Jung Hyun-seung's eighth first team match, joining the sixth round (60th overall) of the 2024 rookie draft. He made a surprise start as a ninth-right fielder against the LG Twins on May 29, his debut, and made an impression with two hits in four at-bats, but there was no hit since then. There were more replacement business trips than starters, and he was excluded from the first-team entry on June 10 and reorganized in the Futures League.

It was evaluated as the "best rookie finish ever" to the extent that Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung), who holds the record for the most saves in the KBO League, felt like he did. He had two wins, four holds, six saves and a 2.34 ERA in 35 games before the game. During 34 ⅔ innings, he struck out 39 times. Doosan was the most reliable card in a crisis.
Chung Hyun-seung made a surprise bunt on the first pitch, but it was a foul. He then watched the ball out of the strike zone on the second pitch, and swung and missed on the third high fastball. 1B2S unfavorable ball count.

Regarding the moment of the match against Kim Taek-yeon, Chung Hyeon-seung thought he should hit an outfield fly somehow because he was on the third base of a runner and was in the infield forward defense. So I hit the ball with the timing in front of me, and there was a good result"I think the part where I played at-bat with the thought of hitting concisely because I haven't had a hit in recent years has led to a good result."
The hit gave the team a victory, but the Futures League focused on improving defense. He went down to Futures and prepared with defense as his top priority, and practiced to make as simple a swing as possible in the offensive part."
Chung continued, `I want to become a player who keeps improving by playing as many games as possible in the first team. If the fans keep watching and supporting us, we'll gain strength and become a player who contributes to the team"I'm determined.
