LG Twins Kim Bum-seok (20) was included in the postseason entry.

KBO announced 30 playoff players on the 12th.

The LG Twins and the Samsung Lions will play the first round of the postseason playoffs at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 13th.

LG succeeded in advancing to the playoffs after a blood clot with KT Wiz. LG, which gave up the first game, succeeded in changing the atmosphere by lowering the second and third games, but lost the fourth game and eventually failed to avoid the fifth game 'last game'. In Game 5, he won 4-1 with Lim Chan-kyu's good pitching and eventually advanced to the playoffs.

As if finishing second in the regular season, Samsung aims to advance to the Korean Series after a long break. Through a practice game with Sangmu and a match between Blue and White, he improved his sense of practice.

LG came out with the same entry in the wild card, semi-playoff. They made changes in the playoffs. Outfielder Choi Won-young, who served as a pinch runner, was excluded, and catcher Kim Bum-seok, who has long hitting power, was registered. Kim Bum-suk hit .241 with six home runs in 70 games this season.

Pitchers are Kim Yoo-young, Lim Chan-kyu, Ham Deok-ju, Kim Dae-hyun, Jung Woo-young, Baek Seung-hyun, Eliaser Hernandez, Choi Won-tae, Son Joo-young, Detrick Ens, Lee Jong-joon, Kim Jin-sung, Lee Ji-gang and Yoo Young-chan, while Park Dong-won, Heo Do-hwan, and Lee Ju-hyun have been registered as catchers along with Kim Bum-seok.

Moon Bo-kyung, Shin Min-jae, Koo Bon-hyuk, Lee Young-bin, Oh Ji-hwan, Kim Dae-won, and Austin Dean were registered as infielders, while Moon Sung-joo, Park Hae-min, Kim Hyun-soo, and Choi Seung-min of Hong Gyeonggi were listed as outfielders without Choi Won-young.

Samsung's veteran pitcher Oh Seung-hwan was missing, and Baek Jung-hyun, who fractured his finger after being hit by a hit during a practice game, was eventually not included. Also, Connor Seabold, who developed scapular pain, had no name.

Samsung's first-round starter Denny Reyes, Lee Sang-min's original Lee Seung-hyun, Kim Tae-hoon, Kim Yoon-soo, Lim Chang-min, Lee Ho-sung, Choi Chae-heung, Lee Seung-hyun, Hwang Dong-jae, Kim Jae-yoon, and Song Eun-beom were registered, and Kim Min-soo, Lee Byung-hun, and Kang Min-ho will be the catcher.
