Choo Shin-soo, 39, who became the No. 1 player in the Shinsegae Group E-Mart baseball team, stepped on Korean soil alone with his wife Won-mi Ha and three children (2 sons and 1 daughter) in the United States.
It is also ambiguous to find a new home because I plan to stay in Korea only during the KBO League season. Accordingly, the club provides a special haven as much as the highest annual salary of the KBO League (2.7 billion won).
Choo Shin-soo, who returned to Korea on the 25th, will live in the Yeongnam area for the time being. Go straight from Incheon International Airport to Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, and self-isolate for two weeks at an accommodation provided by the club. The club communicated with Shin-soo Cho in advance and provided necessary supplies and training facilities in the accommodation.
The reason why Choo Shin-soo is self-isolation in Changwon, not Incheon, is to minimize the movement of joining the team. The Shinsegae Squad, which is in the spring camp in Jeju Island, will hold a total of six practice matches in Busan, Ulsan, and Daegu from March 9, and Shin-soo Cho will be removed from quarantine on March 11.
From March 20, a demonstration game of professional baseball will be held. Shinsegae will play two away games with NC (20-21 days) and Lotte (22-23 days) at the beginning of the pilot game schedule.
On March 25th, a demonstration game will be held with Samsung at SK Happy Dream Stadium in Incheon, and it is expected that it will be the first home game in which Choo Shin-soo wears a Shinsegae uniform. Shinsegae will complete the schedule of the remaining demonstration games in Incheon and Seoul until March 30th.
After the quarantine is lifted, the camp life of Choo Shin-soo, who will accompany the athletes, is also over. If so, will Choo Shin-soo’where’ to solve room and board? As they prepare for the first season of the KBO League in earnest, they cannot afford to pay attention to real estate contracts.
Usually, when a player transfers, the family looks for a new home, but Choo Shin-soo’s family is staying in the United States. Choo Shin-soo is scheduled to return to his family on a plane to the US after the season is over.
After the game, Choo Shin-soo prepares a haven to relieve fatigue. A senior official of the Shinsegae Baseball Team said, “You have to treat Shin-soo Choo like a foreign player. We will provide a four-room house.”
However, they are not cousins with Arty LeWiki, Wilmer Font, and Jamie Romac. This official pointed out, “The house to stay in Choo Shin-soo is a different place from foreign players.” It is still unclear whether the club will support a vehicle that will become Choo Shin-soo’s’foot’.
