"I looked around once...It's changed a lot."
The uniform he's wearing has changed, but is the mind of the 'Jocap' entering Sajik Stadium??All.
Cho Sung-hwan, acting manager of the Doosan Bears, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th, laughed, saying, "It's my first time coming to the interview room since the retirement ceremony."
He toured Sajik Stadium before the away team manager's briefing. He wore a Lotte uniform in the second round of the eighth round in 1999 and lived as a Lotte one-club man for 16 seasons until 2014.
Since his retirement, he has rarely been in touch with Lotte. He worked as a commentator until 2017 and later coached for Doosan and Hanwha Eagles. After returning to Doosan in 2023, he is taking the helm as an acting coach after former coach Lee Seung-yeop, who was dismissed as a defensive coach, quality control (QC) coach, and head coach.
"It's really hot today, but…"Sajik Ground has its own unique wind. It feels like you're leading me to the plate, and I wanted to feel it (like when I was active)."

Acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan said "Isn't Lotte doing well these days?" Doosan is also a little disappointed in its performance this year, but it is in the process of becoming a good team with young players at the center. Doosan also wants to play good baseball. I want to cheer up and meet Lotte on a big stage," he said, expressing his extraordinary intentions.
Still, Kim Jae-hwan's come-from-behind three-run home run in Jamsil KT Wiz on the 6th, when Kim Jae-ho's retirement ceremony was held, won a miraculous 8-7 upset. Acting coach Cho Sung-hwan said, `I don't know how many times I watched the highlights of the game that day. This is the result of players adding even a small force to Kim Jae-ho's retirement ceremony, which Doosan has done so far. I hope the players know that small power can make big things. I want to continue this atmosphere in the future," he stressed.

Rookie Choi Min-seok was selected on the day. It is a series of amazing performances, including two runs in seven innings against the Samsung Lions on the 1st. Acting manager Cho Sung-hwan said "He's a really good starter. Throw your own ball regardless of the pitch. It's so nice to see him attack on the mound," he said, expressing his satisfaction.
As for Ahn Jae-seok, who was discharged from the military, "You've worked hard in the military, and I won't rush." I'll check my physical condition and think about when to post it while watching him play in the Futures. Although he is active, he used his vacation smartly and practiced hard wearing a uniform. He smiled, saying, "I will appear a little more mature."
