The long-awaited KIA-Samsung Korean Series Game 1...Which team will laugh?

[Anchor]
The long-awaited first game of the Korean Series, which has been narrowed down to a match between KIA and Samsung, will be held tomorrow (21st).

In addition to being a traditional rival, it is expected to be a luxury match as it is a showdown between the first and second teams in the regular season.

KIA, who showed overwhelming performance throughout the season and did not miss the top spot all the time,

Samsung frustrated defending champion LG with stable power and reached the Korean Series.

The two teams, who met in the Korean Series for the first time in 31 years, heralded a match without concessions as traditional rivals.

[Yang Hyun-jong / KIA pitcher: We will do our best from the first game with 100% condition in the Korean Series]

[Kang Minho / Samsung catcher: I don't think I have anything to lose now that the Korean Series has come up. I will leave the results to heaven and run without regret with my juniors.]

KIA was also strong against Samsung in the regular season with 12 wins and 4 losses.

KIA was dominant in both batting average and ERA, but Samsung had a lot of home runs and holds.

It is also worth noting that KIA had the most errors among the 10 clubs and Samsung had the least errors.

[Lee Bum-ho / KIA manager: I think we should do a strategy to take out every point at the time when we need to take out points, and we have a defense that doesn't collapse easily..]

[Park Jin-man / Samsung manager: (KIA) is a very strong team, but it has a loophole, so we can dig in and catch KIA once....]

KIA and Samsung met three times in the previous Korean Series, and Haitai, the predecessor of KIA, won the championship.

Another point to watch is whether KIA's winning jinx, which has won all 11 times without losing the Korean Series so far, will be maintained this time.

KIA predicted No. 1 ERA nail and Samsung predicted No. 1 Won Tae-in with multiple wins as the first starter in the first game.

It's YTN Yang Si-chang.
