Despite his busy schedule, Coach Lee Bum-ho, who visited KBS, still vividly remembers the championship moments.

[Lee Bum-ho/KIA Tigers Coach: "I felt really thrilled at that time. I think it felt better than when I was playing."]

Leaving the sweet moments behind, Coach Lee has already started planning for next season and candidly shared his thoughts on the position arrangement of Kim Do-young, which fans are most curious about, and the promising player he expects to grow the most.

["I think it would be better for Kim Do-young to focus on the third baseman position he is currently looking at to improve in hitting, stealing, and home runs. I also think that Yoon Do-hyun will have ambitions as well."]

Having received the highest treatment as a head coach, surpassing coaches Kim Tae-hyung and Lee Kang-chul, the so-called 'Flower Bum-ho' is looking beyond just winning in his first year.

["Winning is winning, and it's over. I will do my best to prepare for a better season in 2025."]
