Kim Do-young (KIA Tigers) was replaced during the match against the Dominican Republic. Kim Do-young was replaced by Na Seung-yeop after complaining of discomfort in his left hip in the process of blocking Cespedes' stolen base at second base with two outs in the top of the sixth inning when he was trailing 0-5 in the fourth Group B match of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 at Taipei Tianmu Stadium in Taiwan on the 16th (Korea time). In order to receive catcher Park Dong-won's throw, he hesitated in front of the third base and stretched out his glove, but he became safe and replaced on the bench.
A KBO official said "Kim Do-young felt uncomfortable with his left hip joint, so he replaced it to protect the player."
As of the end of the sixth inning, South Korea is trailing the Dominican Republic 0-6.
