Lotte Giants has notified a total of three players, including two regular roster members and one developmental player, of their release.

On the 8th, Lotte announced, "We have notified pitchers Park Si-young (37) and Jeong Seon-woo (24), as well as infielder Choi Hang (32), of their release."

Lotte explained that it conveyed its intention to release the three players through interviews with each of them.

Park Si-young, who graduated from Chukhyeon Elementary School, Incheon Sinheung Middle School, Jeomulpo High School, and Yeongnam Cyber University, was selected by Lotte in the second round (31st overall) of the 2008 draft before officially joining the team in 2010. He later moved to KT Wiz before returning to Lotte.

He has appeared in 293 career games in the KBO League, recording 10 wins, 14 losses, one save, 32 holds, and an ERA of 5.58. This season, he did not get any opportunities with the first division team and continued to play in the Futures League, but ultimately received notification of his release.

Choi Hang, who graduated from Da-il Elementary School, Maesong Middle School, and Yushin High School, was selected by SK Wyverns (the predecessor of SSG Landers) in the eighth round (70th overall) of the 2012 draft before signing a formal contract in 2017. He later moved to Lotte through the KBO second-phase draft following the end of the 2023 season, where he was selected in the third round.

He has appeared in 388 career games in the KBO League, posting a batting average of 0.267, 11 home runs, 107 RBIs, a slugging percentage of 0.353, and an on-base percentage of 0.348.

Born in 2002, Jeong Seon-woo graduated from Gwandong Elementary School (Gimhae City Little League), Gaeseong Middle School, Masan High School, and Dong-A University before joining Lotte as a developmental player last year. Over two seasons, he appeared in 21 games in the Futures League, recording one win, one loss, four holds, and an ERA of 6.32. This season, his appearances in the Futures League were limited to just three games.
