"I hope (Son) Aseob has at least one such good memory."

'This' doesn't end. Last year, shortly after Samsung Lions' Kang Min-ho advanced to the Korean Series for the first time in 21 years since his professional debut, there is a relationship that became a hot topic.

They are the most experienced players in the Korean Series. Kang Min-ho escaped from first place without experience in 2,369 games, the most in his KBO league career, and took the stage in the Korean Series.

Behind Kang Min-ho are Son Ah-seop (NC) in 2058 games, Jeon Jun-woo in 1725 games, and Jung Hoon (Lotte) in 1399 games. Coincidentally, they are all close friends. They are also the same colleagues Kang Min-ho spent his childhood with when he played for the Lotte Giants. Their records are also directly related to Lotte's dark age, and Kang Min-ho and Son Ah-seop did not have a connection with the Korean Series despite transferring the team.

Kang Min-ho performed on the stage of the much-anticipated Korean Series for the first time in 21 years, but lost to the KIA Tigers and finished second. At that time, he drew a big laugh with his comment "You can do it too" on the media day ahead of the Korean Series, but the tiki-taka with Son Ah-seop does not end.

In a recent interview with Sports Chosun, Son Ah-seop said, `If you don't win in the professional world in the end, it means nothing. Of course, I smelled the Korean series, and there was a good memory for Minho. It's a precious memory for you, but it's the same for me that I haven't won yet" he said.

Kang Min-ho also saw Son Ah-seop's story through an article. He said, `I wish Ah-seop had at least one good memory like that"We responded with a smile. On the media day, Kang Min-ho also cited Son Ah-seop as the player who is likely to win the championship the latest among his teammates in Lotte, signaling that the 'dis match' is not over.

I haven't forgotten how I felt because I didn't win the championship. This year is another opportunity for Kang Min-ho. Kang Min-ho said, `After experiencing the Korean Series, I felt more deeply why all teams are trying to win the championship.' `Before the Korean Series began, Choi Hyung-woo said so. I said before the first game, there would be a lot of excitement if we lined up, but the first game continues to rain??It's a pity that I couldn't feel that feeling because I was tired of my grass. Still, I think our team was able to start this year by setting good goals again."

Still, Samsung's goal this year is to win the championship. I already experienced it last year, and I can't be satisfied only with experience this year. Kang Min-ho said, `I think our team has a lot of power. I hope it will be this year, and I am sure that even if it is not this year, it will be a team that can win in two to three years. So I wanted to do better for the next 2 to 3 years," he said with a big smile.
