At the same time, 'Salimnam' will follow Choo Shin-soo's hometown, the last away game in Busan, where he first started baseball, to the last home game of the SSG Landers, which was fierce until the end of the regular season for a postseason berth, marking the finale of 'Living Legend of Korean Baseball'. For fans who have been cheering for Choo for a long time, Choo Shin-soo's appearance in 'Salimnam' is expected to be a special gift.
Choo Shin-soo had a hotter year than ever, setting records for the oldest business trip, hits, RBIs, stolen bases, and home runs as KBO's oldest hitter, but he also had a difficult retirement season due to a shoulder injury he suffered earlier this year. In response, Choo Shin-soo will also release his sincere confession and behind-the-scenes stories about his retirement season in 'Salimnam' to soothe fans' disappointment.
