Swiss luxury Roger Dub’s wrist watch gift
The first thing Choo Shin-soo (39, SSG Landers) did when he joined the squad was to express gratitude to Lee Tae-yang (31), a team junior who gave up his uniform number.
Choo Shin-soo delivered a high-priced gift to Lee Tae-yang at a meeting ceremony held on the ground after a practice match with the Lotte Giants of the KBO League of Professional Baseball held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 11th.
Choo Shin-soo said, “Thank you for giving up your uniform number,” after delivering a super-high-priced Swiss watch brand Roger Dub’s wristwatch worth about 20 million won to Lee Tae-yang.
After a meeting, Shin-soo Choo met with the reporters and said, “There is nothing for granted in the world.”
It was a very attached number, but I was grateful that Taeyang Lee delivered the concession intention to the club first.”
“The watch was prepared in the United States,” he said again, saying, “Thank you to Lee Taeyang for making this difficult decision.”
17 is a special number for Choo Shin-soo.
When he was in Busan High School, he put the number 17 on the high school stage, and he insisted on that number even after entering the United States.
In the minor league days, he wore various numbers such as 54, 61, and 16, but after landing in the major league, he wore uniform 17 and made a big success.
Lee Taeyang, who gave over his uniform number to Choo Shin-soo and received an expensive watch, did not hide his stupid expression.
He said, “I don’t know if I can accept such an expensive gift.
I will die even when I die,” he laughed.
Meanwhile, Choo Shin-soo has been wearing Roger De V’s watch after signing a large free agent (FA) contract with the Texas Rangers for 7 years in 2013 for 7 years.
Choo Shin-soo was appointed as a brand goodwill ambassador in 2015, and Roger De V also announced a special edition product of Choo Shin-soo in 2016.
