There are only two more shots left until the first 500 home runs in the KBO League history.
Choi Jung (38), an immortal boy businessman who never gets old or disappears, is set to break the KBO League's most meaningful record.토토사이트
It is a new era in which Lee Seung-yeop (current Doosan manager) and Park Byung-ho (Samsung) achieved the first 500 home runs in the KBO League.
Earlier, Choi hit a three-run homer in the first inning in an away game against the Lotte Giants of the 2025 professional baseball Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held in Sajik on May 5, marking his 498th career homer. Choi failed to add a homer in the game on May 6, but he has only two homers left until the milestone.
This is Choi Jeong's 500th homerun record, which was initially expected to be achieved sooner than this. However, as he hurt his hamstring ahead of the opening of the season, he started the season belatedly after May.
As Choi Jeong's injury was prolonged, there was a great concern within the team and in the baseball community that his injury was quite serious. Even in fact, SSG rarely predicted the timing of Choi's recovery.
Considering that Choi Jeong is 38 years old this year, he will find his normal condition considering the time of recovery
It is true that there was also a lot of concern that it would be the worst start to the season if it took longer.
However, Choi Jeong completely dispelled such concern by making a comeback. He hit a home run in his first at-bat after returning to the game against LG Electronics in Jamsil on May 2. He went silent on May 3 due to no hit in four times at bat, but he hit home runs in two consecutive games on May 4 and 5, marking his 498th career home run. He had more than a month of hiatus for actual games, but he has hit as many as three home runs in just five games after his return.
And Choi Jeong's 500 personal home runs are expected to be another valuable milestone that will be an immortal milestone at the same time as this perfect revival.
Choi is already breaking the KBO league record of most home runs in every single home run. He has surpassed Lee Seung-yeop's 467th home run record in the 2024 season. Among active players, Park Byung-ho (412 home runs) and Choi Hyung-woo (400 home runs, KIA) are the next, but the gap is quite wide.
If Choi Jung, who has the record of the first 19 consecutive seasons of double-digit home runs and three home run kings, steps up to the 500-homer mark, which was unprecedented in the KBO League, it will not be easy for anyone to overcome this record for the time being.
In addition, 500 home runs are expected to be a meaningful stop for Choi, who will never wane, to record another home run. Choi's 500-homer celebration will soon embroider the ballpark.
