"Thanks to the fans who came all the way to Suwon and cheered passionately, our players were able to find strength."

Seol Jong-jin (53), manager of the Kiwoom Heroes, expressed deep gratitude for the enthusiastic support from fans who traveled to Suwon and shared the joy of breaking their losing streak.

On the 15th, Kiwoom secured a decisive 10-5 victory over KT Wiz in an away game held at Suwon KT Wiz Park during the "2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League." With this win, Kiwoom not only ended their two-game losing streak but also broke the frustrating six-game losing streak against KT, claiming a valuable victory.

Kiwoom's starting pitcher Ha Young-min held firm for six innings, allowing seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters, giving up four runs (two earned), securing his fifth win of the season. Following him, Park Ji-sung, Kim Sun-ki, Park Jin-hyung, and Yuto effectively maintained the lead. In the lineup, Park Chan-hyuk went 2-for-4 with one home run, two walks, and three RBIs, delivering powerful hits. Choi Jae-hyun also contributed with two hits in five at-bats, adding offensive firepower with a multi-hit performance. Additionally, Im Byung-wook hit his tenth home run of the season in the fifth inning, achieving double-digit home runs for the first time since 2018 when he hit 13 — an eight-year gap.

After the game, Manager Seol Jong-jin praised the lineup's collective performance: "The batters performed consistently across the board. Park Chan-hyuk opened the scoring with a three-run home run in the first inning, setting the early tone. In the third inning, he demonstrated focus after two outs to create a big inning and seize control of the game. Im Byung-wook followed up in the fifth, and An Chi-hong capped it off with a home run in the eighth, sealing the victory."

He also spared no praise for the pitching staff. Manager Seol stated, "Starting pitcher Ha Young-min, as befits a veteran, delivered stable pitching to cover six innings and fully fulfilled his role. The relievers who followed also maintained the lead effectively," encouraging the entire pitching unit that held the advantage.

Finally, Manager Seol said, "Thanks to the fans who came all the way to Suwon and cheered passionately, our players were able to find strength. We are grateful, and we will prepare well for tomorrow's game as well," turning his attention to the visiting fans who had come to the stadium.
