A team that has been at the top of professional baseball for more than three years is often referred to as the 'dynasties'.
There are also many experts who predict the dynasty of KIA, the winner of this year's championship that overwhelmed the opponent.
What variables will there be next year right now?

After nine games away from second-ranked Samsung in the regular league, the team won the Korean Series with four wins and one loss.
But there are a number of variables to predict the dynasty prematurely.
First, a foreign player.
Ace James Nail, who is in charge of the league ERA title and two Korean Series games with a horror sweeper, is knocking on the major league door, while Socrates and Lauer are looking for another player with a replacement as their priority.
[Lee Bum-ho / KIA manager: James Nail still wants to try the major leagues, so I understand that we're trying our best to catch him]
The gap between Jang Hyun-sik and Jang who escaped to the FA must also be filled.
He took the mound in 75 games, more than half of the total this season, and in the Korean Series, he appeared in all five games and was at the core of the KIA bullpen enough to keep five scoreless innings.
Choi Hyung-woo, who is already in his 40s, and Yang Hyun-jong, Na Sung-beom, and Kim Sun-bin, who are in their mid-30s, are getting a year older.

, but what you think is the most important thing for KIA's dynasty.
Kim Sun-bin looked back on the past when he was in a slump after winning the championship seven years ago, and head coach Lee Bum-ho revealed the first thing to say to the players during his first training session next year.
[Kim Sun-bin / KIA infielder: (Winning) I think I took it for granted the next year. [Didn't we think we could do more?]
[Lee Beom-ho / KIA manager: I think he will tell us to do what we did, and I think we will be able to do as much as this season if we believe in the players and the coaching staff, with the thought of challenging ourselves again.]
