Kiwoom Heroes catcher Kim Jae-hyun was included in the starting lineup against the KIA Tigers and replaced.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki placed Kim Jae-hyun as the ninth batter and catcher in the match against KIA at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 16th. However, he soon removed Kim Jae-hyun and put a catcher's mask on Kim Gun-hee, who had been predicted as the fifth designated hitter on the day. Kiwoom excluded Kim Jae-hyun from player protection after complaining of pain in his left heel that was hit by a foul ball during the game the previous day" he said. Kim Jae-hyun was diagnosed with a simple contusion.

Kiwoom, which won 2-1 against KIA on the 14th with Choi Joo-hwan's walk-off shot, will start with Lee Joo-hyung (center fielder), Kim Hye-sung (second baseman), Song Sung-moon (designated hitter), Choi Joo-hwan (first baseman), Ko Young-woo (third baseman), Byun Sang-won (left wing), Kim Gun-hee (poster), Lee Seung-won (striker) and Joo Sung-won (right wing). Heysus will start.
