“When I was struggling, she assisted me a lot psychologically to get me back on track,” Choi said through the team, “I feel sorry to announce my wedding plan well ahead of the wedding date when my team performance is not good, but I did so because I want to concentrate on baseball with a light heart by clearing up my personal situation.”
They plan to set up their home in Gwangju after getting married.
