Kim Jeong-joon (53), the head coach of LG, revealed his own special determination to win.
The LG Twins held a New Year’s ceremony at Jamsil Stadium on the 4th. The event was attended by Kim In-seok, CEO of LG Sports, general manager Cha Myung-seok, head coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop, coaching staff, players, and front desk staff.
At this meeting, head coach Kim said, “There is something I have been preparing since I came to the LG Twins.” “It was the opponent team for the 2022 season, but everyone here fought really hard. I wanted to tell them that I worked hard when I met . I am fortunate that this opportunity came.”
Head coach Kim, also known as the son of former coach Kim Seong-geun, joined the LG Twins in 1992 after graduating from Chungam Elementary School, Chungam Middle School, Chungam High School, and Yonsei University. That year, he made his first-team debut and played in five matches before dropping his active uniform.
Afterwards, head coach Kim started a second life as a data expert based on his knowledge of baseball. He served as a power analyst for LG Twins and a power analyst for SK Wyverns (predecessor of SSG Landers) and served as SK hitting coach and Hanwha power analysis coach. Ahead of the 2022 season, he took over as head of the SSG Landers data center and contributed to the first unified victory since its founding. 토토사이트
LG took second place in the pennant race following SSG Landers last season. Still, he showed his potential by threatening SSG until the end of the season. Now, LG appoints coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop, a “master general,” to challenge for the championship.
Head coach Kim cheered, saying, “We live in a world where results are everything. But without process, we have no future. Since you showed a faithful process last year, I think there will be really good results this season.”
Finally, he said, “I’ve been in the Korean Series 11 times and won 5 times,” and then said, “I’ll go up to the 12th Korean Series this season and win the 6th to fill 50%. As much as I worked hard last year, I will do my best this year in good health. I hope you can spend an enjoyable season while doing your best.”
