“My wife is very fond of…the owner’s interest, motivating the players”
On the 5th, the franchise star Choi Jeong, 34, of SSG Landers, a professional baseball player, received a special gift.
SSG owner Jeong Yong-jin, vice chairman of Shinsegae Group, delivered Korean beef with’listed’.
On the 4th, owner Jung Yong-jin sent a gift of Korean beef to Choi Jeong and Choi Joo-hwan, who led the victory by driving two homers each in the opening game with the Lotte Giants on the 4th, and gave the’Yongjin Lee Hyungsang’ listing named after him.
Owner Jeong Yong-jin wrote in the listing, “We are very highly praised for conferring the’Yong-Jin Lee Hyung Award’ because he led the first victory of SSG Landers with his remarkable performance in the opening game in 2021.”
Choi Jung-eun, who met at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 6th, laughed broadly, saying, “My wife received a gift and loved it very much. I even put the listing on the wall.”
He said, “Before today’s training, it became a hot topic among players. The expectations of the players are high.
I think it will be motivating,” he said.
Choi Jung-eun continued to say that the joining of Choo Shin-soo and Choi Ju-hwan is also having a considerable influence on the atmosphere of the squad.
“In the past, when one or two of the main hitters collapsed, the entire battered line tended to collapse,” he said.
It has created an environment where everyone can strike with a psychologically comfortable mind.
When asked to rate the current opponents, he evaluated it as better than 2018, which swept the KBO league with tremendous team hitting power.
Choi Jeong-eun said, “In 2018, players with good slugging power were struggling on the other line.”
In terms of texture, I think it’s better now.”
