KT Wiz’s outstanding crisis management… Turned the worst crisis into an opportunity
As soon as the demand for Park Byung-ho's release became known, a decision was made immediately.
KT-Samsung, Park Byung-ho-Oh Jae-il's trade made everyone laugh.
In any normal group of people, conflict is bound to appear at any time.

It is the front office's important role to resolve conflicts and keep the team focused.
The skills of the front office are revealed when unexpected problems within the team arise.
Professional baseball KT Wiz deserves applause for quickly resolving the major negative news of a key hitter's request for release.
KT suffered a large tsunami on the afternoon of the 28th.
This is after news became known that Park Byeong-ho, the former home run king and center hitter, had requested the team to release him.
KT, which had been persuading Park Byung-ho for a long time, quickly changed its stance.
We decided that we could no longer persuade Park Byung-ho and set out to find a way for the club to move forward.
The first thing he did was erase ‘release’ from the number of cases.
A KT official said, “Park Byung-ho is the home run king and a legend,” and added, “If we release an iconic player, our team’s image and the player’s reputation will inevitably be tarnished.”
Disciplinary group 2 neglect was also not considered.
Park Byeong-ho could have been accused of doing something that harmed the team atmosphere, but KT did not choose this method.
An official said, “Ignoring the second team is the worst move,” and “It is killing not only the club but also the players.”
KT decided that trade was the only solution.
And quickly began suturing surgery.
KT fought against time.
In order for the Park Byung-ho incident not to have a negative impact on the team atmosphere, the trade had to be completed within an early hour.
KT general manager Na Do-hyeon has been busy contacting other teams since the afternoon of the 28th when the Park Byeong-ho issue arose.
Some clubs even offered trade cards that were close to a bargain to KT, which was on the brink.
It was difficult for KT to accept.
Just then, the Samsung Lions, who were thirsty for a big hit, responded, and a one-on-one trade with Oh Jae-il was completed in one fell swoop.
KT announced the trade news immediately after the game on the 28th, putting an end to the Park Byeong-ho situation within a few hours.
With this trade, KT achieved the best results.
The team atmosphere recovered quickly, and in terms of power, a veteran first base backup left-handed hitter was acquired to replace Sang-cheol Moon.
Oh Jae-il's annual salary is 500 million won, which is less than Park Byeong-ho's (700 million won), so he also benefited from the club's operating expenses.
Samsung also quenched its thirst for slugging as a right-handed hitter and lessened its worries about long hits.
Above all, the player who greatly benefited from this trade was Byung-ho Park.
Daegu Samsung Lions Park, Samsung's home stadium, is known as the most hitter-friendly stadium among the 10 home stadiums of domestic teams.
Byung-ho Park can now freely demonstrate his slugging power.
Oh Jae-il also provided an opportunity to overcome his recent slump and take a leap forward again.
