<Anchor> With
his tireless fighting spirit, he led his team to the overall Korean Series championship.
After a long time of staying as a supporting actor, KT WIZ's Park Kyung-soo, who has emerged as the protagonist of a hot fall baseball after 19 years of pro debut, joins us today as the first guest.
Q. How have you been after winning the Korean Series?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): I have some injuries, so I am currently rehabilitating. I still can't get out of that feeling when I won.]
Q. What is your current injury status?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball Player (KT WIZ): As of today, I took off my crutches a little. I'm still in need of rehabilitation, so I'm rehabilitating with the trainers.]
Q. From winning the first win in life to MVP... How do you feel?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): In the Korean series that I have been dreaming of the most, we won the combined championship, and there, I received another big award called Korea Series MVP. But I don't think that's an award I received because I did well. Because of our team members, I think it was an opportunity for me to enjoy such a great honor, so I feel very grateful to my juniors.]
Q. The title of 'The Oldest MVP Player'...
How do you feel?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): Well.
Well, a little bit about being the oldest, but I think that MVP award is a very honorable award because it is not given to anyone.]
Q. Tears after winning the first combined championship…
What did it mean?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): I think I was a tearful with a lot of meaning.
And we got the championship we wanted so much, and we actually knew a little about the retirement of Han Jun-yi, who was the best.
That's why I think it's the tears that came out of these emotions.]
Q. Winning ceremony…
How do you feel when walking on crutches?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): There really was another kind of emotion, sorry for the juniors, and thank you.
I really feel like I want to do everything for my juniors.
(Okay. You went up to the players and threw crutches, how did you try to do that?) No.
It wasn't a staged action at all.
I saw them looking like they wanted to hold each other together.
Without realizing it, I threw the crutches, but I think many people were impressed again.]
Q. One defense in the second game… How was it possible?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball Player (KT WIZ): I think it was the moment when I really showed my best concentration while playing baseball while playing a big game in the Korean series. That's why there was such a defense, I thought. Also, at that time, the youngest player, Sook-Jun So, came out, and the youngest pitched to help the seniors, and the youngest threw that thought to reduce the burden.]
Q. 19 years of professional debut… What motivated you to walk?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): I think the biggest driving force is my family and my parents. I wonder if I was able to do my job silently because he always believed in me no matter what position I was in. Of course I'm almost at the end of my playing career now, actually. I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am very grateful to my parents and that you have worked hard during this time.]
Q. What message do you want to convey to those who are going through difficult times?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball Player (KT WIZ): Actually, I have always dreamed of winning the Korean Series and being the MVP during my professional baseball career.
But I don't think I did anything special to get this result.
So, rather than thinking in a hurry to get such a result quickly, if I just do my best according to the position I am in, an opportunity will come and I will also receive such an honorable award. I wonder if I can deliver a message to many people.]
Q. Do you have any goals or wishes you want to achieve in the future?
[Park Kyung-soo/Baseball player (KT WIZ): I was so happy, honored, and happy to win this year, and everyone was so happy.
So I hope to win one more championship before retiring.]
