Jeong Cheol-won, along with Kim Gwang-hyun (SSG) and Lee Yong-chan (NC), aroused public outrage over drinking during the WBC (World Baseball Classic) in March. According to the KBO investigation, while the tournament was held from the arrival of the players in Tokyo on March 7 to the match against China on the 13th, it was revealed that Jeong Cheol-won went to an entertainment bar with Kim Gwang-hyun on the 11th, right after the Japan match ended.

Jeong Cheol-won spent 11 days of self-reflection after the expulsion of the first group on the 2nd. During this period, he did not appear in the Futures League, and he heard the news of the suspension at Icheon Bears Park. Doosan filled the void by calling up Lee Young-ha, who was acquitted of school violence while Jeong Cheol-won left.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop said, “I met Cheol-won Jeong briefly before the game.” Also, it wasn’t a good influence for the team. Feeling sorry for the fans, I think he will have to play the whole season.”
“In fact, while the players were away, our players did their best, but there were many difficult games. So I hope he will take responsibility and not deviate any further for the rest of the season.”

Unfortunately, Jeong Cheol-won had the worst comeback match of the day. Although he climbed the mound in the ninth inning, leading 11-1, he walked leaders Park Kun-woo and Jason Martin in succession, and Kim Seong-wook’s selection of a fielder and Yoon Hyeong-jun’s third baseman’s floating ball led to two outs, first and third basemen, and Park Se-hyuk, who worked together last year, scored three points. Allowed a home run. The first pitch, 148km fastball, was savagely headed over the right wall. Jeong Cheol-won finished the game by catching Kim Han-byeol on the first pitch with a ground ball to the first baseman with no runners in the second out.
Meanwhile, NC Lee Yong-chan was also registered as a first-team entry prior to the game on the 13th. NC coach Kang In-kwon said, “I am not so concerned about the sense of the game, but the most important thing is how he controls the psychological part after getting up from the mound. I think it’s a part that Lee Yong-chan has to overcome on his own,” he said with strength, saying, “It is important to reflect on what needs to be reflected on, and now to re-establish your mind and show yourself in the stadium.”
