The professional baseball team Hanwha Eagles has confirmed its first place in the first half of the season, and the team's owner, Kim Seung-yeon, chairman of Hanwha Group, also treated.
Hanwha announced that on the 10th, ahead of the game against KIA in Daejeon, Chairman Kim Seung-yeon delivered special encouragement gifts to the players and staff of Hanwha Eagles, who are performing well after confirming their first place in the regular season first half.
On that day, Chairman Kim presented T-bone steaks to not only the first team players but also to Futures League players and all the staff, wishing them health during the hot summer.
He also delivered AirPods Max to the 80 members of the first team and staff, who frequently travel between games for performance analysis and rest.
Chairman Kim added a note of encouragement with a handwritten card saying, "After a long period of endurance, the Eagles are flying the highest. Let's aim for an even higher ascent in the second half and claim the top spot!"
Chairman Kim's love for the Eagles is already well known.
He cheered alongside fans by attending Eagles games 9 times last season and 4 times this season. Last year, he also gifted all first team players portable smart TVs to wish for their successful performances.
The Hanwha players expressed their gratitude for Chairman Kim's encouragement and vowed to achieve good results in the second half.
"From supporting the construction of a new stadium to gifts for the players, all of us in the team feel grateful for the affectionate support from the chairman," said captain Chae Eun-seong. He added, "We will do our best to achieve good results in the second half to meet the support of the chairman and all employees of Hanwha Group, as well as the Eagles fans."
