4 pitchers that come to mind when thinking of soul-stirring performances in the Korean Series

‌
Choi Dong-won in the 1984 Korean Series
Game 1 shutout win, Game 3 complete game win, Game 5 complete game loss, Game 6 relief win, Game 7 complete game win
4 wins and 1 loss with 40 innings and a 1.80 ERA in a single Korean Series
Even if this were drawn in a manga, people would have criticized it for being unrealistic
Park Chung-sik in Game 3 of the 1993 Korean Series
In Game 3, with the series tied at 1 win and 1 loss, he faced Sun Dong-yeol in a duel, pitching a complete game of 15 extra innings with 181 pitches, ending in a draw
After Park Chung-sik's fighting spirit, when Samsung's bats bombarded the KIA mound led by Lee Dae-jin and Lee Kang-chul in Game 4, I truly thought Samsung was going to win the championship that year
Kim Hong-jip in Game 1 of the 1994 Korean Series
A legendary game where rookie Kim Hong-jip of the Pacific Dolphins showed exactly what a pitcher's duel looks like against LG's Lee Sang-hoon
He pitched a complete game without giving up a single run until the bottom of the 10th inning, but the team's batting lineup failed to support him, and he eventually suffered a complete game loss after giving up a walk-off solo home run to Kim Sun-jin on his 141st pitch in the bottom of the 11th
Kim Sang-jin in Game 5 of the 1997 Korean Series
After being hit hard and taking the loss as the second starter in Game 2, this 20-year-old rookie in his second year since high school returned to pitch in Game 5, securing the championship with the youngest complete game win in Korean Series history
And less than a year after this game, he was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer and eventually passed away at the age of 22
