Oh, KT Crazy FA Outfielder Choi Won-joon has been recruited for up to 4.8 billion won for four years

KT Wiz unlocked the latch. He signed an FA contract with Kim Hyun-soo under the condition of guaranteeing the full amount of 5 billion won for three years, and even had Choi Won-joon on the same day. The conditions are beyond imagination.
KT officially announced on the 25th that it signed a contract with FA outfielder Choi Won-joon for a four-year maximum of 4.8 billion won. The total amount of 4.8 billion won is 2.2 billion won in down payment, 2 billion won in annual salary, and 600 million won in incentives.
It's a truly startling contract. Choi Won-joon has been an outfielder for the national team, leading the KIA Tigers to an integrated championship last year. He has all three beats of ball, water, and week. However, his skills fell sharply ahead of this year's FA. He struggled in KIA, and eventually was traded to the NC Dinos.
He also failed to survive in NC. He has a batting average of 242, six homers and 44 RBIs. Applying for FA itself was considered an adventure. His grades were not only good, but he was also rated A. Compensation player bleeding could have been greater. When Choi Won-joon applied for the FA, there were many question marks about 'Why didn't you choose to repeat the examination?'
There was something to believe in. It was KT. KT, which needed to reinforce the outfield center line, made a sharp turn to Choi Won-jun when it missed Park Hae-min. And he gave me a huge contract.
Since joining the professional league after being nominated in the first round of KIA in 2016, Choi Won-joon has played in 872 games in nine seasons with a batting average of 279, 31 homers, 283 RBIs, 439 runs and 136 steals.
KT's general manager Na Do-hyun said, `Choi Won-jun is an outfielder with extensive experience in the first team and ball-play-state capabilities, and was recruited to strengthen the center line. It is expected that he will be a player who can perform better than now. He also said, "I hope it will serve as a new vitality in the outfield."
Choi Won-jun "Thank you for making a good offer at KT. I will prepare to perform better in the new environment. I will be a player who can contribute not only to individual performance but also to the team. I thank NC fans for their support.
