“Senior Choo Shin-soo, now call me hyung” [현장:톡]

[엑스포츠뉴스 인천, 조은혜 기자] “The thing that’s changed the most right now is what I call my brother.”

Joo-Hwan Choi’s transfer to the free agent was an outside recruitment of SSG Landers’ predecessor SK Wyverns after 9 years. Above all, the joining of the thirst for second baseman Choi Joo-Hwan received a lot of attention and welcome. After that, Shinsegae took over the team, and the atmosphere changed sharply as Choo Shin-soo, who was from the big league, joined the team. It is not an exaggeration to say that it takes all the interests of the league, and a lot of spotlights have been directed to Choo Shin-soo.

Choi Joo-hwan, who met before the first game of the regular season, asked, “Isn’t there a lot of interest going to Shin-soo Choo?” I think the spotlight has been reset on the contrary, because even the camp has received tremendous interest. Nothing is bad,” he said honestly.

Now that it has been more than three weeks since Shin-soo Choo joined the team, Joo-Hwan Choi laughed at Shin-soo, saying, “Calling him as an older brother is the most different thing now.” He said, “Because I was a baseball senior I didn’t know at all, I called him Choo Shin-soo, but now I call it very comfortably. It was nice that you came to me comfortably without a sense of authority. I think it’s nice to see everyone in harmony and together as one. My brother came to win. “You said good things, but I also came to win. I hope it will be the season where I can laugh at the end,” he said.

Aside from Choo Shin-soo or the changed team name, it is a thrilling season for Choi Ju-hwan. Joo-Hwan Choi said, “Only one team, while using Jamsil Baseball Stadium, we first reached the opening at Munhak Baseball Stadium. It is also the first season of FA, but now I forget the contract and start with good thoughts so that I can achieve consistent results for one season. I hope I can quit well.” He expected, “I didn’t even expect from the first practice game with Lotte, but a home run came out quickly. Today, I want the team to hit only one hit at an important moment to win.”
