KIA Tigers played a suspended game against Samsung Lions in Game 1 of the Korean Series from 4 p.m. on the 23rd at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju.
The first game between the two teams was held on the 21st, but it was stopped due to rain during the Samsung attack in the top of the sixth inning. The game was not continued due to the continued rain forecast, and it was finally postponed to the 23rd due to heavy rain on the 22nd. The first game continued in clear weather.
The game stopped in the top of the sixth inning during Samsung's chance to first and second bases with no outs. Kim Hun-gon's solo home run leads Samsung 1-0. KIA, one point behind, was on the verge of losing additional points. Starting pitcher James Nail stepped down, and Jang Hyun-sik, who took the mound in relief as the second pitcher, walked Kang Min-ho, the first batter, increasing the number of runners to two.

Coach Lee Bum-ho avoided giving a clear answer. Manager Lee said, `I can't tell you which pitcher is going out in operation. I thought a lot about it yesterday and the day before yesterday, and from our point of view, I think it would be better to have a good pitcher`, he said, reticent.
Samsung is also in a situation where its operation can vary depending on which pitcher comes out. The fight became more complicated as the game was delayed by two days on how to create additional points on whether to bunt or choose strong ball at Kim Young-woong's at-bat.
In the end, manager Lee Bum-ho's choice was Jeon Sang-hyun, a key right-hander bullpen. In the first game, which resumed at 4 p.m., Jeon Sang-hyun took the mound in the top of the sixth inning.

However, Jeon Sang-hyun, who caught an honest bunt hit by Kim Young-woong, failed to bunt as he chose third base and caught one of the leading runners.

First of all, KIA laughed at the top of the sixth inning when the two teams agonized for two nights and three days.
