KT held off Samsung 8-7 in Game 1 of South Korea's Korean Series at Suwon KT Wiz Park on November 3, surviving a late rally. Relief pitcher Park Yeong-hyeon helped protect the one-run lead for KT's first Korean Series victory at its Suwon home ground, after its 2021 championship series was played at a neutral venue. The result puts KT ahead in the best-of-seven series but does not determine the championship.
