Hanwha Eagles recruited Kang Baek-ho, a free agent, on the 20th. The contract size is up to 10 billion won, including a down payment of 5 billion won, an annual salary of 3 billion won, and incentives of 2 billion won for four years."
Initially, Kang Baek-ho expressed his willingness to challenge the Major League through the Paragon Sports Agency in the U.S., and was scheduled to fly to the U.S. on the 20th.
However, Hanwha became a sudden variable. Hanwha invested salary cap and transfer money generated by veterans such as An Chi-hong and Lee Tae-yang in the second draft of the previous day to recruit Kang Baek-ho and fill the amount of 'three digits' and succeeded in recruiting dramatically. For Hanwha, Ahn Chi-hong, Um Sang-baek, and Shim Woo-joon were not daunted by a series of FA recruitment failures, and they invested in ultra-high-priced FA once again, expressing their strong will to win the Korean Series, which was not reached this season.
However, in the process, KT Wiz expressed regret, saying, `We negotiated Kang Baek-ho first.' The resentment of KT fans, who lost the franchise's big guns in a hurry, was focused on Kang Baek-ho.
In response, Kang Baek-ho directly explained on his SNS that day. Kang Baekho is 'Hello, I'm Kang Baekhoposted a long post that began with '
According to this, Kang Baek-ho claims that "I have never received an accurate offer of a multi-year contract (from KT)." Also "The first choice was overseas, and if I stayed, I was going to stay with the original club. So I waited without a separate agentKT did not come even though it asked for the first offer on the opening day of the FA market. The first offer was presented when the departure date was just around the corner. `Do they really need me?' I questioned, and I felt that my priorities were pushed back" he said.
Then "Hanwha offered me good conditions, and I called KT to explain the situation until the end. But at KT, 'we're not that bad' was disappointed to hear the answer. I decided that the difference in the amount was not the problem, but that it was right to go to a team that needed me," he stressed.
Kang Baek-ho expressed his sincere gratitude to KT fans for their consistent support and love from the age of 20. I also didn't want to give up that love because I knew I had received a lot of love. It has always been a great strength for me and a driving force for me to get back on my feet. Time at KT is an unforgettable and valuable moment and a valuable experience. "I will never forget the fans' hearts and support." I will always keep it in my heart and be an unashamed player, a player who always tries. Please continue to support baseball player Kang Baek-ho in the future."

First of all, I'd like to tell you that there's been a lot of misunderstanding about my transfer today I don't know if this article will clear the misunderstanding, but I'll tell you the truth
I've never exactly received a multi-year contract offer And it was decided in a day, but my first choice was overseas, and I was going to stay in the original club if I stayed in Korea Without an agent, I was waiting with my heart to remain in the club without consulting with other clubs
In the article, there were many stories such as when I was going to leave the country and I met with the club three times, but the first offer was presented when I asked for the first offer on the opening day of the season, and the first offer was presented shortly before the departure date I thought a lot about it while waiting for that offer I started to wonder if they really needed me, and I also felt that my priorities were pushed back a lot
In the meantime, Hanwha offered a good condition and I called KT to explain this situation until the end, but we were told that it was not that good I was disappointed when I heard that The difference in amount was actually not an important issue, and I decided that it was right to go to the team that needed me
The reason why I thought about it this much was because of the fans After the stove league started, the only news I officially saw was the transfer that came out today Because I didn't have an agent, I couldn't do anything like media play at all and the situation was not good, so I got an agent again after thinking about it.
I just want you to know that I didn't want to give up that love because it was not an easy choice and I was loved a lot.
I would like to sincerely thank kt wiz fans who have always shown constant support and love from 20-year-old Kang Baek-ho to current Kang Baek-ho.

My time at kt wiz is full of precious moments that I will never forget in my life.
The joy of victory and the disappointing moments were all valuable experiences that allowed me to grow further.
There were fans who supported and believed in me at every moment, so I think I am who I am now.
I'm heading to Hanwha Eagles this time, but I'll never forget the hearts and support of the fans who always stayed behind me.
I will keep the love and consideration I received from KT Wiz in my heart, and I will always try hard no matter where I play.
Although the uniform changes, I will never forget the warm heart that the fans sent me for the rest of my life.
I will play harder to become a player that fans can be proud of anytime, anywhere.
Thank you so much so far.
And it will be a great help if you continue to support baseball player Kang Baek-ho.
Thank you.
