Oh Ji-hwan (33, LG Twins) is the busiest player in this winter’s professional baseball awards season.
He also won the MVP award by leading his team LG’s integrated victory for the first time in 29 years and recording three consecutive home runs (Games 2 to 4) in the Korean Series (KS) against KT Wiz. The late chairman Koo Bon-moo became the main character of the high-end watch that he left to give to the next winning MVP, and was more supported by returning the gift for the club and fans.
Oh Ji-hwan received a different watch from Koo Kwang-mo (Chairman of LG Group) at a celebration held at LG Science Park on the 17th. Oh Ji-hwan said, “The chairman prepared it in advance.” The watch also attracted attention through a YouTube broadcast recently starring Oh Ji-hwan. The design of the watch left by Chairman Koo Bon-moo is also known to be similar. First of all, Oh Ji-hwan was satisfied. In his hands, traces of LG’s fan’s wish for the first time in 29 years were shining.
Oh is busy doing interviews and recruiting broadcasts. At the 2023 Maguma-gu Real Glove Awards held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on Monday, he received a unique award. LG’s main shortstop has become the winner of the Best Kiss Comedy Award with his partner Shin Min-jae.
Oh Ji-hwan gave the honor of the award to his partner. Oh Ji-hwan had to work with several second basemen because the “fixed” second basemen did not appear for many years. Oh Ji-hwan praised Shin Min-jae’s further growth as he gained experience, saying, “In the end, I was able to receive such an award because Min-jae did a good job.” 스포츠토토
