“I don’t know if I will be there...”

Eldest brother Choo Shin-soo (41) had a happy time. That's why I feel even more regretful. He said he had a happy time. He emphasized that pain can be nourishment.

SSG lost 6-7 against NC in the third game of the 2023 KBO semi-playoffs held at Changwon NC Park on the 25th. After repeated reversals and reversals, we suffered a disappointing defeat.

And with this loss, SSG's fall ended. They lost both the first and second games held in Incheon, and lost again in Changwon. 3 losses and elimination. We finished in 3rd place after fierce competition at the end of the regular season, but the fall ended too briefly.

Choo Shin-soo’s 2023 season has also concluded. He performed well as the team's eldest member and leadoff. I am not satisfied with the ending. Still, he was calm. In any case, the results must be accepted.

Choo Shin-soo, whom we met after the game, said, “As expected, losing hurts. More than 90% of my baseball career has been losing seasons. Except for winning last year, it’s 100%. There is a temperature difference from last year. If you lose, yes. He played for just one championship all year. “I feel like I lost everything in three days,” he said.

He appeared in 112 games in this year's regular season, producing a batting average of 0.254, 12 home runs, 41 RBIs, 65 runs, and an OPS of 0.777. Based on his numbers, this could be said to be his worst season since his KBO League debut. Still, he showed his strength by producing a wRC+ (adjusted scoring production) of 123.0.

In the semi-playoffs, he hit 3 hits in 9 at-bats and a batting average of 0.333 in 3 games. His walks also resulted in two. He wasn't bad. However, he could not prevent the team from losing.

Choo Shin-soo said, “I said that to the players at the post-game meeting. '2021 ended with one wild card game. Team Kang does not forget that pain and engraves it deeply in their hearts. 'It's important not to experience pain next time,' he said. “We must keep this pain in a corner of our hearts while preparing for next year,” he urged.

He continued, “Last year, we achieved truly unbelievable results. It turned out just as I wanted. There were some sick players this year. Actually, it can happen. The players fought well until the end. We have experience winning last year. The players did not give up. In the end, I was able to finish in 3rd place. “It is a big harvest,” he emphasized.

In addition, “Growing is not just about success. I believe that we grow more through the pain of failure. This is true for individuals and teams. Didn’t we overcome the pain of 2021 and succeed in winning the combined championship in 2022? This year, I overcame difficulties and came in third place. “I hope we can train and prepare in the winter with this feeling,” he added.
