Hwang Jae-kyun took an actual at-bat during his retirement game. After striking out on a swing-and-miss, Hwang also participated in defense afterward, creating a rare spectacle. The 2026 KBO League match between KT Wiz and Lotte Giants, held on the 13th at Suwon KT Wiz Park, was accompanied by Hwang's retirement ceremony. Hwang, who served as KT's starting third baseman before announcing his retirement last year, was registered for this day as a special retirement guest. 2029.09.13.
