Waking Up at 2 a.m. to See Ryu Hyun-jin… Hanwha Fans ‘Weekday Open Run’
Even office workers went to the open run early in the morning on weekdays to watch Ryu Hyun-jin’s game after returning to Hanwha.
Shin Woo-jae (26), an office worker and baseball fan living in Daejeon,
woke up to an alarm on his cell phone at 2:30 a.m. on the 12th,
put on his Hanwha uniform, and left home through the pitch-black darkness.

At dawn, a long line formed and eventually extended outside the stadium.
Vendors selling food and beverages, including chicken, gathered near the stadium,
and one candidate for the general election even engaged in election activities.
He even had dozens of reporters visit the stadium.
Their ‘open run’ is due to the exhibition game between Hanwha and KIA Tigers held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park on this day.
Hanwha’s hero Ryu Hyun-jin played his first actual game today after returning to Hanwha after finishing his career in the Major League Baseball (MLB).

Ryu Hyun-jin also pitched in the Blue and White match held at the same venue on the 7th, but no spectators were allowed at the time.
On this day, it was the first game in which Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound after the stadium was opened.
Shin Woo-jae, who was the first of the entire audience to enter the stadium, said,
“I wanted to see Ryu Hyun-jin’s first pitch from a good position,
so I took leave from work and came here.
I woke up at 2:30 this morning and I’m not tired at all.”
On this day, rain was forecast in Daejeon, making it uncertain whether the game itself would happen.
The weather was chilly, and the game started at 1 p.m. on a weekday,
making it difficult for baseball fans to visit the field.
However, Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park was crowded with baseball fans who wanted to see Ryu Hyun-jin, and the first floor of the infield space opened by the club was quickly filled.
A Hanwha official said, “A total of 6,600 seats, including center seats and the first and second infield floors, were opened for free, and approximately 3,500 people entered.”
