Every professional baseball player dreams of playing in the Korean Series.

However, the weight of earnestness is bound to vary depending on the footprints left by the player.

Son Ah-seop (35), captain of the NC Dinos and the oldest member of the postseason entry team, led NC in the playoffs (3 wins out of 5) against KT Wiz with a series record of 2 wins and undefeated, leaving only one win left to advance to the Korean Series for the first time since his debut.

Son Ah-seop, who debuted with the Lotte Giants in 2007, broke many people's expectations and suddenly wore the NC uniform after the 2021 season ended.

After playing exclusively at Lotte for a long time, the only reason he decided to move to NC was the ‘championship ring.’

In 2022, the first year of his transfer, NC was eliminated from the postseason and he himself had a poor year, but this year, he won his first batting title since his debut with a batting average of 0.339.

And NC went on a winning streak in this year's fall baseball, reaching the threshold of advancing to the Korean Series for the first time in three years.

Son Ah-seop, who is experiencing the postseason for the first time in 6 years since 2017 when he played for Lotte, has a batting average of 0.400 (2 hits in 5 at bats) in the wild card game, a batting average of 0.308 (4 hits in 13 at bats) in the semi-playoffs, and a batting average of 0.333 (3 in 9 at bats) in the playoffs.

He continues his steady performance with hits).

Son Ah -seop, who said, "The Korean Series stage is still a long way off when playing in the semi-playoffs with SSG Landers.

If I do my best every day, I think I can reach that stage," he said, "If NC wins the third game of the playoffs against KT on the 2nd, it will be a hot day."

I'm ready to shed tears.

Among the NC pitching staff, Lee Jae-hak (33) is a player who has participated in the Korean Series.

Lee Jae-hak, who was NC's historic first team winning pitcher in 2013, failed to appear in both 2016 and 2020, the two previous Korean series that NC had experienced.

In 2016, he was caught up in gambling suspicions and was ultimately cleared of the charges, but was eventually excluded from the postseason entry, and in 2020, when NC won its first championship, it fell into a slump and was not included in the postseason entry.

He succeeded in making a comeback this year, playing as a long reliever this postseason, appearing in 3 wild card and playoff games, earning 1 win, 1 hold, and an ERA of 3.86.

In the third game of the semi-playoffs against SSG, he was hit on the back of his hand by a hard hit, but luckily he avoided any major injuries and joined the playoff entry.

Jae-Hak Lee approaches the playoffs with the determination to say, “I haven’t been able to be of much help in the postseason so far, so I will try to help the team advance to the Korean Series this year.”

NC, which lifted the Korean Series trophy just three years ago, has seen major changes in its squad.

There are currently only six players with experience playing in the 2020 Korean Series: Kwon Hee-dong, Kim Seong-wook (outfielder), Park Min-woo (infielder), Kim Young-gyu, Song Myeong-ki, and Lim Jeong-ho (pitcher).

Kim Hyeong-jun (catcher) was included in the Korean Series entry at the time, but did not participate.

KT was pushed to the brink by NC's storm, losing the first and second games of the playoffs.

Most of the key players in this playoffs are members who won the Korean Series two years ago.

Park Byeong-ho (37), who will wear the KT uniform in 2022, has yet to experience winning the Korean Series.

Kim Sang-soo (33), who transferred ahead of this season, has multiple championship rings as a member of the 'Samsung Lions dynasty', but his last appearance in the Korean Series was in 2015.

KT expects a turnaround in the playoff atmosphere thanks to the performance of these veterans who are desperate for the championship.
