"Where did the "Aebubba go?"

The expression of surprise from Doosan Bears hitting coach Park Seok-min, who founded the Aebubba ceremony, was captured.

The game between Doosan Bears and SSG Landers in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League was held on the 20th at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium.

In the bottom of the 5th inning, with Doosan trailing 1-4, Yang Eui-ji stepped to the plate. With one out and a runner on first, Yang Eui-ji powerfully pulled SSG Jeon Young-jun's second slider and hit a two-run home run over the left field wall, his sixth of the season.

The home run ignited the spark of a comeback. The first to greet Yang Eui-ji in front of the dugout was Coach Park Seok-min, followed by Manager Lee Seung-yup, QC Coach Jo Seong-hwan, and Battery Coach Jo In-seong celebrating with high fives.

However, the 'Aebubba ceremony' that fans and players were eagerly waiting for did not appear in this scene. Coach Park Seok-min could not hide his puzzled expression.

On the 15th, during a game held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagle's Park, when Yang Eui-ji hit a home run, Coach Jo In-seong was responsible for the Aebubba.

Seemingly remembering that, Manager Lee Seung-yup and Coach Park Seok-min pointed at Coach Jo In-seong with their fingers, but the timing was already long gone.

Ultimately, Yang Eui-ji, as if to start in his own way, jumped around and received a pizza cushion from Kim In-tae, celebrating with high fives with his teammates instead.

Coach Park Seok-min has been demonstrating the 'Aebubba ceremony,' where he physically lifts players returning to the dugout after hitting a home run, since the 3rd, raising the morale of the Doosan team.

This cheerful and energetic ceremony contributed to boosting the players' motivation and drew enthusiastic responses from the fans.

However, on this day, due to an unexpected "responsibility dispute" (?), the ceremony was omitted, ending in a minor incident. Coach Park Seok-min appeared somewhat disappointed, but soon smiled and refocused on the game.

Meanwhile, the game result left Doosan with only regrets. In the bottom of the 9th, trailing by 2 runs with two outs and bases loaded, Kim Jae-hwan struck out swing, leading to a 3-5 loss to SSG.

Doosan's starting pitcher Jack Log recorded a quality start with 7 innings, 4 hits allowed, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts, and 4 earned runs, but he became the losing pitcher due to a lack of support from the lineup. In the batting lineup, Oh Myung-jin excelled with 3 hits, but his performance faded in the team's loss.
