SSG Landers' second-tier coach Park Jung-tae eventually stepped down from his position. SSG officially announced the voluntary resignation of coach Park Jung-tae on the 24th.
SSG announced the appointment of Park Jung-tae as the second-tier coach on December 31. SSG expects coach Park Jung-tae to present solutions for each player based on his high understanding of the players and instill a culture of determination and persistence in the team", and the reason for the appointment of 'Convincing Hyung' was revealed.
However, as soon as it was announced, there was a huge aftermath. There have been concerns about how much the leader, who has been away from the field for more than 12 years, can play a role by returning to the field as a second-tier coach and taking the heavy responsibility of being a second-tier coach at the same club as his nephew, Choo Shin-soo, but the most important issue has been his past three drunk driving experiences.
In January 2009, when he was a wild man, he was sentenced to one and a half years in prison, three years of probation, two years of probation, and 160 hours of community service for obstructing the driving of a city bus driver while drunk. In the process, it was belatedly revealed that there were two more cases of drunk driving.
He was skeptical about the possibility of KBO disciplinary action because he was a wild man, but it was followed by an expectation compared to the case of Kang Jung-ho that he could refuse to register under the authority of the president.

In the end, coach Park Jung-tae expressed his resignation. Although he was willing to return to the field, he felt a great burden on public opinion and above all, the fact that it was a situation that damaged the club served as a burden on his mind. Coach Park Jung-tae said, `After the appointment, I heard the concerns of fans and baseball officials. I thought there was still something missing to return to the field, and I don't want to cause any concern to the fans and the club over this related issue. I will consider the role I can play for the development of the KBO League in a low position in the future"He expressed his intention to resign, and the club also accepted it after much consideration, and the resignation was confirmed.
After announcing his resignation, SSG issued an official apology to fans on the club's SNS. The club apologizes for causing concern to the fans through a series of events regarding the appointment of the Futures manager"In the future, the club will conduct a careful inspection and improvement of the overall work for the continuous development of the KBO League, and make every effort to appoint a manager who meets the eyes of the fans." Once again, I apologize for this incident, and I will work hard to reorganize the team as soon as possible and welcome the 2025 season with the best performanceposted an apology saying "
In fact, it is a very rare, extremely rare case for a coach to be replaced with such a huge controversy over the fact that he was appointed as a coach and eventually was about to start training. In particular, it is no exaggeration to describe it as an unprecedented situation in which the club has to issue an apology due to such controversy.

Former head coach Park Jung-tae was mentioned as a candidate since last year, but was selected as a strong candidate in November, and even the final confirmation was made, but there were many voices of opposition from within. Nevertheless, he pushed ahead with the appointment, but he hesitated for a long time until the announcement It was not easy to handle the aftermath after the announcement. In the end, it is compelling to admit that there was a problem with the internal personnel verification system. It was the past month when everything was a shame.
SSG's second team will eventually start training for the 2025 season without a coach. It is still questionable whether he will be able to appoint a coach before spring camp training, which will begin on February 10 in Kagoshima, Japan. For now, coaches in charge of each part will lead the training, and the club has expressed its intention to appoint a new head coach who can be recognized as soon as possible, including internal promotion and external recruitment.
