"You've been a little discouraged lately."

Son Ah-seop (38), who moved to the Doosan Bears, expressed his concern and sincere support for Noh Si-hwan (26), who was a junior member of the team when he was with the Hanwha Eagles.

Son Ah-seop met with reporters ahead of the match against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 14th, the first day of the trade, and expressed his feelings and determination in his new uniform.

The mention of Noh Si-hwan came from Doosan's story of wearing No. 8. Son Ah-seop said, "I've always put it on 31 times. At first, Doosan recommended No. 36, but with the idea of doing it with a completely new mind, I wanted to make a number that was nowhere near 30. So I chose eight of the remaining numbers," he explained.

At the same time, Son Ah-seop continued, "Roh Si-hwan is number 8 again." He said, "While I was in Hanwha, I was the most grateful younger brother, and I got a phone call earlier and said, 'I put on No. 8 (in Doosan) with the heart of being with you,' and he said, "And I said, 'Let's put on No. 8 and stand up again together.'"

Son Ah-seop was excluded from the first-team entry on the 30th of last month, and Noh Si-hwan was also canceled on the 13th. If there was no trade, the two could meet in Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do, where the Hanwha Futures team is located.

Son Ah-seop said, "Actually, I had a dinner appointment with Si-hwan today (14th), so I even booked a restaurant. He also said, "When we came to Seosan, we planned what we would do together," adding, "I feel sad because I didn't think I could help as a senior, but I decided to be with my uniform number anyway." He expressed his affection for the junior who "left it in Seosan."

Noh Si-hwan has been suffering from severe batting slump early this season. Son Ah-seop said, "Si-hwan is a very bright friend and a ridiculously positive friend. But when I talk on the phone these days, I'm a little discouraged," he said, adding, "So I told him, 'It's not like you.' When you play baseball, of course, everyone has a hard time. I'm also going through that time, but I'm not worried because Si-hwan is the best third baseman in Korea," he said.
