Mok Ji-hoon (20, NC Dinos) is nicknamed 'Hot Chocolate Boy'. About 13 years ago, I shot a commercial with director Kim Sung-geun in a hot chocolate commercial. Mok Ji-hoon's line is 'Grandpa, are you good at baseball?asking the question '
Over time, Mok Ji-hoon became a professional baseball player. He was nominated by NC in the fourth round (34th overall) of the 2023 Rookie Draft.
My second year as a professional. He consistently played in the starting rotation in the Futures League and showed good performance with 1 win, 3 losses and an ERA of 2.70 in 12 games, and was selected for the 「Futures All-Star Game」.
Still, 'Chocolate Drink' remains a delightful nickname to him. Even if you drink 'Ice Chocolate' because you can't drink coffee, 'Isn't it a concept?'
Mok Ji-hoon cheerfully showed his nickname in the All-Star Game. He took the mound as the fifth pitcher of the Southern League in the sixth inning and was wearing thick clothes before entering the ground. When I took off my jacket, the words 'Please DM me for hot chocolate advertisement' were written on my back.

Mok Ji-hoon "It's awkward because it's the first time I've had this kind of atmosphere. It's not bad because it's always serious and there's a loud atmosphere"Last year, I watched the All-Star Game in a jjimjilbang with my friend. What I still remember is that Lee Kang-joon threw a fastball when he threw a ball. He also said that even though he didn't look big, he threw a fast ball, so he thought his speed might have come out wrong. But it's amazing that we came together in the All-Star Game."
A debut in the first team that hasn't been made yet. However, it is not just a dream that is far away. NC manager Kang In-kwon recently selected Mok Ji-hoon as one of the candidates for the first team's alternative starting pitchers.

In addition, he said, `I'll keep the good part to the best of my ability and throw more innings to become a good starting pitcher and make it to the first team"I'm determined.
