I couldn't express my gratitude to the players properly because I wasn't even ready to say how I felt. I didn't imagine I would be able to win an award, but I think I have to work harder to get it like this," he said.
The best battery award went to KT Wiz Ko Young-pyo and Jang Sung-woo, and when asked who Park Dong-won wanted to win the battery award together, he said, "Of course, it's (Im) Chan-kyu." I want to get it with all the players, but I think of Chan-gyu, and I think of (Yoo) Young-chan and Kelly. Still, I had a hard time with Chan-kyu being a FA re-takers, so I think I want to get it with Chan-kyu," he said.
Lim Chan-kyu, who was qualified as an FA last year but chose to "re-enter" this season, led LG to its first unified victory in 29 years, with a record of 14 wins, 3 losses and 1 hold, with a 3.42 ERA in 30 games and 144 ⅔ innings. And it's on the FA market after the season is over.
When asked about Lim Chan-kyu, Park Dong-won said, "I think Chan-kyu is indispensable. You shouldn't think about running away. If you run away, you will be scolded a lot by our hardline LG. Wouldn't it be better not to go. I think all of our players will scold me. I think Chan-kyu's ERA will go up a lot," he said with a smile.
Park Dong-won said, "Chan-gyu chose to retake the FA, so I was worried a lot during the season. I thought it could go well enough, and I was doing well, so I just said not to worry from the standpoint of my first try, he said. "I said I'll let you know first if I get good contract news, but I haven't heard from you yet. I'm waiting for you to contact me in the hope that Chan-kyu will go well," he said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Park Dong-won, who scored two decisive home runs in the Korean Series and played an active role in offense and defense, became the main character of Yeom Kyung-yeop's "10 million won prize money" ahead of the Korean Series. Initially, he tried to distribute 10 million won to Park Dong-won and Yoo Young-chan, 5 million won each, but decided to give 10 million won to both players in response to Park Dong-won's protest, not a protest.
Park Dong-won said, "I received the prize money right away. The director gave me a big and cool gift, so I gave it to my wife as a group on a trip to Japan," he said. He said, "Now that I'm back to my daily life, I'm spending a lot of time with my family. Now I'm going to start exercising next week," he said. 안전놀이터
