Lim Chang-min recently announced his retirement as an active player.
Lim Chang-min, who joined the Hyundai Unicorns in 2008, went through the Nexen Heroes (current Kiwoom), NC Dinos, Doosan Bears, and Samsung Lions, and played in 563 games so far this year, recording a 30-30 record with 123 saves and 87 holds with an ERA of 3.78.
From 2015 to 2017, he recorded more than 25 saves for three consecutive years in NC, and in 2020, he recorded 7 wins, 2 losses and 11 holds, helping the NC Dinos win their first unified championship.
This season, he recorded a 4.85 ERA with one win and two holds in 16 games. Lim Chang-min was included in the wild card game and the semi-playoff entry, but was not included in the entry from the playoffs.
Lim Chang-min's retirement was announced through his wife's SNS. Lim Chang-min's wife said, `Maybe as the person who watched him the most closely, congratulated him on his retirement, and I also write lightly.'

Hello,
This is Lim Chang-min's wife.
The finishing post that he sent me to post was rather blunt than I thought, but it rather poked my heart,
Well ...
Life as a baseball player who doesn't have fast balls actually wasn't easy.
Even though I was doing well, a replacement was always mentioned, and it was easy to be ridiculed even in the moment of glory.
I had to survive somehow, so I analyzed, practiced, held myself together, and found my way.
Since I took on the role of the oldest member at an early age, I think I stammered along a path that I really didn't know.
A baseball player's life may seem glamorous, but he has never played other common sports like skiing or bowling in his life, and he was a little ridiculous when he went to the swimming pool and put his hand out of the water for fear that his right hand's calluses would fall off.
Not to mention diet and exercise. What hurt me the most was that I couldn't use the medicine properly when I was sick, but... The players said that it was too natural and that it was nothing.
20 or 30 years of hard work....
When I asked him what his dream of baseball life was, he said, "A player who can retire." I remember saying that.
Leaving the team he has been with for a long time, that dream has become real, but I give infinite respect and applause to a player who has lived so fiercely until this age.
And more fans who were able to meet us thanks to you.
People with this pure passion and affection sometimes felt jealous, sometimes grateful, and sometimes tearful.

Long messages, letters of support, cute gifts to wish you good luck...
It was loved as much as the retirement ceremony, so I'm leaving now with everything in my mind.
Looking back, so many things happened.
From the distance of Gangjin, to the place where the blue sky is here :)
Not only us, but all the players' families are working with all their hearts more than anyone else.
If the people watching love them with a little more warm heart, you will be able to see them become stronger.
We're going to take a step away from the life of competition and try to have various experiences for about a year.
It's going to be a long, long offseason diary.
I hope you will support this new journey as well, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
