'Love Home Run Campaign' is a social contribution activity that Choi Jung and International Baro Hospital have been together for 14 years since 2012, and whenever Choi Jung hits a home run in the regular season, he pays for artificial joint surgery to one underprivileged patient in Incheon.
Choi Jung-eun recorded a total of 395 home runs in the regular season from 2012 to 2024, allowing 395 patients in Incheon to receive direct medical support. In particular, it hit 37 home runs last season, allowing it to cover the cost of surgery for 37 patients suffering from degenerative arthritis.
This season, he has recorded eight home runs so far, and the number of patients who can support treatment has accumulated more than 400. As each home run leads to patient support, the campaign is positioning itself as a representative social contribution activity that goes beyond simple records to convey practical hope.
Choi Jeong "I think it is because of the constant interest and support of many people that we have been able to continue the campaign for such a long time. I'm always grateful that a home run record can be a small hope for someone, but rather, I'm learning more"I will do my best in every game in the future and try to keep this meaningful campaign going."
Meanwhile, Choi Jung-eun achieved a new milestone in Korean professional baseball by achieving 500 personal home runs for the first time in KBO league history against NC on the 13th.
