When the Korean Series between the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions was held in 2002, Lim Chan-kyu, a child member, was a big fan of LG. I still remember crying when I lost the game in Game 6 and being scolded by my mother for not going to school.
The 'Elene' released her first Korean Series victory in 21 years last year, and now she is trying to release her resentment against Samsung. Lim Chan-kyu laid the foundation for victory in Game 5 of the semi-playoff, linking his long-awaited playoff with Samsung.
Lim Chan-kyu started Game 5 of the semi-playoff against KT Wiz in Jamsil on the 11th and recorded his first postseason quality start with three hits, two walks, four strikeouts and one run in six innings, leading to a 4-1 victory. Following the victory in the second round, Lim Chan-kyu, who allowed three runs (two earned runs) in 11 ⅓ innings with two wins and no losses in this semi-PO, was selected as the semi-playoff MVP by beating Hernandez, who was in charge of the bullpen in all five games.
Lim Chan-kyu's pitching was brilliant in the end game, which was eliminated if he lost. He gave up only one hit and one walk until the sixth inning. KT didn't even get a chance to score. After finishing the top of the sixth inning, he thought his pitching was over, and as he went into the dugout, he raised his arms and encouraged fans to cheer.

Lim Chan-kyu, who has been sluggish in the postseason, has clearly evolved into a "big game pitcher" in this series.
After the game, Lim Chan-kyu said, "I only thought about the team being able to win in the fall, but I'm so honored to receive the MVP like this." I'd like to say thank you to the fans who waited for a long time to see us do well in the fall," he said.
When Lim Chan-kyu, who was named the Daily MVP in Game 2, asked about him, `I think I know what's going on in fall baseball,' adding `There were some feelings that I've failed in the fall, but when I went to the game with that feeling, it backfired. "So, because it was good like the regular season as much as possible, it was good during the regular season, so I calmly thought about it one by one, one ball, one ball, and threw it slowly, leading to a good result."
I didn't expect to take the mound in the seventh inning. Lim Chan-gyu said, `If I had expected it, I wouldn't have done the ceremony…"I thought it was the last one, so I celebrated it because I wanted to make good feelings with the fans, but I didn't know it would go up to the 7th episode."

When asked about what he shared with Park Dong-won after giving a walk to Bae Jeong-dae after two outs in the top of the fifth inning "I think he focused more on the location after that because he was strong in the beginning, he said, "I think he wanted to pay attention to the location rather than strength now."
It's the playoffs now. Lim Chan-kyu is likely to take the mound in Game 4 under Yeom Kyung-yeop's current plan. It may change depending on the situation of the series.
Lim Chan-kyu said, `The team's victory is the biggest goal.' `Personally, I thought of losing to Samsung in the 2002 Korean Series. I really wanted to go up, but I came up. This time, I will prepare well so that I can avenge that defeat," he said of his determination.
