Lotte and SSG professional baseball team, whose game was canceled on the 3rd due to rainy weather, are fighting an over-the-counter battle.
First, the one who declared war was SSG. SSG owner Jeong Yong-jin, vice chairman of Shinsegae Group, recently targeted Lotte on voice-based social media, saying, “They will have to follow us.”
Lotte’s response was also followed by Vice Chairman Chung’s remarks. Lotte Giants coach Huh Moon-hoe asked, “Is it because we keep winning?” He also said, “I want to beat all nine clubs. (SSG) said, “Why are we only conscious of it?”
With the fact that Lotte and Shinsegae, which are sales rivals, have expanded their rivals into a professional baseball field, observations have been raised that the baseball world will have a positive effect on the success of the KBO league.
Lotte franchise star Lee Dae-ho responded, welcoming and responding to the rivalry. He said, “As a baseball player, it’s nice that the owners show interest in baseball.” .
SK Wyverns, the predecessor of Lotte and SSG, confronted last year with 8-8, but Lotte (8th) surpassed SK (9th) in the rankings.
