Hwang Jae-gyun of the KT Wiz expressed his upset feelings for his former team Lotte Giants. Six years have passed, but the injury that Hwang received has not healed. On Lee Dae-ho’s recent YouTube appearance, Hwang said about his move to the KT Wiz after returning from the Major League in 2017, “Lotte was calling on me. He made me a fool.”

“I really wanted to go there,” Hwang said of his participation in the U.S. The posting in 2015 was also made in an effort to let people know that he wanted to challenge the U.S. However, the big leagues faced many challenges. In Triple-A, he showed a batting average of 285, 10 homers, 55 RBIs and an OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.785. However, he mostly played as a pinch hitter in the Major League, posting a batting average of only 15.4 percent (eight hits in 52 times at bat). In the end, he moved to Korea after a year.

Hwang’s focus was next. Hwang spent seven years playing for Lotte before heading to the U.S. In Busan, where Lee Dae-ho was absent, he played a key hitter with both defense and long hit power. In 2016, his last year with Lotte in the U.S., he recorded a batting average of 335, 27 homers, 113 RBIs and an OPS of 0.964.

Hwang Jae-gyun said, “I was well-loved by Lotte. That’s why KT came first, but they didn’t meet, saying, ‘I’ll talk to Lotte first.’ And the agent who went down to Busan replied, ‘You said you weren’t going to catch an internal FA’.” 안전 토토사이트

At that time, Lotte had three free agents including Kang Min-ho, Son A-seop and Hwang Jae-gyun. They needed to make a choice and focus. Hwang gave up early on and focused on Son A-seop and Kang Min-ho, former stars of the One Clubman franchise.

“How can I catch all three of them? I can’t catch them. I understand,” Hwang said. “I was in negotiations with KT, and an article came out that Hwang couldn’t even set up a negotiation table because he wanted the Seoul metropolitan area.” That’s when Lotte fans began to curse. SNS went viral. He didn’t believe me when I said no,” he recalled.

Lee Dae-ho also said, “I can’t afford it. If we meet again next time, I don’t feel sad. I have no choice. But I don’t want to come back after being hurt by such media play,” adding, “Then (Hwang Jae-gyun) really grinds his teeth whenever he meets Lotte.”

Lotte’s general manager, Park Joon-hyuk, is a man of great position who joined the Giants as an employee and has become the general manager. “I don’t know what (Park) Jun-hyuk will do. That’s when Lotte did,” Hwang Jae-gyun said. “He joined a good team called KT and won the title. I love KT so much now.”

Hwang Jae-gyun said, “My wife (Jiyeon) started straightforwardly. If you put your face in it, you won’t let it slide,” and showed off his “natural enemy” by teasing Lee Dae-ho, saying, “Have you ever won the KBO League?”
