(Sports Seoul | Daejeon = Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) It is no exaggeration to say that the KBO League ‘Overall’ is burned. So much attention was drawn. In contrast, the results were somewhat vain. Still, it was fun to wait. Daejeon was shaken. It is thanks to the ‘Ryu Kim Daejeon’ of Hanwha Ryu Hyun -jin (38) and SSG Kim Kwang -hyun (37).

Ryu Hyun -jin and Kim Kwang -hyun are the representatives of Korea. Ryu Hyun -jin debuted in 2006, and Kim Kwang -hyun debuted in 2007. Since then, he has been in the best place. Ryu Hyun -jin won the MVP with the rookie king with his debut. Kim Kwang -hyun scored eight innings in the fourth round of the Korean Series in the first year of his debut. The following year, I received a regular season MVP.

They worked together with the ‘Taegeuk Mark’ and collaborated with the 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medal and the 2009 World Baseball Classic (WBC) runner -up. It’s not the end. I conquered Korea and left for the big league. Ryu Hyun -jin has been active for 10 years in the major league. Kim Kwang -hyun also showed off his presence for two years.

The last 26 days was the first day of the two starts after their debut. In May 2010, a confrontation was scheduled, but it was defeated by the cancellation of rain. Fifteen years later, the meeting was finally completed. The first confrontation between Korea’s best left -handed pitcher. It was just a baseball fan.

In fact, many fans visited the Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park. The road in front of the stadium was stagnant with early cars. In front of the ticket office, they were fans who wanted to sell on -site sales. Each fans waited for the game in Ryu Hyun -jin and Kim Kwang -hyun uniform.

On the 26th, Daejeon’s highest temperature was 37 degrees Celsius. It was hot because it was not hot. Such a heat wave was nothing compared to the fans’ heat for Ryu Kim. One fan I met before the game said, “I was in the second year of middle school during the Beijing Olympics. I watched baseball since then, and I liked Ryu Hyun -jin and Kim Kwang -hyun.

Contrary to this expectation, the first historic ‘Ryu Kim Daejeon’ ended in one inning. Ryu Hyun -jin has been shaken greatly since the beginning. Ryu Hyun -jin, who finished five runs in five runs, handed over the mound to Um Sang -baek. The expressions of the fans who visited the scene were also regrettable. After the game, Kim Kwang -hyun also said, “If you have a chance next time, I would like to add the best pitching in good condition.”

Still, it seemed to be a good memory for fans who visited the baseball field. Hanwha fan, who met after five times, said, “It’s a pity. But when will they see them stand on the mound?

The results of the game were different from many expectations. However, the fans’ baseball love, which was burned by the Ryu Kim Daejeon, was beyond imagination. July of 2025. Thanks to Ryu Hyun -jin and Kim Kwang -hyun, the hot war was even more burned with baseball. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
