"Isn't it retirement to be congratulated by everyone?"

As KIA Tigers' Choi Hyung-woo said, everyone in the baseball world is celebrating the retirement of Oh Seung-hwan.

In addition, friends who were born in 1982 also added their hearts. On the 30th, when Oh Seung-hwan's retirement ceremony was held, a meeting of friends of the same age at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu lit up the scene even more brightly.




Friends of the golden generation gathered in one place at the suggestion of Choo Shin-soo, assistant manager of SSG Landers. Choo Shin-soo expressed his intention to Lee Dae-ho and Kim Tae-kyun to celebrate the last stage of his old friend Oh Seung-hwan.

In response, the two also agreed on the purpose and brought together players of the same age born in 1982. In response, players representing the golden generation of Korean baseball, including Choo Shin-soo, Lee Dae-ho, Kim Tae-kyun, Lee Dong-hyun, Jung Geun-woo, Chae Byung-yong, Park Jae-sang, Kim Man-tae, Kim Kang-min and Lee Seung-ha (former Lee Woo-min), visited the retirement ceremony together.

Although their teams were different, the retirement of their friend Oh Seung-hwan, who is the last active player in the era of Korean baseball, is very impressive.

Choo Shin-soo said, `I thought it would be really meaningful if all of our same age gathered to celebrate in the last minute of Seung-hwan. Each is living his second life, but today, I feel special because I can share my memories as a baseball player again. I also thank Dae-ho and Tae-kyun for sympathizing with the initial proposal. "More than anything, I sincerely congratulate Seung-hwan on his retirement."," he said.

The reunion of the last golden generation, Oh Seung-hwan's retirement ceremony, which left a big footprint in Korean professional baseball, was not just the last stage of a legend, but a meaningful ending to the encouragement of the golden generation of friends who have led Korean baseball together.
