There are constant episodes when veterans who seemed unlikely to meet meet meet beyond the temptation. Choi Hyung-woo (43) corrected the fact due to controversy over forcing breakfast caused by misunderstanding of Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man.

Coach Park Jin-man unraveled the daily lives of veterans Kang Min-ho (41) and Koo Ja-wook (33), who became very bright after Choi Hyung-woo moved from the 2026 Samsung Spring Camp at Akama Ball Park in Onnason, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on the 22nd.

Choi Hyung-woo signed a two-year FA contract with Samsung on December 3 last year, up to 2.6 billion won. It has been nine years since he made his debut with Samsung and moved to the KIA Tigers on the condition of a total of 10 billion won for four years after the end of the 2016 season.

Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook were happier than anyone at Samsung over his transfer. Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook served as leaders of the pitching and fielding teams as the main catcher and captain, respectively. He is a veteran who gets along well with young juniors with his unique affinity. However, as much as it burns easily, young players cool down when they are in a slump. At that time, Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook had no choice but to be stressed out without knowing.

It is Choi Hyung-woo who is relieving the burden of the two. Director Park Jin-man said, "Not to mention Choi Hyung-woo's adaptability. He takes his juniors well and gives a lot of advice. Originally, Kang Min-ho was the oldest, but now (Kang) Min-ho is under Choi Hyung-woo," he said.

What came out like that was the story of breakfast at the spring camp accommodation. Director Park Jin-man said, "I heard that (Choi) Hyung-woo keeps giving (Kang) Min-ho a hard time in the morning. I heard that maybe because I couldn't sleep because I got older, I woke him up from dawn every day and asked him to go eat. That's why I heard it's hard from Guam," he said with a smile.

I was curious about the truth. Choi Hyung-woo, who met with reporters after a live bet shortly afterwards, reacted to the episode for the first time, saying, "(Kang) Min-ho also likes breakfast. That's why we eat together, I don't want to, but I don't force you," he said.

The truth was quite the opposite. Choi Hyung-woo's bedroom was near the elevator, and Kang Min-ho stopped by Choi Hyung-woo to wake him up every time he went down. In response, Choi Hyung-woo said, "(Kang) Min-ho and I both are old and don't sleep much. From Guam camp, I kept tapping every time I left the room right next door. I didn't just tap it when I was eating," he said, complaining of damage. At the same time, he said, "I don't think it bothers Minho to do that. I don't want to do it, but it bothers me if I keep coming, but I have to eat anyway," he said, siding with his younger brother.

Captain Koo Ja-wook is just a junior who plays around in front of his 10-year-old brother. After joining Choi Hyung-woo, Koo Ja-wook's playful appearance has increased on Samsung's YouTube. In response, Choi Hyung-woo said, "I think it's just (former) Jawuk. In the meantime, I don't know how I did it here, but I think it would have been necessary to hold the weight (as a captain)," he said, "But for me, Ja-wook was a player who was playing around and playing around like this. Ja-wook said with a smile, "Nothing has changed."

Rather, the eldest brother is saddened by the episodes of Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook. Head coach Park Jin-man also said, "It's good to see the two put down the burden with Choi Hyung-woo's joining."

Choi Hyung-woo said, "I don't think it's bad that (Kang) Min-ho and (former) Ja-wook have become comfortable. Originally, being the oldest is easy, but there are many difficult things. We also look at our juniors," he said, expressing his grievances. "I think Minho has been like that, but I think I'm comfortable because I'm here. I'm responsible for everything now, so it's better for Minho to be comfortable. I've been through this for a long time, so I don't feel much pressure," he added.

The same goes for Choi Hyung-woo, who is reliable because of Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook. He returned to his old team for the first time in a long time, but his members have changed a lot from his days in the past. Choi Hyung-woo said, "I'm almost 20 years apart from a young player now. Twenty years is as old as my father, but no matter how comfortable I am, it is not easy. At first, it was ambiguous because I was also very shy. But now, I and the children have completely adjusted," he said with a smile.

"So (Kang) Min-ho and (former) Ja-wook are helpful. Both of them are old, but I'm very comfortable with such players. Min-ho and Ja-wook are good at baseball, so I rely on them, and I think they will be able to build a team well while relying on me," he said.
