Heo Young-man, who went to eat Korean beef with Choo Shin-soo on this day, asked "An athlete eats a lot of meat, but how much did he eat the most?" In response, Choo Shin-soo "The most eaten was about 10 servings." In the middle of the year, I ate a lot. I ate 7 to 8 hamburgers"But Lee Dae-ho will eat a lot more."
Choo Shin-soo, who moved to the U.S. Major League after receiving a scout offer at age 18, said he received $1.37 million (about 1.5 billion won) as his first down payment. At that time, he said, "Lee Dae-ho was the second most nominated player in Korea."```````.
Choo Shin-soo, also known as a famous wife-in-law, talked about his marriage to his wife when he was in college. My wife said she was coming to the U.S. during the vacation, so I got a big kid," he said candidly. Then "What's really great is that my wife was really good and considerate. One day, I woke up in the morning, but I couldn't see my wife, so I looked for her, and she was asleep holding her child on the stairs of the apartment. He thanked his wife for her consideration and dedication, saying, "My child cried so much that he brought me out in case I woke up."

After seven years of hard work, Choo Shin-soo, who went beyond Korea to make a big splash in the history of Asian baseball, recorded a down payment of 140 billion won in the Major League Baseball. However, he suddenly chose to go to Korea, saying, `If I had thought of something monetary, of course I would have been in the United States. More than that, I wanted to use the end of my career meaningfully because I recognize that my career is just around the corner. I wanted to return the love I received when I came to Korea" he said.
Heo Young-man wondered how much he was paid when he received the most, and Choo Shin-soo "When he received the most, it was KRW 1.3 billion to KRW 1.4 billion in two weeks. At that time, the annual salary was 21 million dollars (about 30 billion won)." Heo Young-man, who heard this, laughed with regret, saying, `I should have played baseball instead of cartoons.'
Choo Shin-soo, who returned to Korea and won his first career championship in 2022, said "At that time, I felt rewarded for all my baseball life."," he recalled. He announced his retirement after the last season of this year, saying, `Even if I'm born again, I'll play baseball 100 percent. I'm still happier than any other time to go to the ballpark. When I was at the ballpark, I looked the coolest when I saw myself in a baseball uniform. He expressed his deep affection for baseball.
