<Reporter> The
moment KT Kang Baek-
ho
caught a ground ball and stepped on the first base, the KT players rushed to the ground in unison and enjoyed the thrill of winning their first championship.
KT veteran Park Kyung-soo, who had a ruptured calf muscle in the third game, walked out with crutches belatedly, threw the crutches down, and enjoyed the thrill of his first victory, and shed hot tears with his teammates.
KT manager Lee Kang-cheol, who called himself 'the second person in years', flew into the sky, making his name in history as the team's first winning coach.
[Lee Kang-cheol/KT Manager: I am really happy to be able to win the combined championship that remains in the history of KT, and after becoming a manager (win), it feels good to receive the spotlight after a long time as things that have piled up on my shoulders go down.] In the
4th game, KT He took the lead by scoring 5 points with 6 hits in the second inning.
In the 5th inning, Shin Bon-ki, who played in place of Park Kyung-soo, hit a solo home run, and in the 8th, Ho-ing drew a two-run arch to put a wedge in the game.
KT, which ended the Korean Series with four consecutive wins for the ninth time in history, won the championship eight years after its inception and seven seasons after debuting in the first team, becoming the fastest team to reach the top as a new club.
Park Kyung-soo, who played an active part in batting until the 3rd game, was selected as the MVP of the Korean Series.
[Park Kyung-soo/KT (Korea Series MVP): (Woo Seung-i) I really didn't know this was really good.
I really want to be reborn as a strong team that can hear such a story as the KT Dynasty.] The
eventful 2021 season ended with the youngest team, KT's first championship, an 8-month long journey.
