Professional career

Due to his disappointing senior campaign in the first half of the 2011 collegiate season, Han was drafted in the 9th round (81st overall) in the 2012 KBO Entry Draft by the SK Wyverns. However, Han was called up to the Wyvern's 26-man first team roster in May which was the earliest first league promotion amongst the rookie position players of the 2012 season. He played in only one game before being demoted back to the second team in the same month. In July Han came back to the first team and played in six games going 2 for 6 with one run as a pinch hitter. However, Han was placed on the disabled list on July 27 due to a sprained ligament in finger after sliding headfirst at first base, and spent the rest of his season in the second team.

Han won the Korean Series Most Valuable Player Award for the 2018 Korean Series.[2]
