Actor Ha Jung-woo, a Loyal LG Twins Fan for 33 Years, Shares Joy Over Championship Win

Actor Ha Jung-woo has expressed his heartfelt congratulations for the LG Twins' first Korean Series championship in 29 years, sharing his emotions as a long-time fan.

Ha Jung-woo confessed that he became an LG Twins fan during their MBC Blue Dragons era in the 1980s when he was just a child. He fondly recalled the joy of their championship wins in 1990 and 1994, remembering dancing at the stadium with the 'Shinbaram Trio' of Ryu Ji-hyun, Kim Jae-hyun, and Seo Yong-bin.

Despite the team's long periods of struggle, often referred to as their 'dark ages,' which lasted nearly 20 years, Ha Jung-woo consistently cheered them on, chanting 'Invincible LG.' His dedication was evident in his appearances, such as during the commentary for the film 'Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time,' where he wore an LG uniform and expressed his desire to throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Considering Jamsil Baseball Stadium as a 'second home,' Ha Jung-woo participated as a storyteller in the documentary 'Our Game: LG Twins,' released to commemorate the 2023 championship. His narration went beyond a simple recounting of events, deeply resonating with fans by empathizing with the team's struggles and triumphs.

Following the LG Twins' dominant performance, securing first place in the regular season with a winning percentage over 60% and ultimately winning the Korean Series, Ha Jung-woo conveyed his touching sentiments: 'I sincerely congratulate the LG Twins on their championship. As a long-time fan, I feel this joy together and will always support you. You all worked very hard.'

Netizens reacted warmly to Ha Jung-woo's long-standing fan declaration, with comments like 'As expected, the icon of LG's second-half championship!', 'It's truly a happy victory. It's even more touching that Ha Jung-woo congratulated us too,' and 'I've been a fan since the 90s, and this really brings tears to my eyes.'
