As Kiwoom Heroes has unexpectedly signed foreign batter Matt Davidson (35), who was placed on waivers by NC Dinos, to strengthen their lineup, Davidson has decided to continue using his "premium cheer song" that earned him great popularity among fans during his time with NC.

On June 29, Kiwoom officially announced that it had requested the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) to place foreign pitcher Nathan Wiles on waivers and simultaneously submitted an application for contract transfer regarding foreign batter Matt Davidson, who was placed on waivers by NC Dinos on the 27th. Davidson is expected to join the team ahead of the Doosan Bears game on the 4th once administrative procedures are completed.

According to StarNews, Davidson is scheduled to play starting from the Doosan Bears game on the 4th and will be able to use his cheer song from his NC days right from his first at-bat. As a result, baseball fans will once again hear his familiar cheer song echoing from the first-base home cheering section at Gocheok Sky Dome from his first game with Kiwoom.

A Kiwoom official explained on the 2nd in response to StarNews' inquiry about Davidson's cheer song: "We have completed all negotiations with NC and are proceeding to use it." A veteran position player who met Davidson at the Kiwoom dugout the previous day (the 1st) also laughed, saying about Davidson's NC-era cheer song, "It was addictive. I even found myself humming it when facing him as an opponent."

Kiwoom plans to have Davidson play in games immediately once administrative procedures are finalized. Kiwoom manager Seol Jong-jin (53), regarding the timing of Davidson's arrival, stated, "We can only announce the contract after the waiver claim period ends," and added, "For now, we plan for him to join on Saturday (July 4 against Doosan). You can expect him to play right away starting from that Saturday." Regarding Davidson's current condition, he also noted, "I heard he is training individually. Since administrative procedures will continue until Friday, we will call him in on Saturday, greet him, and prepare to use him immediately in the game."
