The team called LG, the passion of its fans” Go Woo-seok’s reason for hesitating about his dream of becoming a ML

Ellin, who was cheering for the LG Twins' advance to the postseason, became an adult and became the pitcher who caught the last out count, confirming the team's first championship in 29 years. Now, he has achieved his dream with the title of being the first LG player to go straight to the major league. Big leaguer Go Woo-seok (San Diego Padres) always has LG in his heart.

Go Woo-seok, who succeeded in signing a major league contract just before the posting schedule deadline, returned home through Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 on the 6th. Go Woo-seok officially became a major leaguer when he signed his contract seven minutes before the end of the posting schedule, which was until 7 a.m. on the 4th. After receiving San Diego's offer on the 2nd, a lot of things happened in just five days, including agreement, approval from LG, medical test, contract, and return home.

Go Woo-seok's entry into the major leagues was accomplished in a unique way. LG, the original team, conditionally approved Go Woo-seok's posting. Even if the club's offer came, there was a condition that he would remain at LG unless the contract was of an appropriate size. LG general manager Cha Myeong-seok said that this condition does not take into account the posting amount the club will receive. He emphasized that there must be a justification for sending a closing pitcher in terms of amount of money.

In interviews upon his return to Korea, Go Woo-seok said several times, "I am grateful to LG for supporting my personal dream." The reason behind pushing for entry into the major leagues through posting rather than free agency was affection and loyalty toward LG. That's how much Go Woo-seok cares about LG and its fans.

It all started with the approval of LG's posting application in November of last year. Go Woo-seok said, "(After completing the contract), I felt a sense of relief. I think it was because I had my own team. I am so thankful. I am thankful for everything now."

Winning last year is also the reason why Go Woo-seok's posting was possible. Go Woo-seok said, "Actually, I started preparing for the post before last year's season. However, the results were not good. I wondered if I would have been able to apply if the team had not won. I also thought that it would not be possible. The team all did well and won. I did and I just dipped my toes in. After that happy moment, a situation came where I had to apply for a posting. The biggest reason I applied was because I was curious about how I would be evaluated. I waited until the end, but there was no news, and although there was talk of it in the media, there were no active offers. I wasn't expecting it. I was worried when the offer came at the last minute. In fact, there were a lot of people who asked me why I did that about entering the major league through a post a year before free agency. Although I left LG, I posted it because I could return to LG. “I decided to apply,” he explained.

He added, "What I left behind to the LG club and group is very small. Thank you for believing and supporting me even though it is my personal dream."

When asked what he wanted to say to LG fans, Go Woo-seok said, "In some ways, the reason why it was difficult to decide to go to the United States was the passionate passion of LG and the fans. Although it was a short time, I am grateful for the love and support that was given to me. I am not leaving forever." "I think I need to improve and come back. To be honest, if I don't do well, I may come back after a short period of time. I want to improve even within that short period of time. I'm really grateful for your support even though it's my personal dream," he replied.

LG players also supported Go Woo-seok’s challenge. Go Woo-seok said, "I worked out in Jamsil until the day I boarded the plane. I received a lot of calls as if they had guessed it or not. I said I would go back and greet you from Jamsil." He also said to the club, "I thanked him for contacting me immediately after signing the contract. He congratulated me, thanked me for allowing him to do so, and said I was able to sign a good contract thanks to him."

LG manager Yeom Kyeong-yeop said that if Ko Woo-seok advances to the major leagues, he considers Yoo Young-chan to be the next closer. Go Woo-seok said, “I think he will do well. I have no doubts and think he will do well.” He believed in Yoo Young-chan.
