Game 5 of the professional baseball Korean Series will be held in Gwangju today.

KIA, which is leading by 3 wins and 1 loss, wins today, and it is a unified championship.

I'm also curious about Samsung's reversal card, which is on the brink of a cliff.

Let's connect with the reporter and hear more about it. Reporter Lee Kyungjae!

Yang Hyun-jong is the starting player for KIA.

[Reporter]
Yes, Kia, which has only one win left in the unified championship with three wins and one loss, will have Yang Hyun-jong, the team's symbol, on the starting mound.

He's already started in the second game and became a winning pitcher.

He had eight hits until the one-out in the sixth inning, but he allowed two runs and one earned run with seasoned pitching that did not allow consecutive hits.

KIA plans to end the fall baseball early by putting in a powerful bullpen one after another if Yang Hyeon-jong holds out until about the fifth inning.

KIA, like the No. 1 team in hitting in the regular season, is showing a scary concentration when it takes a chance, regardless of whether it is the top or bottom lineup in the Korean Series.

Veteran Kim Sun-bin has a batting average in the 600s.

Kim Tae-gun, who led the victory with a grand slam in Game 4, and Na Sung-beom, the center hitter, are also showing a hot batting sense of more than 350.

If KIA wins today, it will continue its record of advancing to the Korean Series 12 times and winning all of them.

It's been 37 years since 87 years since he won the championship in Gwangju, his home stadium.

It's director Lee Bum-ho's resolution.

[Lee Bum-ho / KIA manager: If we do our best with the support of our fans, I think Game 5 will have a good result, and we will do our best in Game 5 with the thought that we have to win one game without thinking that we won three games.]

Every day is like the last game for Samsung, but it's becoming a more difficult fight because the injured players keep coming out.

[Reporter]
That's right. The news was delivered yesterday.

Ace Won Tae-in, who said he would support his right arm for the team in this fall's baseball, has injured his right shoulder and ended the Korean Series.

Won Tae-in, who played in Game 4 following Game 1, felt pain and underwent a thorough examination, and was found to need up to six weeks of rehabilitation due to muscle damage.

I planned to start Game 7, but it didn't work out.

It is a series of bad luck following the departure of the starting corner and the leading hitter Koo Ja-wook from the injury.

Samsung's left-handed Lee Seung-hyun is the starter today.

In the regular season, he was not bad with 6 wins and 4 losses and a 4.23 ERA in 17 games, especially against KIA, which has many left-handed batters, he was the second starter and had a 3.00 ERA.

We need a turnaround in the lineup as well.

Ryu Ji-hyuk, Diaz, and Kim Heon-gon have a good batting sense, especially Ryu Ji-hyuk was strong with three hits in three at-bats, including two doubles to Yang Hyun-jong in the second game, and Diaz was strong with two hits in three at-bats.

This is the determination of Samsung coach Park Jin-man.

[Park Jin-man / Samsung manager: We're in a corner, so I think we'll have to put all our energy into the fifth game.]

[Reporter]
The match between the two teams in Game 5 of the Korean Series will begin at 6:30 p.m. today.
