Expectations were even higher for this fan signing event as it was Lee Hyung-jong’s first official event to meet fans after transferring to Kiwoom.
However, on the 21st, during the first game of the double header against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil, Lee Hyeong-jong was hit on the top of his left foot by his own foul ball and broke his bone.
Hyung-jong Lee went on the operating table on the 25th, and it is expected to take about 3 months to return.
It is a rare sight to see a player who has just undergone surgery appear at an autograph session.
Lee Hyeong-jong showed his determination to the club, saying that he wanted to keep his promise to the fans, and in addition to the autograph session, the club held a cheering event through social media and invited 25 fans to the stadium.
Lee Hyung-jong and the fans spent time together watching the video prepared by the club, and Choi Jang-seong, who is a big fan of Lee Hyung-jong, even left a message wishing for Lee’s recovery on the cast worn by Lee Hyung-jong.
Hyungjong Lee presented an autographed uniform and autographed ball.
Hyungjong Lee said, “The fan signing event was a promise I made to the fans, so I wanted to keep it.
I am grateful to the club for providing this opportunity.
He promised, “I will receive good treatment and return quickly to show you a good image.”
