing the image of a reliable head of the household.
