I will try to show my improvement at the Sajik Baseball Stadium ground in the upcoming 25 seasons."



Park Se-hyun's father Park Sung-hyuk, who was also nominated in the second round, said, `Today's Family Day event was a series of surprises from start to finish. Among them, I was really surprised that the group's major executives participated in the event and congratulated and encouraged the rookie players. I think I could see how much expectation and affection I put on the rookie players. I think I will never forget how he takes care of the details for this event. Thanks to this, I felt completely compensated for the difficulties my son has experienced while playing baseball, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness throughout the journey home. Once again, I would like to bow to the group's executives and employees who worked hard to host the event," he said.

Rookie players will join the rookie camp from November 26 to January 23, 2025 and train to improve basic physical strength and muscle strength.
