After beating Samsung 4-0 on the same day, Hanwha fired head coach Carlos Subero, who had a contract period until this season, and made the decision to appoint second-team coach Choi Won-ho as the team’s 13th command tower.
Hanwha was on the rise with 5 wins and 2 losses in 7 games in May until coach Subero was sacked. However, inside the front, questions about coach Subero’s team management method grew, and he made a bold decision to replace the command tower at the beginning of the season.
Director Kim Won-hyung heard the news and immediately picked up the phone. Although he had never played on the same team during his active career, he congratulated coach Choi Won-ho on his ‘young fight’, who had been with him as a roommate in the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games baseball team.
In an official interview ahead of the match against Hanwha on the 12th, coach Won-hyung Kim said, “I heard the news of the appointment of Won-ho Choi when I moved to Incheon after the game with KIA.”

That said, I don’t have a long coaching career, and Choi Won-ho has the experience of acting as a first-team coach before me.” It happened with us first, but it’s probably the first game, so I think (coach Wonho Choi) will pay a lot of attention,” he laughed.
After the interview, coach Won-Hyung Kim personally visited coach Won-Ho Choi who arrived at the stadium and congratulated him once more. Director Choi Won-ho repeatedly expressed his gratitude to director Kim Won-hyung for his consideration.
