After the 2023 Magumagu Real Glove Awards ceremony held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 1st, Park Dong-won told reporters, ” (Im) Chan-kyu is an indispensable pitcher in our team,” adding, “I hope you don’t think about running away.”
“If you run away, you will be scolded by our team hitters,” he said, jokingly, “The ERA will rise dramatically.” 안전놀이터
“I will also play a big role in increasing Chan-kyu’s ERA,” he said, adding, “Please stay with LG if possible.”
Park Dong-won played a decisive role in LG’s victory in the Korean Series this season.
He hit a two-run final home run in the bottom of the eighth inning when he was being dragged 3-4 in Game 2 of KT Wiz and KS, and in Game 3 of KS, he hit a two-run shot again in the sixth inning when he was trailing 3-4 and drew a home run arch in each game.
LG won the championship by beating KT with four wins and one loss with Park Dong-won’s performance.
Park Dong-won hopes to challenge the winning members for the second consecutive time in the new season.
This is why he threatened FA Lim Chan-kyu through the media.
Park Dong-won said, “In fact, Chan-kyu was so worried that he chose to retake the FA,” adding, “I said this, but I think he will be treated well.”
“I also called Chan-kyu and told him not to worry,” he said, encouraging him, “I hope you sign well with good conditions.”
Park Dong-won received 10 million won from coach Yeom Kyung-yeop shortly after winning the KS.
Ahead of the KS, coach Yeom Kyung-yeop promised to give 10 million won to the player who performed the most in addition to the player who received the MVP of the series.
And right after winning the KS, manager Yeom said he would share 5 million won each because Park Dong-won and bullpen Yoon Young-chan played the same role.
Park Dong-won, who heard the remarks, visited manager Yeom at the winning dinner and suggested, “Give 10 million won to both players,” and manager Yeom accepted it.
Park Dong-won said, “The day after winning, the coach gave me 10 million won,” adding, “I gave my wife a bag with that money.”
