‘Chu Choo Train’ Choo Shin-soo (39, SSG Landers) joined the team at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 11th. The practice match between the Lotte Giants and SSG held that day was held without spectators, but the baseball field was shaken from before the game started.
More than 100 reporters visited the stadium, and dozens of fans flocked to the ballpark to see Choo Shin-soo’s face for a moment.
Choo Shin-soo, who played an active role as a top hitter in the major leagues from 2005 to 2020, signed a contract with SSG and decided to go to the KBO league.
Choo Shin-soo, wearing an SSG uniform, received the highest annual salary (2.7 billion won) in professional baseball, and went through self-isolation for two weeks in Changwon, Gyeongnam, on the 25th of last month.
The attention was focused as Choo Shin-soo, who had entered the quarantine immediately after entering Korea, made his first appearance at an official appearance.
Choo Shin-soo, who was released from quarantine at noon that day, arrived at the baseball field at 3 pm that day.
When Choo Shin-soo, wearing a black short-sleeved tee and training pants, got off the arriving vehicle, the gathered baseball fans were flirting. One fan shouted’Cho Shin-soo Fighting!’ to Choo Shin-soo.
Although Choo Shin-soo belongs to SSG, it seems that Busan local baseball fans also visited the stadium because he was from Busan and expressed his extraordinary affection for his hometown.
After getting out of the vehicle and briefly greeting with the club officials, Choo decided to pose for a while in front of the photo reporters, then move into the stadium and stay in the away officer’s office on the first floor until the game is over.
The reporter’s interest was also hot because it was the first official meeting between Choo Shin-soo and the team.
According to the Lotte Public Relations Team, the number of reporters gathered at Sajik Stadium on that day numbered about 120 people, including reporters, photographs, and video reporters.
SSG coach Kim Won-hyung said, “In a way, a superstar comes to our team and lives together. Today is the first day we live together.” Everyone seems to be happy to greet me,” he did not hide his expectation.
