The first game of the Korean Series between the KIA Tigers and the Samsung Lions at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 21st was suspended due to rain.
The business trend tilted toward Samsung and then forced to stop. Samsung's Kim Hun-gon's first solo home run, which broke the 0-0 balance, came out in the top of the sixth inning, and Kang Min-ho and Kim Young-woong got on base with consecutive walks, and Samsung grabbed a big chance with no outs and runners on the first and second bases.
However, a variable occurred. As the rain that had been falling throughout the game turned into a thick rain in the top of the sixth inning, Kim Young-woong's at-bat was eventually declared to stop the rain. The game, which had already been delayed for more than an hour, was suspended again at 9:24 p.m.
The rain didn't stop and fell even stronger after the suspension. Eventually, at 10:09 p.m., a rain suspension was declared. The two teams will continue the first game from the top of the sixth inning on the 22nd and then enter the second game.

Coach Park Jin-man, who rarely expresses his personal feelings in official interviews, also expressed unusual discomfort after the game. I expressed it as well as I could, but even before the start, I thought it would be right not to play today. You shouldn't playthe doctor made clear that " This is because coach Park was most concerned about a situation in which the game was stopped after using the original person.
Won Tae-in, who blocked KIA's batting lineup without losing a point, had only 66 pitches until the fifth inning. Perhaps if the game continued, it would have been possible to pitch at least 7 innings and up to 9 innings. However, Won Tae-in cannot come out the next day or the day after. As it became suspended, Samsung was forced to change its pitcher in the bottom of the sixth inning.

It was well known that it would rain significantly from the start of the game on the 21st to the 22nd, and in fact, it began to rain quite a lot 30 minutes before the game began. The game supervisors examined the ground condition several times and considered whether to open it, but in the meantime, only the super-large tarpaulin was folded and unfolded several times.

However, there were also many stories about 'Excessive start of the game'. Even after the start of the game after a 66-minute delay, it rained steadily, and the crowd watched the game with all the rain.

There was also an off-the-shelf war among fans of both teams in the online community. As such, it is very unfortunate from Samsung's point of view. This is because even if the first game continues, no one can guarantee what variables the already broken flow will act as.
