Choi Hyun-wook said on the fan communication platform on the 10th that `Yesterday's first pitch was so nervous that the baseball was missing. I would like to apologize to my friend and parents who are test hitters if I hear from them today or tomorrow"I guess he's excited to go watch baseball after a long time. If a young friend was standing, he should have thrown the ball slowly up close, but he couldn't think of it because he was shaking. I'm really sorry."
Then "It's okay to blame me and my fashion, but please don't blame other teams, my favorite clubs or others. I beg of you."
Choi Hyun-wook was the first pitchman for the game between SSG Landers and Samsung Lions in the first round of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League semi-playoff at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 9th. At this meeting, Choi Hyun-wook appeared in hip clothes and sunglasses instead of an established uniform, and made headlines with his fastball pitching as a former player.
Choi Hyun-wook threw the ball with strong power, but he couldn't control it, causing the ball to fall over the head of a child fan. As a result, the ball could have hit the child's batter's head if it went wrong. Some netizens said "It could have been a dangerous situation", he pointed out.
Meanwhile, Choi will appear on Netflix 'The Last Line Boy'.
