"I'm going to give this car to my mother."

How happy would you be if you had a son and son-in-law who hit a home run and received a gift for a luxury electric car.

KIA Tigers' Choi Hyung-woo hit 'Awesome ' I got close to 50 million won for a home run. That is also the second year in a row. What's the story.




KIA won 12-9 against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 19th with four home runs. Among them, Choi Hyung-woo's wedge three-run shot in the fourth inning is the most impressive.

This is because it hit the right side of the outfield 'KIA Home Run Zone'. Since the opening of Champions Field in 2014, KIA has been operating the 'KIA Home Run Zone' in the same location. Every year, KIA vehicles of the flagship model are displayed, and the vehicle is given to players who hit home runs and hit them.

This year, electric vehicles 'EV4' are on display, which means that Choi Hyung-woo became the main character of 'EV4'. There are six trims, the cheapest model is in the early 40 million won range, and the most expensive model is well over 50 million won. An official from KIA hinted that "Usually in this case, a car with an intermediate-level trim is given as a gift."

Choi Hyung-woo enjoyed the honor of the home run zone for the first time last year. From 2014 to last year, only eight players hit the home run zone. Among them, Na Sung-beom and Socrates were players who received benefits twice, and Choi Hyung-woo also joined the 'Multi Club'. What's interesting is that all eight players are left-handed hitters. It is far beyond the right fence, so you can only go if the left-handed batter's pull hit it properly. a position that a right-handed batter can't get to. For the right-handed hitters, it is the 'rice cake of the picture'.

Choi Hyung-woo said "Actually, the hitting has not been very good these days. I wasn't confident. The home run was the idea of changing the pitcher and actively hitting from the first pitch, but luckily it came out. I hope this home run and car gift will be a turning point," he said with a smile.

Choi Hyung-woo said "As soon as the ball hit the bat, I felt it would go to the home run zone. Last year, I was half-confident, but this time it was too good for me," he said, showing off his prowess as an experienced person.




How do you plan to use this car. Without hesitating for a second, Choi Hyung-woo said "I'll give it to my mother." Choi Hyung-woo said, `I gave my mother-in-law the car I got last year. I bought my mother a car and gave it to my mother-in-law, but when I calculated it, I think it's been 7-8 years since I bought her a car. I think it would be perfect if I changed it now."

However, Choi Hyung-woo couldn't just laugh at the tremendous 'Awesome '. This is because teammate Lee Chang-jin was injured and taken to an ambulance while defending just before the game. Choi Hyung-woo said "I can't just be happy with Chang-jin's thoughts."
