Kiwoom Heroes delivered special surprise gifts to newly joined rookie players, including pitcher Hahyun-seung (18), who was selected as the first overall pick in the 2027 KBO Rookie Draft. Even Hahyun-seung was deeply touched by the 'mango cake,' a thoughtful gesture from the club.

According to the club, Kiwoom presented mango cakes to all drafted rookies during the '2027 KBO Rookie Draft Selection Meeting' held at Seoul Lotte Hotel's World Crystal Ball Room on the afternoon of the 21st, expressing congratulations and welcome. This went beyond the usual delivery of flower bouquets or caps, showcasing the club's detailed communication aimed at genuinely welcoming each rookie.

Notably, this mango cake gift was prepared based on a recent anecdote about Hahyun-seung. Prior to joining the U-18 national team for the 14th Asian Youth Baseball Championship held in Taiwan, Hahyun-seung had consistently expressed his wish: "I really want to try local mangoes when I go to Taiwan." At that time, the Korea Baseball and Softball Association arranged for high-sugar Taiwanese mangoes to be sourced locally for the team, which also drew attention.

The Kiwoom club did not overlook even such a small detail about Hahyun-seung. While sincerely celebrating the rookies donning burgundy uniforms, they prepared the cake with heartfelt wishes for them to carry forward the winning spirit of the U-18 national team onto the professional stage and deliver outstanding performances.

Hahyun-seung could not hide his emotion at the club's unexpected gift. He said with a bright smile, "I didn't expect the club to care this much. Thanks to that, I truly feel like I've arrived in the professional league."

He continued, "The draft just ended, so I'm still a bit out of it, but I'm extremely happy to join Kiwoom Heroes, which I always wanted to be part of. I look forward to the days we will create together as a team."
