[Miyazaki(Japan) = Reporter Han Dong-hoon of Sports Chosun] The story of Doosan and Lotte related to the Miyazaki camp in Japan is interesting.

Doosan and Lotte headed to Miyazaki, with many KBO league teams setting up their second training camp in Okinawa.

Doosan is traditionally Miyazaki. He has participated in an exhibition game with Japanese professional teams. Lotte will be affected by the exchange match with the Japanese team Chiba Lotte. I went to Okinawa until last year and came to Miyazaki this year because of Chiba Lotte.

Coincidentally, the two teams made a major trade in November last year. Doosan sent Jung Cheol-won, a must-winner from the Rookie of the Year, and Jeon Min-jae, an all-weather infielder, to Lotte. Main outfielder Kim Min-seok and Choo Jae-hyun and pitching prospect Choi Woo-in headed from Lotte to Jamsil.

Jung Cheol-won, who booked a must-win group at Lotte, hoped to go higher than his former team Doosan. This is because Doosan is a team that always plays in 'Witong'. If it goes above Doosan, Lotte is also said on the premise that autumn baseball is guaranteed.

Jeong Cheol-won said "I think our team will do well this year. I wish I could be higher than Doosan. Doosan is always a high-ranking team. I don't mean that I will catch Doosan, but if Lotte is higher than Doosan, it means that both teams are at a high place together," he said, praying for good performance together.

The reporters delivered 'Jung Chul-won's Challenge' to Kim Min-seok'Dusan Man'.

Kim Min-seok "I think Doosan will still be in a much higher ranking."," he replied.

Doosan and Lotte will play their first practice game at 12:30 p.m. on March 2 at the San Marin Stadium in Miyazaki.

Kim Min-seok "I'm coming in the direction I want right now. It's nice that the uniform looks so good on you. I want to grow further in the defensive part and show you persistent fighting with the pitcher at bat. During the off-season, I trained a lot focusing on that part."

Doosan Bears' squad left for Sydney, Australia, where spring camp was set up, through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 24th. Kim Min-seok, who was traded from Lotte, is taking a fighting pose. Incheon Airport = Reporter Jeong Jae-geun cjg@sportschosun.com /2025.1.24/

Kim Min-seok is Jung Soo-bin's role model.

Kim Min-seok "How can you learn a lot of starts just by watching him defend from behind?" Seeing how he was doing it in a relaxed way without being in a hurry, I thought a lot that I wanted to go to a position where I could do it in such a relaxed way. Strong throws are important, but I focused on practicing throwing accurately to the infielder."

As for the determination to meet his old team in the practice game, "I also want to do well. I think it would be great to see the older brothers who played together for two years. If I go to the game, I really want to get a hit. I will do my best to play baseball for as long as possible this season," he said emphatically.
