I am Lee Dae-ho's successor.

Lotte Giants right-handed power hitter Han Dong-hee started at third base and hit fifth in the lineup in the fifth game of the season against the Doosan Bears in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 16th, and he hit a home run in his second at-bat.

Han Dong-hee appeared with two outs and a runner on first in the top of the third inning with his team trailing 2-4, and he launched a two-run game-tying homer off Doosan ace Jack Rogg. On a 1-1 count, he properly drove Jack Rogg's third pitch, a high-forming sweeper (122 km), and connected it for a home run over the fence. It was a huge homer that traveled 135 meters.

Han Dong-hee hit his first home run in 966 days since the Sept. 24, 2023 game against the SSG Landers in Incheon, which was before his enlistment in the military service unit.

Lotte instantly evened a game that they had trailed by four runs with Han Dong-hee's home run. The starting pitcher Park Se-woong, who had given up four runs in the bottom of the first inning, must have felt much more at ease.
