Ryu Hyun-jin and other senior Hanwha Eagles players jumped into the winter sea.
Ryu posted a video of himself in the sea on his SNS account on Wednesday. Along with Ryu were Lee Jae-won, Jang Si-hwan, Choi Jae-hoon, Chae Eun-sung, An Chi-hong, Jang Min-jae, and Lee Tae-yang, who wrote, "I went to the winter sea to keep my promise with my fans. I will do better next year."먹튀검증
It was a fulfillment of the promise made during Media Day. Chae Eun-sung attended the 2024 season Media Day held at Lotte Hotel Seoul Sogong-dong on March 22 with Noh Si-hwan and said, "If we don't make it to the top five, seniors will go to Taean sea in December to get it."
"We believe that (Lee) Tae-yang, (Ahn) Chi-hong, and (Jang) Min-jae were born in the 1990s," Chae said after the media day. "We have reached an agreement. We have reached an agreement," he said. "Will Ryu Hyun-jin always make a successful pledge?" he said. "If we don't make it to the next round, we will fall into the waters off Taenan."
He added, "No one likes to go to the sea when it's cold. When I get ready for something, I dive into the sea a lot. I think that's why I came here."
The 2024 season was an ambitious start. Hanwha had eight wins and two losses in 10 games including the opening game, showing a clear improvement.
Since then, however, the team had to face a long ordeal. Main players continued to suffer line injuries, and there was a crash that did not know the end. Eventually, Hanwha Eagles came up with the strong move of replacing the head coach at the end of May.
Since then, the Hanwha Eagles have gradually stabilized with the manager Kim Kyung-moon. There were several moments when it seemed possible to advance to the postseason. However, the team lacked the afterthought. In the end, the Hanwha Eagles finished eighth with 66 wins, two draws and 76 losses, and had to face the disappointing result that the team failed to make the fall baseball team again. Veteran players including Ryu jumped into the cold winter sea to keep their promise during the media day, vowing to perform well next season.
Hanwha, which is set to start anew at its new stadium, is busy this off-season. In the free agent market, infielder Shim Woo-joon (up to 5 billion won (6.37 million U.S. dollars) for four years and starter Um Sang-baek (up to 7.8 billion won (6.37 million dollars) for four years) were all invested in the free agent market. Some pointed out that he was overpaying, but he successfully strengthened his capability anyway.
On top of that, Hanwha is also rapidly completing its efforts to form foreign players. It has chosen to accompany right-handed foreign pitcher Ryan Weiss, and is also accelerating its efforts to recruit Esteban Floral, a right-handed, left-handed outfield resource considered one of the top prospects in the U.S., instead of Jonathan Peraza. Attention is focusing on whether Hanwha, which is preparing for the 2025 season step by step, will be able to produce satisfactory results next year.
