Lee Jong-wook, who joined the Hyundai Unicorns in 2003, worked for the Doosan Bears in 2006 and joined the NC Dinosaurs in 2014. He was an outfielder with 340 steals in his career and boasts wide defense capabilities. He continued to serve as the NC Dinosaurs' leader after retirement in 2018. He also served as the first-team running coach last season. However, NC decided not to renew its contract at the end of this season and decided to leave NC, where he stayed for 10 years, to start his coaching career with a new team.

After the end of this season, five of Samsung's coaches, including Yoshiie Tachibana, the first-team hitting coach, Lee Byung-kyu, the Futures battery coach, Lee Jung-sik, the hitting coach for Yook Sung-gun, and Kwon Oh-joon, the rehabilitation team coach, have been informed that they will not be able to renew their contracts. Tachibana will move to the Seibu Lions of the Japanese pro baseball league.
