The 1992 Korea Baseball Organization was the 11th KBO season. The Lotte Giants won their second Korean Series though they would not win another for at least 20 years. Jong-hun Jang of the Binggrae Eagles set new league records for homers (41) and RBI (119), though both would fall by the end of the decade. Jang's teammate Jin-woo Song pulled off the unusual accomplishment of leading the league in both wins and saves.
