Context piece
- Lotte Giants closer Kim Won-jung has been hit hard again this season, despite a change to his role.
- His AC/DC entrance song, “Hells Bells,” once triggered celebrations because it meant Lotte held a late lead.
- Kim remains Lotte’s all-time saves leader with 169.
When the opening bells of AC/DC’s “Hells Bells” rang around Sajik Stadium, Lotte Giants fans once filled the ballpark with cheers. Kim Won-jung’s entrance meant Lotte had the lead and victory appeared close.
Kim built that association over the years and became the Lotte club’s all-time saves leader, with 169 saves. But this season, the familiar bells have taken on a different mood. The closer has been hit hard again, and even a change in his role has not yet solved the problem.
What once sounded like a signal of an approaching Lotte win now risks becoming a lament for a bullpen struggling to protect the advantage.
