Last week, White's parents living in the U.S. and his cousins visited Korea together with his aunt Joo Joo-jang (Korean name Jang Hyun-joo), a former major anchor of the U.S. broadcaster 'ABC'. White's family has been staying in Korea for about three weeks to help him adjust.
White, born to a Korean-American mother and an American father. White's mother's family is considered a representative case of Korean immigrants to the United States. In particular, the aunt, Joo Ju-jang, is a famous person who became the first Korean-American anchor and made his name known as a broadcast journalist.
White's family visited Sajik Stadium during last week's away game in Busan to watch and cheer for the game, and went out to Seoul on the 12th, which was a day off. I visited Gwangjang Market and had a special time experiencing various Korean foods such as tteokbokki, sundae, bindaetteok, hotteok, and kalguksu.
Through the club, White said "My mother and aunt spoke Korean, so I could order food and see the streets together. My mother said she was very satisfied with her life in Korea and wanted to stay in Korea all year. Personally, I also remember hotteok because it was really sweet and delicious." Then "Next, I plan to book a Korean restaurant that I saw on the OTT program in person and go with my family." Besides baseball, it's really fun to have various experiences in Korea with my family."
White, who entered his mother's country with SSG's love call while developing his dream of becoming a major leaguer, has three wins, no losses, and an ERA of 2.54 in five games this season. White is scheduled to take the mound in an away series against the Daejeon Hanwha Eagles this weekend.
