Earlier this month, an official from the KIA Tigers received a phone call. The sender is Choi Hyung-woo (41), the oldest member of the team. What he said was unexpected. "I want to attend the signing event in Daegu on the 4th." came forward on one's own request.
The Samsung Lions and KIA played the last three consecutive games of the first half at Lions Park in Daegu on the 2nd and 4th under the title of 'Moonlight Series'. The team is nicknamed "Dalgu Beol" (Daegu) and "Bitgoeul" (Gwangju), which are the two teams' hometowns. The team is the representative team of Young and Honam, which leads the success of the KBO League, and aims to give fans pleasure as well as nostalgia. The home team Samsung reflected on the meaning of 'Moonlight Series' by screening not only the Gwangju city promotion video but also the KIA player introduction video during the home game.

'Signature' is a natural service to the fans who visited the stadium. However, it may be sensitive to players who have to take care of their condition in that they split training, meals and breaks right before the game. It is rare for the oldest member of the team to volunteer to attend the signing event.
It contained gratitude and love for my mother's team.

"It's true that I didn't have the opportunity to meet Daegu fans in person after leaving Samsung," Choi said. "When I heard the news of a small event held by the two teams for a good purpose, I thought, "What can I do?" and expressed my intention to participate in person."." Regarding the time taken away by the voluntary signing event and concerns about the preparation of the game, "Didn't we spend more valuable time than training?" You can get ready from now on."
