A call from Taiwan to “send all Korean baseball players to the military” did not appear to unsettle players who have not completed their service.

KT Wiz right-hander So Hyeong-jun had seen the provocation before taking the mound against the SSG Landers at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 8th. The game was the teams' 15th meeting of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League season.

So delivered seven innings, allowing four hits and one run. He issued no walks, struck out three and threw 85 pitches, earning his seventh win of the season against three losses.
