Heo Min, chairman of the board of directors of the professional baseball team, was criticized for practicing pitching against second-team players last year.

As it turned out, it turned out that he also played'baseball game' against the first-team star players.

There is great concern about privatizing the club.



This is the exclusive report by reporter Kim Jung-woo.

In January of last year, Kiwoom's 1st team signboards received a sudden call from the head of the club.



It was to visit the Wemake office building in Gangnam, Seoul to celebrate the inauguration of former WeMef CEO Heo Min as chairman of the club's board of directors.



It is unusual for a professional baseball player to be mobilized to celebrate the inauguration of a club officer.



In the field, it was more embarrassing.



After playing the catch ball at the baseball practice field next to Chairman Huh and his office wearing gloves, he had to watch the knuckleball thrown by Chairman Huh from the plate and evaluate the pitch.



In response, Hasong Kiwoom Heroes representative argued that "the players voluntarily played a light catch ball out of curiosity and watched Chairman Huh's pitch."



However, at the time, the player who had to deal with Chairman Heo's pitch complained to his acquaintance, "I was embarrassed by the sudden offer."



Chairman Huh was criticized for starting the spring camp practice game in February and pitching live with a second-team batter in June.



However, even the flagship players of the first team were treated as their'baseball opponents'.



Suddenly last week, coach Sohn Hyeok was ``virtually hard'', calling for intense backlash from the baseball world, raising concerns about Chairman Huh's privatization of the club.
