Ko Woo-seok also started posting on the 5th, started negotiations between KBO brother-in-law and brother-in-law at the same time

KBO League's same-age brother-in-law and brother-in-law, Lee Jung-hoo (25, Kiwoom) and Ko Woo-seok (25, LG) will start their Major League posting schedule at the same time.


Bob Nightingale, a columnist for USA Today in the U.S., said on the 5th, "Ko Woo-suk was posted. The negotiation period is from 8 a.m. on the 5th (10 p.m. on the 5th in Korean time) to January 3rd next year (January 4th in Korean time)." This is exactly the same as Lee Jung-hoo's negotiation period announced by the Kiwoom club on the 4th.

If the MLB Secretariat notifies 30 clubs of the posting, they can freely negotiate with all 30 MLB clubs from 8 a.m. the next day to 5 p.m. on the 30th day of the U.S. Eastern Time. Following the local media earlier, Kiwoom said Lee Jung-hoo's posting will begin on the 5th.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) requested Lee Jung-hoo's posting to the Major League Baseball Secretariat on November 24 at Kiwoom's request. On November 28, it requested Ko Woo-seok's posting at LG's request. The posting process was delayed a little due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., and accordingly, the posting of Lee Jung-hoo and Ko Woo-seok seems to begin at the same time.

Lee Jung-hoo is the representative outfielder of the KBO League, and Ko Woo-seok is the finalist of the national team. Last winter, when Ko Woo-seok married Lee Jung-hoo's sister, the two became brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and the two, who were in the same year, tried to post in the same year, and the posting negotiation period was the same.

However, the posting situation is slightly different. Lee Jung-hoo, who already made a name for himself as a star in the KBO League in the U.S., is already drawing keen attention from the Major League Stove League. Some predict that he will be able to sign a large-scale contract worth 60 million to 90 million dollars.

Unlike Lee Jung-hoo, who agreed with Kiwoom a year ago and prepared for posting, Ko Woo-suk consulted with LG after winning the Korean Series this year and just received permission to post. The actual local assessment of Ko's value is expected to be revealed only after negotiations begin.
