After graduating from high school, Choo Shin-soo, a promising player in Busan baseball, went to the U.S. and overcame a long career in the minor league before advancing to the MLB. Recognized as a key player and representative member of MLB, he became the first Korean big leaguer to sign a contract worth 100 million U.S. dollars. Since then, he played for seven seasons as the leader of the Texas clubhouse.

Choo chose to go to the KBO League after the end of the 2020 season and became the first player recruited by SSG Landers. In the following year, he led SSG to an overall championship. Although he failed to display his skills due to injury this season, he continued to give examples to his juniors.
