But there's no worry. This is because there is a 'hyung' in Suwon.
KT Wiz Won Sang-hyun, who met in Suwon on the 11th, said "When I was in the second division, I had a video call with Cuevas every day." Interpreter Lee Yeon-jun said, `Won Sang-hyun often makes video calls with Benjamin and Rojas in addition to Cuevas.'
Is Won Sang-hyun good at English. He said awkwardly, `I use a translator.' At the time, Cuevas said "Are you good at English? "I can't do it (I can't)", opened my eyes wide, and smiled "Korean, Korean". Won Sang-hyun also fell into Cuevas' arms, saying, `My mentor.'
Cuevas has been living in Korea for six years and is able to communicate in any way. Rojas, who is in his fifth year, and Benjamin, who is in his third year, also speak Korean quite naturally.
During the interview "Hello!"I heard a bold voice greeting, so I turned around and it was Rojas. Rojas, who was playing a joke on his colleague, responded "It hurts"Oh! I'm sorry!," he said with a hearty laugh.
Won Sang-hyun wore the KT uniform as the seventh-ranked player in the first round this year. He was the fifth starter selected by KT manager Lee Kang-chul before the season, but he had to experience his second-tier career.

Now he plays as a bullpen long man. In the match against the Suwon Lotte Giants on the 10th, he defended well with no runs in the eighth to ninth innings. He also struck out three.
KT manager Lee Kang-chul said in the game, `It was yesterday's harvest. "I would be very grateful if Sang-hyun throws it like that when I win by 5 or 6 points and when I'm losing by 1 or 2 points," he said. "Since he was a starter, multi-inning is also possible." Pitcher management can be made easier. We can't use Kim Min in the same game yesterday."

Won Sang-hyun gained quite a bit of weight in the second division. Director Lee Kang-chul said, `I want to tell you to wear the uniform a little loose…I'm afraid he'll call me `old-fashioned" and "You look too skinny with tightness. I eat a lot like some military when I eat, but I don't seem to gain weight. Still, it's a little better these days."
"The ball needs to gain some weight to gain strength. It's good in terms of mechanisms. Still, the arm swing is fast, so I throw more than 150km, but the ball is too light and the movement is a little disappointing. So I asked him to throw a fight. Like Kim Min, he is a pitcher with good fighting spirit. I'm a little weak right now."

On this day, Cuevas was interviewed wearing KT's basketball team jersey. He also watched the Paris Olympics when he had time. Basketball? Of course I saw it." 'It looks good on you' replied with a bright smile to the words.
