I also learned Pilates for core exercise,” he emphasized.
Jeon Eui-san, who said that more people are recognizing Incheon than before, said, “I want to complete this year while keeping my first team position from start to finish. My goal is to hit 20 homers while playing full-time.” I will do my best to repay the team that gives me many opportunities.”
