In professional baseball last week, LG's unknown hitter Koo Bon-hyuk was the talk of the town with two walk-off hits.

Koo Bon-hyuk wants to correct fans' misunderstanding of the exclamation he unknowingly uttered.

This is the walk-off grand slam of LG's new 'The Last Man' Koo Bon-hyuk.

The thrilling shot made director Yeom Kyung-yeop and Jamsil home fans shudder.

Koo Bon-hyuk was the hottest player last week, finishing the game with his own hands on the previous four days.

[Koo Bon-hyuk/LG: "Should I say that (the first walk-off hit) was not cool? So I wanted to play better next time, but I was more focused because that opportunity came quickly."]

Koo Bon-hyuk, a sixth-year professional, was a professional player with a total batting average of only around 16 percent until last year.

The last home run was in 2020, four years ago.

Even he misunderstood the walk-off grand slam as if he had uttered expletive exclamations.

[Koo Bon-hyuk/LG : "I said 'Wow, really' but it wasn't an expletive. (Oh really?) No. I think that's why you saw it because the mouth shape is similar. I'm not a person who curses!"]

There was a lot of effort behind Koo Bon-hyuk's batting in the 40% range this season.

After joining the Sangmu two years ago, he was reborn as a .300 hitter in the second-tier league, and after returning to LG, he went to work two hours early every day to train batting and clenched his teeth.

[Koo Bon-hyuk/LG: "I used to be a defense, but now I'm confident in hitting. I think I can do more without dozing off."]

Attention is focusing on whether Koo Bon-hyuk, the best hitter following last year's "Cinderella" Shin Min-jae, will be another hidden driving force for LG, which is aiming for the top.
