Choo Shin-soo (44), assistant manager of SSG Landers, has decided to take legal action against attacks that cross the line toward his family.

"We appointed a law firm to protect our baseball players and their families, and we will proceed with a criminal complaint against malicious commentators and distributors of false information on charges of insult and defamation," said Sportrain, the agency of Choo Shin-soo.

Choo Shin-soo, who played in the Major League Baseball (MLB) until 2020, played in SSG since 2021, and is currently in charge of fostering prospects by utilizing his experience in MLB after retirement after the 2024 season.

However, too much criticism has followed from his active days to the present. It was true that he had to endure it, but this also had an excessive aspect.

Of course, I want to listen to sound criticism even if it hurts. Sportrain said, "I will always humbly listen to sound criticism and advice," but added that attacks against families are exceptions.

"Choo Shin-soo, the director of fostering, always retains the love from fans until the end of his 20-year active career and is still trying to repay his support," Sporttrain said. "We have watched Choo Shin-soo's long-term experience of silently passing various malicious comments and false information online since his Major League debut in 2005."

"As a public figure and a baseball player, I have been patient, thinking it is something I have to endure, but recently, the level has gone beyond mere criticism," he said. "Especially after retirement, abusive language that is hard to put into my wife and children's personal SNS continues, and the raw swear words and insults caused by mentioning the real names of family members through various online communities and bulletin boards have reached a level that can no longer be ignored."

Eventually, the knife was pulled out. "We are conducting strong and continuous monitoring of malicious postings and comments online in cooperation with related organizations such as law firms," Sportrain said. "We clearly state that we will take strict legal action without any agreement or preference for future misconduct."

Finally, he clearly expressed his willingness to contribute to Korean baseball. "In the future, we will continue to devote ourselves to the 'second life' of developing Korean baseball and nurturing juniors, and return the love and encouragement of many people," he promised.
