Chung Myung-won (60), a former KIA Tigers coach who plays for the Pacific Dolphins and Hyundai Unicorns and is called the "Legend of Incheon Baseball," revealed the reality of the "Odaesan Dramatic Training," which had come down like a legend in the past.

Former coach Chung Myung-won appeared in a video released by YouTube channel "Stocking" on the 3rd with Cho Woong-cheon (55), Doosan Bears coach who worked together in the Pacific, Kim Gu-ra and Kim Sun-woo (49), MCs, and created a sea of laughter by confiding in the harsh training episode he experienced when Kim Sung-geun (84) was appointed in the late 1980s.

Coach Chung Myung-won recalled the so-called "Odaesan Dramatic Training" in a strong tone. "Director Kim Sung-geun's training for the Odaesan Mountain was like a special forces unit when he went to cut the real Kim Il-sung's neck," he said, conveying the scary atmosphere at the time. Kim Gu-ra also nodded and added, "At that time, the Pacific Ocean was almost like a 'Kim Shin-jo unit.'

Details of the training were also disclosed. According to coach Chung, the players marched 50 kilometers at night on the snow-filled Odaesan Mountain in full military uniform. "If Byun Do-sa (then trainee Ki) took the lead in the way of the mountain path, I had to follow him unconditionally," he said. "I ran to survive because I thought I would die if I fell out of the mountain without a light at that dawn."

Coach Cho Woong-cheon, who also appeared with him, also helped by recalling the training at the time. Coach Cho said, "I dug an ice pit and the players took turns getting it for 30 seconds," and told a laughable episode, "I almost froze to death because of the filming of the broadcast." Coach Chung Myung-won also laughed, saying that the training was "still the most worthwhile."

Coach Chung Myung-won said of the past Spartan-style training, "At that time, it was so popular that other teams followed the Marine Corps training because the results came out, but looking back now, it's really crazy." According to them, other clubs, including the Samsung Lions, also introduced the training as Pacific Ocean ranked third after conducting Odaesan Dramatic Training ahead of the 1989 season.

In the video, Jung Myung-won and Cho Woong-cheon sincerely told stories from their Pacific Dolphins days to the golden age of the modern unicorns, stimulating the nostalgia of old baseball fans.

Meanwhile, coach Chung Myung-won was a legend of Incheon baseball when he was active. Coach Chung Myung-won, who graduated from Gunsan High School and Wonkwang University, played 395 KBO League games from the 1989 season to the 2000 season, recording a career record of 75 wins, 54 losses, 142 saves and an ERA of 2.57. He became the first player in league history to make 40 saves in a single season in the 1994 season and became the title holder in the category with a 1.86 ERA in the 1998 season. After retirement, he served as a leader on the professional stage from the 2002 to 2023 season and is currently working as a pitching instructor in the baseball team of Gangneung Yeongdong University.
