When Choi Hyung-woo returned to the Samsung Lions, his former teammate Oh Seung-hwan also expressed high expectations. Oh Seung-hwan predicted that Choi Hyung-woo's transfer will make not only Samsung but also professional baseball more fun.

Oh Seung-hwan, who is considered the best closing pitcher of all time in Korea, retired after the 2025 season. Oh Seung-hwan received the Grand Prize in Ilgu at the Ilgu Awards ceremony on the 8th. Ilguhoe is an organization formed to promote the rights and interests of retired players and leaders in the baseball world. Oh Seung-hwan did not forget mentioning Choi Hyung-woo while delivering his acceptance speech.

First, Oh Seung-hwan bowed his head, saying, `I don't think I've ever won the grand prize in baseball, but I'm really grateful for giving me such a big prize at the end.'

For the time being, I plan to think about my second life and concentrate on resting. Oh Seung-hwan said, `It's hard to say the details yet. With the birth of a second child, it became difficult to go abroad for now. We're looking for a number of ways to help baseball fans and the baseball community."

During the stove league, Choi Hyung-woo's trip to Samsung drew great attention. Oh Seung-hwan and Choi Hyung-woo are the main players of the Samsung Dynasty. From 2008 to 2013, I ate a bowl of rice. Since 2011, they have won the combined championship for three consecutive years. Oh Seung-hwan broke up when he went overseas in 2014. Choi Hyung-woo played for Samsung until 2016 and moved to KIA. Oh Seung-hwan returned to Samsung in 2020. I met Choi Hyung-woo as an enemy. Oh decided to retire this year. Coincidentally, Choi Hyung-woo returned to Samsung for the first time in nine years immediately after Oh Seung-hwan's retirement.

Choi Hyung-woo also wore a Samsung hat at Oh Seung-hwan's retirement ceremony, which he attended as a member of KIA.

Oh smiled, saying, `Wasn't it Choi Hyung-woo's big picture?'

Then came Choi Hyung-woo and many young players improved their skills. I think not only Samsung's performance but also professional baseball as a whole will be fun next year. I'm also going to go back to being a baseball fan and watch baseball comfortably."

If he remained active for one more year, he will also play with Choi Hyung-woo. But there was no regret.

Oh Seung-hwan said, `I actually wanted to play with him a little bit. But there is no need to think that much now. I retired in peace. I just want Samsung to do better by joining Choi Hyung-woo."
