In the championship, a living 'legend and legend' met. KIA Tigers' Choi Hyung-woo welcomed Oh Seung-hwan of the Samsung Lions who visited Gwangju.
The first of three consecutive games between KIA and Samsung in the KBO League will be held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 10th.
Samsung's legendary closer 'Leader of the End' Oh Seung-hwan visited Gwangju with his teammates. Oh Seung-hwan will visit Gwangju for the first time this season after registering for the first team on the 3rd. Oh Seung-hwan, who started his professional career in 2005, is a living legendary pitcher with 427 saves in 728 KBO League appearances.
He made 27 saves last season, but lost nine in the second half of the season. Born in 1982. Oh Seung-hwan, who is well over the age of 43, is doing his best to keep the legend's last pride this season. Oh Seung-hwan showed an incredible muscular body at 43 years old. Choi Hyung-woo also approached and touched Oh Seung-hwan's hard forearm and admired him.
Choi Hyung-woo, who was nominated by Samsung in the second round of the sixth round in 2002, suffered from a young age release in 2005, but he re-entered Samsung like a miracle in 2008 after visiting the National Police Agency. Choi Hyung-woo began to play on the professional stage later than others, winning the rookie award late in the 2008 season in his seventh year as a professional.

In the 2010s, Choi Hyung-woo played as the Samsung Lions' undisputed No. 4 hitter. He was the main character of the Samsung Dynasty along with Oh Seung-hwan in the 2000s. He won six championships with Samsung. Ahead of the 2017 season, Choi Hyung-woo transferred from Samsung to KIA as an FA.
Choi Hyung-woo won again in the 2017 season as soon as he moved to KIA. In the 2024 season over 40, Choi Hyung-woo enjoyed the joy of achieving an integrated championship with KIA.
When Choi Hyung-woo found Oh Seung-hwan who appeared at the Gwangju Championship, he ran happily and held hands. The two leaders of the Samsung Dynasty warmly greeted each other by asking how they were doing.
Choi Hyung-woo has been performing incredibly this season, hitting a batting average of 3.35 and 10 home runs. Oh Seung-hwan, who is a year older than Choi Hyung-woo, is also working hard to finish his career in glory.
The two legends, Choi Hyung-woo and Oh Seung-hwan, who are well over the moon, cheered each other with a bright smile.
