For the first time ever, SSG maintained the top position from the first day of the regular season to the last minute of the Korean Series.

<Reporter> In
the 9th inning, SSG ace Kim Kwang-hyun caught the last out with a straight hit at first base, and became the first in 4 years and 5th career after winning the previous SK in 2018, and from the beginning of the season to the last moment of the Korean Series. The SSG players, who achieved the first ever 'Wire to Wire' championship to keep the top, rushed to the ground all at once.
Shin-soo Choo, who tasted the first championship on the professional stage in their home country, Kang-min Kim, a friend of the same age as 40, and Han Yu-seom, the captain who returned to the awards ceremony after being taken to the hospital with a ruptured hamstring, were in tears. I did.

SSG dominated Game 6 defensively.
Right fielder Han Yu-seom, left fielder Lagareth, and shortstop Park Seong-han performed a hobi show to minimize the number of runs.
In the 6th inning, Seong-Hyun Kim hit a double in a comeback double and turned Landers Field into a crucible of enthusiasm.
Kim Kang-min, who changed the game with a home run in the 9th inning of the first game, followed by a tie-breaker solo in the 9th inning, was selected as the oldest Korean Series MVP ever.

I didn't even cry.
But when I'm in my 40s, I'm in tears.]
After a long journey of 7 months, Korean baseball will return with a challenge to the world stage at the World Baseball Classic in March next year.
