Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung introduced left-hander Kim Jin-wook's desire to win. He told Kim Do-young, who has become the strongest hitter in the KBO League, to skip it, but he won. There was some regret in that he violated the order, but he also welcomed the fact that his deep guts and ball power improved. 

Kim Jin-wook started the 2024 professional baseball game against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 20th and recorded four hits and one run until the third inning. While trailing 1-3 in the top of the fourth inning, no-game was declared due to heavy rain due to the influence of Typhoon Jongdari during Lotte's attack. 

He displayed stability by allowing one hit and no run in the second inning of the third inning when his team was leading 1-0. However, he was in danger of hitting the first and second bases after one out in the bottom of the third inning with Kim Tae-gun's dune and Park Chan-ho's heavy hits. He handled Choi with a fly ball to the left field, but allowed the tying run after Kim Do-young hit a left-handed batter. 

However, in the match against Kim Do-young, Kim Tae-hyung signed an autograph, but Kim Jin-wook fought head-to-head. Then, he suffered a come-from-behind victory by 1-3 after Socrates' double to the left-center field. 

"I've gained a lot of confidence. I told him to skip the game, but he just ran into me. I would have told him 10 times whenever he was fouled," Kim said with a smile. 

At the same time, he said, "Jin-wook is (definitely) better now. He showed 147 kilometers, 148 kilometers, 149 kilometers yesterday. When he hits me, he hits me." "If I didn't throw a lot yesterday, I would take three days off (against Samsung on June 24), but he will take the mound in the normal rotation on Sunday."
