The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced before 2 p.m. on the 21st that the suspended game of the first game of the Korean Series, which was scheduled to be held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju from 4 p.m. on the 22nd, and the second game, which was scheduled to be held at 6:30 p.m., were postponed on the 23rd (Wednesday).
More than 2 hours to go before the start of the postponed Suspended Game 1. It wasn't raining at the time of the cancellation announcement. It was an unusual quick announcement.
Why did I do that.
KBO judged that it would be difficult to hold the normal game at 4 p.m. because the ground maintenance time for the normal game is expected to be more than 3 hours due to a large amount of rain from the previous day to the morning. 'We have a rain forecast from the Korea Meteorological Administration from the afternoon, so we decided to postpone both games.'"
Kim Si-jin, chairman of the KBO's game management committee, said "When I accompanied the game commissioner around the ground, it is expected to take about four hours to maintain it. It's raining a lot and the ground condition is not very good."

On the 21st, the first game was delayed by 66 minutes due to rain. He repeated three times that he laid a large tarpaulin in the rain and walked.
There was also a forecast from the Korea Meteorological Administration that the rain would become thicker as the night progressed. Nevertheless, the game went ahead, leading to the first suspended game in postseason history.
The unreasonable process of forcing the game caused unnecessary misunderstanding.
Samsung, which moved from Seoul to Gwangju after taking a day off after playing four playoff games against LG, had no choice but to welcome rain in the first round.
However, the game was pushed ahead in the rain, resulting in a suspension game that was feared.
Samsung lost only its most reliable ace card, Won Tae-in, to a forced steel plate. Won Tae-in was playing two hits, four outs, and three strikeouts until the fifth inning. a situation in which the fifth inning was finished with only 66 pitches. If the game continued, it was a pace that could be played at least six times and at most seven times. On the other hand, KIA starter Nail, who returned from injury, threw 76 pitches over the already scheduled 70 pitches and went down the mound with four hits and one run in five innings.

"I'm very embarrassed because there's a situation that doesn't happen well even during the season. These days, I'm much more intelligent (weather), and I've been worried about that since the beginning. I was worried about getting cut off in the middle after using the starting pitcher, but that's a shame. Won Tae-in was pitching really well today. The number of pitches as well. There are a lot of things that I'm disappointed about. "It's a shame on the offensive side because it was cut off when the flow was coming over to us with a home run."
Coach Park Jin-man said in an interview after canceling the rain on the 22nd, `I told you all about my belief yesterday. It's all over with yesterday's situation. There are injured players, but there is something I thought sensitively about. I think it was fortunate that the players of both teams passed without injury due to rain yesterday," he said with a bone in his mouth. Regarding the disadvantage of canceling the rain, he said "Apart from the disadvantage, a situation has been created in which players can perform well depending on normal ground conditions. Conditions are the same for us and our opponents. I don't think we should be ready."
Samsung fans are also going crazy. Fans complained of unfairness, saying 'I should have canceled it in the first place, or if it had started, I should have done it by the end of the sixth inning' Only Won Tae-in was used, and the game was cut off from the chance.
The decision to postpone the rainy season on the 22nd is not unfavorable to Samsung.
Won Tae-in, who threw 66 pitches in the first game on the 21st, can play in the fourth game of Daegu on the 26th after a four-day break. Reyes, who pitched 110 pitches in Game 4 of the playoffs against LG on the 19th, will also be able to take another day off and play in Game 3 on the 25th after a five-day break. It's an extra day of rest that will greatly help you recover your condition.

Following the first game's starting nail, Yang Hyun-jong Lauer Yoon Young-chul (Kim Do-hyun) is in the starting order, and KIA, which has the upper hand in the bullpen, had better continue the game to recover its batting sense quickly.
an early decision to cancel the rain. Fortunately, it began to rain at Champions Field at 4 p.m., when the remaining games of the first round were scheduled.
The rest of the first game will resume with Samsung's offense no-out first and second base in the top of the sixth inning, when the game was suspended from 4 p.m. on the 23rd. If it is tied until the ninth inning, it will lead to extra time. Game 2 begins one hour after the end of Game 1. If the first leg ends before 5:30 p.m., the second leg begins at 6:30 p.m. as scheduled.
