I thought you were just a baseball guy, but now... That's why I'm doing a good job. A desire to grow up from a good deed

On the 11th. A special class classroom at an elementary school in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do. A surprise guest visited.
Doosan Bears pitching trio. Kwon Hwi, Lee Kyo-hoon and Choi Jun-ho took the mound one step further this season, raising expectations for next year's season.
It was thanks to Kwon Hwi's relationship that they came to the special class classroom.
Kwon Hwi completed his military service from June 2022 to March this year while serving as a social service worker. Kwon Hwi served in a special class in elementary school.
Kwon-hwi "I worked to support special children when they entered the class. If I went to learn how to swim, I followed the indoor swimming pool to assist, and if I did art, I would help me draw again."
Kwon Hwi, who spent a busy season after being released from the call-up, visited this place again in the off-season.
Kwon-hwi explained "I was going to visit you after being discharged from the military this year, but the time was right."
When I was discharged, I went out alone, but this time I was with 'colleague'. There was also strong support from Doosan. Kwon Hwi said "I came to say that I would visit the club once, and he actively helped me. He said, "(He) took care of the children's necessities and souvenirs."And (Choi) Jun-hwa and (Lee) Kyohoon also wanted to join them voluntarily, so we went together."
On this day, they had a time to draw on a cup with the children.
Kwon-hwi said, `It's been less than a year, but the children have grown up a lot in the meantime. Also, it was so nice and nice to see the principal, vice principal, and school teachers after a long time. There was a kid who followed me well, but welcoming me really warmed my heart"I carried briquettes during the off-season, and spending time with my children this time made me feel like a good person, and my self-esteem has increased a lot."
Kwon-hwi went on to say, `I thought the children were just 'a baseball guy' but now they came to get autographs.' `I wanted to play baseball better and make the children happy. I think I can do more good things if I'm in a better position."
Choi Joon-ho and Lee Kyo-hoon, who were together, also went with a warm heart. Choi Jun-ho said "It's been a long time since I came to elementary school and had a good time with my students. It was time to go back to childhood. I had a meaningful time with Hwi-hyung's invitation. Thank you very much."
Lee also "It seems that my heart is warmed by the smile of young students. I get a lot of energy and go back. I hope you grow up as bright and healthy as you are now."
