Kang Min-ho (41), who declared himself a "life-long Samsung Lionsman," invited as many as 400 fans to prepare a meaningful event. Although it was a little difficult to prepare and proceed with the event, he stressed that he was rewarded with the support of the fans. In the future, Samsung Lions' central players such as Koo Ja-wook (33) and Won Tae-in (26) also hoped to hold the event.

Kang Min-ho and other Samsung players held the "Kang Restaurant 3" event at the "Yeonhwa 37" restaurant located in Suseong-gu, Daegu from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the 10th. The event, organized by Kang Min-ho, is an event in which the Samsung team invites fans who have cheered for a season to grill meat themselves. It first began in 2023, and it was held for the third time.

That's how much Kang Min-ho is serious about this event. Samsung announced Kang Min-ho's free agent contract on December 28 last year. It was a condition of up to 2 billion won in total, including two years of contract period, 1 billion won in down payment, 300 million won in annual salary, and 200 million won in annual incentives. Even at the place where the contract was signed, Kang Min-ho was busy preparing for the event. As many Samsung players as possible participated in the event, except for some players who left early for Guam, including Park Seung-gyu, Choi Ji-kwang and Kim Moo-shin.

There was also a story that tickets were sold because it was an event that had been booked on the 3rd. This is because it is difficult to fade good intentions. In response, Kang Min-ho emphasized on his SNS that he must bring his ID card to verify the identity of the booking agent. Kang Min-ho said, "I didn't know, but people around me told me that there were a lot of scalpers circulating. So I think I kept emphasizing it because it was planned for a good purpose with the intention of making this clear."

Kang Min-ho, who led the event with his unique leadership, said, "It's definitely hard (laughs). Although we have to continue with the progress and the story, I feel really rewarded because the fans always say thank you so much," he said.

"The reason I actually open a restaurant like this and invite fans is because I want to touch them. In fact, I can't invite all the fans, but I wanted to make time to meet a small number of people this close. Whenever I hear "thank you for creating an opportunity to meet the players like this," like today, I think, "I'm tired, but I really prepared well."

The event ended successfully with 400 fans. Fans who visited the venue also cooperated with the players' control in an orderly manner. One fan said, "The quality is improving as the events continue. The meat was so delicious and I'm really happy to meet the players," he said.

Finally, Kang Min-ho's juniors also honestly expressed their wishes if they had taken over and led such an event. This is also because Kang Min-ho's FA contract with Samsung will expire after the 2027 season. "In fact, I want other juniors to hold such events," he said. I'm looking forward to the old restaurant and Won restaurant hosted by Koo Ja-wook and Won Tae-in. One day someone will. I'm going to try it until other friends do it," he said, expressing his expectation.
