Puyi, who commanded the major leagues, joined the Kiwoom Sling Camp set up in Goheung, Jeollanam-do and greeted him for the first time.
[Yasiel Puig / Kiwoom Outfielder: Hello!
Nice to meet you!]
[Yasiel Puig/Kiwoom Outfielder: I am happy to have the opportunity to come to Korea.
I am happy to be joining the team training.]
Puig also contacted his best friend Ryu Hyun-jin during self-quarantine, and
asked [Yasiel Puig/Kiwoom Outfielder: How is life in Korea?
I want to go back to Seoul and see you when the time comes.]
He said that he also enjoyed the Beijing Olympics.
[Yasiel Puig / Kiwoom outfielder: I saw a Korean athlete (Hwang Dae-heon) win a gold medal on an Olympic broadcast yesterday.]
And I asked him to forget about the 'bad boy' image.
[Yasiel Puig / Kiwoom Outfielder: (If it gets hit by a pitch) I won't do anything.
I'm going to go to first base and only try to steal second base.
The goal is for the team to win the Korean Series.]
Puig showed off his unique powerful swing and started to adapt smoothly.
[Lee Jeong-hoo/Kiwoom outfielder: (Puig) was shy, so he asked if he had tried soju in Korea (I asked), and below 25 degrees is not even alcohol.
I hope that they will get along with me and eat a delicious RBI.]
Puy, who is receiving great expectations, is paying attention to whether he will take off his evil image and become a KBO league star as he promised.
