Hanwha broke the 9th straight chain before the opening season and laughed on the first day of the season 11 years after 2009.

The pitching of the starting pitcher Serfold was dazzling. Until the 7th out, Sufold threw a perfect pitch that prevented SK hitters from hitting, hitting musasa, and losing points. After that, he gave 2 hits and 1 walk, but he kept the mound up to 9 times and led the victory. Wan Bong-seung, the opening match, is 15 years after Bae Young-soo in 2005 and is the ninth in history, and is the first foreign pitcher ever.

We helped the fold with a strong defense by the beast, including the new outfielder Jung Jin-ho's wonderful diving catch.

Kim Tae-gyun, who met after finishing the game, first thanked the medical staff, saying, “I have prepared enough to know when to start, but because there were medical staff who tried hard to overcome Corona 19, I was able to open and play like this.” . In the aftermath of the Corona 19, it was held as the first spectator in history, but he added, "I was more focused because it was a regular season than when I practiced it. I heard a cheering sound through the speaker. I felt a regular season."


Hanwha didn't even get 1 win with 2 draws and 4 losses in a practice game ahead of the opening. Kim Tae-gyun said, "I prepared hard during the camp, but the results didn't come out, so the players seemed to be stressed and struggling."

ESPN also introduced 'Hanhwa fans are famous for holding the rest of the game regardless of their score'.
