Moon Dong-ju (20-Hanwha Eagles) is the first rookie to be crowned by the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) in 17 years. He is popularly known as the "Prince of Daejeon," and as he became the rookie of the year, the enthusiasm of fans to get commemorative products has skyrocketed.

"We started pre-ordering commemorative products for Moon Dong-ju on the 29th of last month, and on the first day alone, we achieved more than 200 million won in sales, setting a record for the most sales of a club commemorative product in a single day," Hanwha said.

The commemorative products include a jersey, a commemorative ball, a medal, a ring, and a photo card. They are available for pre-order on the Hanwha Eagles Online Shop until midnight on May 5. "The online shop received more than 10,000 visitors shortly after opening, causing the server to crash for more than an hour," Hanwha said. 안전토토사이트

Fans are just as enthusiastic offline. On the 29th of last month, more than 1,000 fans and citizens gathered at a fan signing event at Hanwha Galleria Time World in Daejeon. Fans also flocked to the pop-up display of commemorative goods from the "Daejeon Prince's Room" on the first floor of the department store, which ran for five days.

Encouraged by the enthusiasm for Moon's commemorative merchandise, Hanwha plans to launch a 'player brand' for Hanwha's major players to enhance related products. "We will also continue to work with Galleria Department Store to strengthen customer service and grow together," added Mr. Kim.
