[부산=이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] After all, the major league superstars had a different scale.
‘Chu Chu Train’ Choo Shin-soo, 39, wore a Korean professional baseball SSG Landers uniform and shot a big gift on the first day of joining the squad. It is an expensive wristwatch in the range of tens of thousands of won.
Choo Shin-soo had his first meeting with SSG player Moon on the ground after a practice match with Lotte Giants, a professional baseball game held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 11th. On this occasion, he delivered a gift to pitcher Lee Taeyang. Lee Taeyang gave way to Choo Shin-soo with his original uniform number 17.
But the watch is enormous. It is a Swiss brand watch called Roger Dub. A few years ago, it became a hot topic by releasing the’Coo Shin-soo Edition’ for Choo Shin-soo. At the time, the price of the’Coo Shin-soo Edition’ watch was known to be close to 200 million won because it was a limited edition.
An official from SSG said, “It is not clear whether the watch that Choo Shin-soo gave to Lee Tae-yang is the’Coo Shin-soo Edition’, but it is correct that it is a watch made by that company.” It is said that it is worth at least tens of millions of won, even if it is not the’Coo Shin-soo Edition’.
Choo Shin-soo delivered the watch to Lee Tae-yang and said, “Thank you for giving up the uniform number.” In an interview with the reporter, he said, “There was nothing of course in the world,” and “to me, number 17 is a meaningful number and a special and precious number.”
“I was grateful that Taeyang Lee gave way to number 17 first,” he added. “In the US, it is common to give a gift when you receive a number, but I also wanted to do something special to remember.”
Lee Taeyang, who gave over his uniform number to Choo Shin-soo and received an expensive watch, could not hide his stupidity. He expressed his feelings through the club, “I don’t know if it is okay to receive such an expensive gift.”
