“There is nothing special in terms of height, size, or talent… I think jumping one step more and swinging one more step probably resulted in this result.”
I waved my hand at the first thing mentioned in the genealogy of the best Korean batsmen, the so-called ‘Chu, Gang, Dae, Yeop’.

“Can you please leave me out? I don’t think that everyone who played in the United States is a great player. I think it’s right for senior Lee Seung-yeop and (Lee) Dae-ho to be at the forefront.”
He said that he is not yet ready to become a coach after retirement, and that he wants to play the role of a father who takes care of his two sons’ baseball games for the time being.
Choo Shin-soo, who is enjoying the relief of not preparing for the next season for the first time, explained his affection for baseball, which he has loved his entire life, as follows.
“Even if I am born in the next life, I will play baseball. I think I can be compensated for everything I have done in my baseball life up to this point by saying, ‘You really risked your life for baseball.’”
