Right-handed pitcher Go Woo-seok (28), who is likely to join the Minnesota Twins and enter the Major League Baseball (MLB) 40-man roster, finally shared his thoughts on the opportunity that has arrived and expressed his apologies and gratitude toward his former team, LG Twins.

Go Woo-seok told Ricco Sports Agency on the 6th (Korea time), shortly after news of his surprise trade to Minnesota and scheduled call-up to the major leagues broke, "I did not have high expectations, but I am very grateful for all the support and expectations you gave me that led to this good result."

Behind this dramatic turnaround lay a private struggle. Go Woo-seok had previously made the difficult decision to reject an offer from his former team, LG Twins, in May and choose to remain in the United States after much deliberation.

Regarding this, Go Woo-seok bowed his head, saying, "I did not feel well every day after rejecting LG Twins' offer last May. It felt like I turned my back on a team that supported me both financially and emotionally during their difficult times, so I carried a sense of guilt in one corner of my heart. I would like to once again say sorry and thank you to the LG Twins organization and all our fans."

He did not forget to express gratitude to those who silently supported him even under difficult circumstances. He added, "I am also grateful to the LG Twins coaches, my personal coach, and my catchball partner who helped me greatly during the off-season so that today's result could happen. I am truly thankful to the LG Twins players and my beloved family who always encouraged me by saying 'you can do it.'"

The most moving part was his message to his wife, who stood as a silent pillar of support in a foreign land. Go Woo-seok expressed both gratitude and apology, saying, "Even while pregnant with our second child, she took care of the baby alone yet always told me everything was fine. It seems this luck came to me entirely because of my wife."

Go Woo-seok, who silently endured the minor league depths after moving through San Diego, Miami, and Detroit, has finally found himself back on the starting line of the "dream stage" he had longed for since entering the United States.

Finally, Go Woo-seok stated his firm resolve toward the major league mound: "Now that I am back at the starting line, I will do my best to show you a performance worthy of your support."
