In the 2019 Korean Series, he was 6-for-12 with a clutch game-tying RBI single in Game 1, but the Heroes were still swept by the Doosan Bears.

The Seoul native only hit .247/.302/.371 in 2022, but he shined in the postseason again. He was 8-for-21 in the 2023 Korean Series, though the Heroes lost again in 6 games, this time to the SSG Landers. Song recorded a .263/.325/.358 batting line in 2023, and he broke out in 2024. He was selected into the 2024 KBO All-Star Game, and he went 0-for-1 with a walk against Won-jung Kim. He ended up hitting .340/.409/.518 with 19 homers and 21 steals, and he was the first player to steal more than 20 bases without being caught in KBO history. Song ranked 5th in batting (between Ja-wook Koo) and Chang-ki Hong) and 5th in hits (between Mel Rojas Jr. and Hong). He made it onto Korea's roster for the 2024 Premier 12.
