KIA Tigers left-hander Lee Eui-ri drew laughter by sending a fierce warning to his former teammate Jang Hyun-sik (LG Twins), who won the integrated championship last year. Jang Hyun-sik, who was a must-win team for KIA, finished last season and signed a four-year contract with LG for 5.2 billion won. It was very unusual for a bullpen pitcher to hit the jackpot with a full guarantee of 5.2 billion won. Jang Hyun-sik smiled after successfully completing his first FA contract, but he joined KIA in a trade in 2020 and had to bear the regret of becoming an enemy with his teammates who had been in the same class for five years.안전놀이터
Jang and the Kia Tigers encountered each other at Incheon International Airport on Sunday. Coincidentally, both Kia and LG will fly to the U.S., the site of their first spring camp, on the same flight. KIA will fly directly to Los Angeles and take a bus to Irvine, California, while LG will fly to Phoenix, Arizona.
All Kia players were in the business class. Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun applied as the prize. Jang would have been in the business class with the club's support if he remained at Kia, but had to upgrade to a business pass at his own expense when moving to LG.
Jang Hyun-sik headed to the premium lounge to check-in, and first met and greeted KIA players who were checking in. In particular, they continued to exchange jokes with pitchers. When Lee Eui-ri and Jung Hae-young were interviewed by reporters, Jang Hyun-sik joined them and asked questions, drawing laughter.
Lee first joked, "Do you have anything to say, reporter?" to Jang, who was eavesdropping on the interview. Then Jang responded, "What's your goal?" and Lee laughed, responding, "My goal is to break LG."
When asked how Jang Hyun-sik felt when he went to LG, Lee Eui-ri checked his teammate, who is now an enemy, saying, "You can keep it out (of the mound)."
Jung did not just ignore Jang. "You don't look good in your clothes," Jung said, while Jang responded by saying, "The clothes are much better."
Jang Hyun-sik responded by appealing to his colleagues who ride the business class as a gift to take care of his stake. "I'll give you my account number, so if you pay me 100,000 won each, I'll pay for supporting the business class," he said.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop picked Jang as the closing pitcher for this season early on. As he received support from his club, he needs to show off his performance. While Jang garnered 91 holds overall, he had only seven saves. Although he is not accustomed to save situations, he is trying to adapt quickly to his new position. If he displays the results, he can also compete with last year's "save king" Jung Hae-young.
"He is a great senior (Jeong Hae-young). What kind of competition will he have with (Tongsan) 100 saves?" Jang said. "I will continue to be persistent to the extent that I am concerned about (Jeong Hae-young) from behind."
Jung Hae-young expressed her inner feelings, saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't do it more with Hyun-sik, but Hyun-sik also went on good terms, so I hope we can do well with each other while competing."
Jang Hyun-sik and KIA players bickered until the end and headed to the departure hall. KIA players have no choice but to be a little more comfortable now, but I will try to integrate into the team quickly by spending my first camp with LG players.
Jang said, "I think I've gotten a lot closer to athletes who work out together, but I'll get closer to athletes who worked out separately from now on. You need to get closer and get closer quickly to get better results. I'm thinking about getting closer quickly. I think I'll get closer if I buy food. I'll buy more food."
He also talked about his sense of responsibility in the first year of the FA. "If we take responsibility deeper, we will get better results and leave a stronger impression on our fans from the first year," Jang said.
