류 감독은 '박석민의 보상선수로 와서 나와 야구했고 내가 그만둔 2017년에는 우규민의 보상선수로 LG로 왔다더라'며 '아무래도 최재원이 나와 인연이 있는 것 같다'며 웃었다.
Coach Ryu said, "He came as a rewarding player for Park Seok-min and played with me, and in 2017 when I quit, he came to LG as a rewarding player for Woo Kyu-min. I think Choi Jae-won has something to do with me."
