Choo Shin-soo, a forty-one-year-old veteran of the SSG in professional baseball, said he would end his career after playing next season with only the lowest salary.
Choo Shin-soo, who has been considering whether to retire, announced that he will leave the ground after playing until next year through the SSG club.
The annual salary, which was 1.7 billion won this year, will be voluntarily cut to 30 million won, the lowest annual salary in the KBO league, and even this will be donated in full.
Choo Shin-soo, who hit .275 with 218 home runs and 157 stolen bases in 16 seasons in the Major League, returned to Korea in 2021 to join the oldest "20-20" club and led SSG to the championship last year.
I'm ending my brilliant active career after turning 42 next year.
