SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 5th. In the midst of the Futures All-Star Game, 'Best Friend' met.
NC Dinos Kim Se-hoon (19) and Doosan Bears Lim Jong-sung (19) are from Kyungpook High School. Kim Se-hoon wore the NC uniform in the seventh round of the 2024 rookie draft (61st overall), and Im Jong-sung was called by Doosan in the third round (22nd overall).
They are the main players who won the Cheongryonggi championship in Gyeongbuk High School for the first time in 30 years. Thirty years ago, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop won the title with the Outstanding Pitcher Award.
Although they meet at Futures League games, their hearts were different as they were invited side by side to the Festival of Stars.
Im Jong-sung " (Kim) Se-hoon is my closest friend while working out as an infielder for three years. When I was in high school, I always worked hard and exercised brightly. "He hit well consistently and was good enough to be called the best defense in the country. It was even better to meet him at the Futures All-Star game." smiled.

Im Jong-sung was fast in the nomination ranking, but Kim Se-hoon made his first debut in the first division.
Kim Se-hoon came to the first team on May 5 and spent 25 days, and was also called up to the first team on June 30 as a special entry. Kim Se-hoon "I certainly had a good experience. I'm a rookie, but I think I was able to get to the first team faster than I thought. I had a good experience" and "I wish I could stay longer, but it motivated me a lot" he said.

Kim Se-hoon also left a piece of advice saying, `You'll be a lot more nervous than you think.'
Those who gained experience in the first half vowed to play well in the second half and in the future. Im Jong-sung "As there are more games than in high school days, it seems that the strength has decreased and the cycle has decreased a lot. There were times when the mentality was a little shaky. "I tried to bring it back up again." "There are still many things I'm lacking, but I'll do my best to make my name known as Doosan's third baseman in the future by playing a lot and gaining experience."He expressed his determination.
Kim Sei-hoon "I want to continue my good performance and contribute to the team in the first team. I will grow into an indispensable player for the Dinos."
