A strange scene was created in which a player who becomes a new family member and a player who leaves were in one place.안전놀이터

Hanwha announced the recruitment of FA infielder Shim Woo-joon and pitcher Um Sang-baek on the 7th and 8th. First, Shim Woo-joon signed a four-year maximum of 5 billion won (4.2 billion won in guarantees, 800 million won in options), and the next day, a four-year contract with Um Sang-baek worth 3.4 billion won, a total annual salary of 3.25 billion won, and an option of 1.15 billion won were announced.

About 10 days later, Shim Woo-joon and Um Sang-baek visited Miyazaki, Japan, where Hanwha's closing camp is underway, and met with coaching staff and players, including head coach Kim Kyung-moon. Hanwha, which started preparing for next year early, said that most of the players except Ryu Hyun-jin are participating in the closing camp, and Kim Kyung-moon's intention was to adapt to the team in advance and get close to the team because he is a KT player until November.

"I think it would be better to meet and start with other players in advance than to meet and greet them when they leave the spring camp next year," coach Kim Kyung-moon said. "Even though I can't practice right now, I think it would be better to get acquainted with players in a few days," he said. "I have all my senior players, but I also have time to meet and talk with my partner coaches. I think we need that kind of time."

However, things happened to flow by chance. Shim Woo-joon's reward player was announced on the 13th, but KT's recruitment of Heo Kyung-min, an FA infielder, delayed the nomination of a second reward player. The contract between Um Sang-baek and Heo Kyung-min was announced on the same day, and Doosan had to decide on a reward player first at KT before KT had to nominate Han Hwa.

Shim Woo-joon and Um Sang-baek's trip to Japan had already been decided, and the reward players were announced on the day these two players first greeted the team. When Shim Woo-joon and Um Sang-baek arrived in Miyazaki and were coming to the ballpark, Jang Jin-hyuk was crying as he was notified of the transfer by manager Kim Kyung-moon and general manager Son Hyuk. 

It was an irresistible play of fate. As the situation turned out, coach Kim Kyung-moon and general manager Son Hyuk also paid close attention. Han Seung-joo, who is preparing to join the military in Sangmu, was not in training with the team, but he had no choice but to be certain that one of the players who is participating in the camp would be leaked from the 25-member protected team.

Kim cut back on training before or after the announcement of compensation players. Some judged that it was time for him to take a break as he started training from October. "No matter how quiet we are, players will have to listen to this and that even if they don't signify us. They might get hurt while training because they feel restless," Kim said. 

Shim Woo-joon and Um Sang-baek, who eventually became Hanwha players, and Jang Jin-hyuk, who is now leaving Hanwha, met in one place. In addition, the entire team's dinner was scheduled for this evening, and Kim and Sohn first asked Jang about his intention to attend, considering his mood. Jang readily expressed his intention to attend, and decided to spend more time with his colleagues on the 19th, the day of rest, before heading home.
