It's been a month since I was discharged. Kim Se-min (23) of the Lotte Giants looked back on his time in the military, saying, `Time to meet good people.'
He is now a professional baseball player. Kim Se-min is adjusting himself at the Lotte Futures camp in Taiwan.
Kim Se-min, a Gangneung High School native, wore a Lotte uniform in the second and third round of 2022.
Kim Se-min is the player who was selected as the third-round pick against KT Wiz and Shin Bon-ki and Park Si-young at the time of the trade. KT won the game through this trade, and Shin Bon-ki retired and returned to Lotte after his retirement as a broadcast commentator, and Park Si-young finished 'calculation'.
Now, Lotte's bill will be finalized depending on the performance of young Choi Yi-joon and Kim Se-min. Kim Se-min was selected as a player to compete with Jeon Min-jae, Han Tae-yang and Lee Ho-joon for the first division infield this year.
However, he was converted to a pre-season player. In response, Lotte said "Is the end of January (January 23rd) discharged from the military??The opening entry is difficult anyway. It means not to rush and slowly raise your sense of the actual game.

Kim Se-min said "There is no sadness at all. With the transformation of development, there is a lot of time to prepare. He said, "We are preparing for the season with a calm mind and increasing the amount of training."
It's true that I feel at ease after solving military service. Kim Se-min "Everyone thinks that when you are not ready, you should go to the military someday." Now that I'm done, I have nowhere else to run and I can focus on baseball"I'm preparing to show good performance in the future."," he said, holding himself together.
He finished his service as an active duty soldier in the army. The position is a correspondent. He surprised fans by participating in Lotte's closing camp at the end of last year, ahead of his discharge. He collected more than 50 days of vacation one by one and spent it all at once in his later years. Of course, it is to quickly adapt to the baseball scene.
"I met so good people in the military that I felt comfortable and had fun. Maybe that's why I don't dream of serving in the military. It's not a nightmare. Still, it's so nice to be able to play baseball again. As expected, I am happiest when I play baseball."

He also played without hesitation in practice games and showed his passion to throw his whole body. 'I'm happy that I played baseball.' He seemed to feel all over his body.
He did not show a remarkable performance in the first team, but he swung a fire bat with an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.856 in the 2023 Futures League before joining the army. Will we see Kim Se-min again in this year's first team.
