[마이데일리 = 이후광 기자] Min Byeong-hun (34, Lotte) left a special message to Lotte fans ahead of brain surgery on the 22nd.
On the afternoon of the 19th, Min Byeong-hun promised a quick and healthy return with questions and answers related to brain surgery through’Giants TV’, the official YouTube channel of Lotte Giants.
It was on the 18th that the news of Min Byeong-hun’s surgery was heard. According to the Lotte club, Min Byung-Hun discovered a cerebral aneurysm in 2019 and has been continuously tracking and monitoring it through regular checkups at Seoul National University Hospital. And according to the hospital’s opinion that surgery was necessary as a result of the recent examination, he decided to go to the operating table on the 22nd.
Through a video entitled’A message from Min Byeong-hun,’ “I had a bad headache two years ago, so I had a self-examination, but there was no big problem at that time.” This happened. So I made a sudden decision,” he explained the background of the surgery.
As much as the brain, which is an important part of the body, is operated, the exact return point cannot be predicted. Min Byung-hun said, “The will to return is firm, but it is not a part that can be overcome by oneself. It is difficult to conclude that when we can return right away. “The goal is to come back healthy,” he said, “I am sorry for not being able to tell you the exact timing.”
Min Byung-hun also revealed that he received messages of consolation from many colleagues after the news of the surgery was delivered. He said, “I was very grateful for the contact of the representative players of each team.”
Was this the reason for the sluggishness of .233 batting average in 109 games last season? Min Byung-hun said, “I can’t say there is no, but I don’t want to make an excuse for that.” “Last year was a failed year.” If you have surgery this year and get cured, you can always play in good shape. I am sorry for the past part and I will pay more attention to it in the future.”
To do that, a quick recovery is first. You can play baseball well only if your health is supported. Min Byung-hun said, “It is most important to return to health. I will solve it quickly and show you a good image when I return.”
“I believe that our players will do well until then. (Former) Junwoo hyung and (hand) Asupi will fill in the parts that were lacking last year, so I will do everything well.” I ask you for your support.”
