On the 7th, Cho In-sung left a short sentence of "Wow in 20 years" on his personal account along with a picture of the interview screen of promising Hanwha pitcher Moon Dong-ju.
On the same day, the Hanwha Eagles beat the Samsung Lions in a game held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu to achieve their ninth consecutive win. This is the first record in 20 years, and Hanwha received enthusiastic cheers from fans as it ranked first alone. In particular, Moon Dong-ju, who took the mound the previous day, played a decisive role in his team's victory with two runs in six innings and became a winning pitcher.
Cho In-sung is also famous for being a fan of Hanwha, the representative of the entertainment industry. Despite being from Seoul, he became a fan of Hanwha after receiving uniforms and baseball supplies from his uncle who worked for Hanwha affiliates as a child. In fact, he was a baseball player in elementary school, and in 2014, he pitched at Hanwha's home stadium.
His love of baseball was also evident in entertainment shows. On last year's YouTube channel 「Pingye High School」, Cho In-sung was disappointed at the end of the professional baseball season. I feel like I'm breaking up with my friend at 6:30 every day. "I don't like rainy days either. Because I don't play baseball..." he once praised baseball.
Actor Cha Tae-hyun, who is also well known as a Hanwha fan, has continued his friendship with Jo In-sung, often cheering for Hanwha games. In a conversation with Yoo Jae-seok, Cha Tae-hyun joked that `If you have 2 trillion won, can't you buy Hanwha Eagles and bring all the players?' and made people laugh.
Meanwhile, Cho In-sung, along with his best friend Cha Tae-hyun, established an entertainment agency 'base camp company', marking a new beginning.
