Regarding his feelings about joining the Bulkkot Fighters, Oh Seung-hwan said, "I am grateful for the opportunity to stand before fans again wearing the Bulkkot Fighters uniform."

When asked about the person he most wants to get close to, Oh Seung-hwan named Coach Kim Sung-geun. He stated, "I never played in the same uniform as Coach Kim Sung-geun during my playing days. Although I have retired, I want to learn a lot from him." He continued, "Coach Kim gave me advice on my arm throwing motion when pitching, and he shared many excellent insights. I want to show the fans good pitching based on the guidance I received."

Finally, ahead of the 'Special Bulkkot Baseball Live Broadcast,' which will be the first live broadcast of the 2026 season on SBS Plus, Oh Seung-hwan urged fans to pay close attention and watch. He said, "I am now standing before fans wearing the Bulkkot Fighters uniform. I am extremely happy and will greet everyone with fun and enthusiasm." He added, "I do not know how many saves I will record or how many pitches I will throw in the future, but since my save count is not yet finished, I will embark on a long journey with the Fighters fans." He expressed anticipation for a new record to be written together with baseball fans.

1. Please say a few words to the fans who are welcoming your joining the Fighters.

-I have joined the Bulkkot Fighters this time. I am not sure if I can show the overwhelming closing performance like I did during my playing days, but I will do my best to throw good pitches.

2. As the only former Samsung Lions player among the Fighters, what kind of performance do you want to show?

-I will strive to show a performance as close as possible to what I displayed during my Samsung Lions days.

3. What are your goals for the 2026 season, which marks your start with a new team?

-I have recorded 549 saves across Korea, the U.S., and Japan. If I get one save with the Fighters, my total saves across Korea, the U.S., Japan, and the Fighters will reach 550. I will work hard to aim for the save record.

4. If you were to rate the chemistry with your teammates, what score would you give? If there is a player you want to get close to, please also share the reason!

-Since I was already close with many of my teammates, I do not think there will be any chemistry issues. On the pitching side, I have Song Seung-jun, Lee Dae-eun, and Shin Jae-young, so I think we will get along well. Rather than a player I want to get close to, I want to get close to Coach Kim Sung-geun. I never played in the same uniform as Coach Kim Sung-geun during my playing days, so although I have retired, I will learn many things from Coach Kim Sung-geun.

5. Did you receive any 'baseball advice' from Kim Sung-geun, the head of the Fighters? We are curious about the content.
