Kia won 8-4 in an away game against the Doosan Bears in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. With the victory, Kia has secured 10 wins (11 losses) for this season. Starting as ninth batter and center fielder on the day, Choi made three hits, three RBIs and one run from four times at bat, displaying robust batting performance.

Choi, who grounded out to the second base at his first at-bat in the top of the third inning against Doosan starter Choi Won-joon, scored an RBI single in the top of the fourth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, when KIA succeeded in turning the game around 3-2. Later, with runners on the second and third bases with two outs in the top of the sixth inning when the game was tying 4-4, Lee hit a timely hit to the left and added two RBIs. He hit the finishing hit on the day. As the leadoff hitter in the top of the ninth inning, he got on base with a double, Park Chan-ho's hit, and Hong Jong-pyo's sacrifice fly to score a point.
Choi Won-joon, who played in inclement weather that continued to rain, said, "It was definitely a difficult weather to play baseball, but it was not affected much because we all played in an equal environment," and looked back on the game, saying, "I'm glad that my team was able to make such an important score to win even though we haven't been able to do well in scoring this year."

Before the game, Choi had a batting average of 0.059 for scoring this season. He had one hit from 17 times at bat. When asked about the finishing hit to Choi, he said, "I had a hit in the scoring position for the first time in a long time at bat. After that, I felt comfortable with it," adding, "I liked Lee's ball so much that I put it down when I had two strikes. But I was lucky enough to have a hit."

With the previous 20 games, which was difficult to say that the batting average was around 10%, Choi Won-joon said, "I prefer to make changes, but I tried not to make changes as much as possible this year." Because the coaches and coaches trusted me and continued to use me, and the same left-handed hitters, (Choi) Hyung-woo and (B) Sung-beom, said a lot of good things. At the end of the season, he kept saying that he would never end up with this batting average, so I believed in myself and kept pushing," he said.
There is still a long way to go, but I can set a direction to go with the good memories of the day. Choi Won-joon said, "I don't know about hitting. Even if it's like this today, it's hard to tell you what's wrong with tomorrow's bad hitting, but I think it's definitely a process that's getting better."

Unfamiliar place for the defending champion, who is still in the middle and lower ranks. Choi Won-joon said, "I've won first place once, and everyone is chasing me because I want to do it again, but I have no doubt that I will be up there when it ends anyway. I think it will get better and better in the future," confident in his team and his rebound.
