LG Twins announced on 2026-04-02 that they have signed pitcher Go Woo-seok to a one-year contract worth 500 million won. [^1]

Go Woo-seok will not be available for the Korea Baseball Organization postseason because players must be on the active roster as of July 31 to be eligible. [^2]

Go Woo-seok, the LG Twins' former All-Star closer, rejoined the Korea Baseball Organization club this week after a 2 1/2-year stint in the United States, returning as a reinforcement for the team's ailing bullpen. [^3]

LG Twins manager Youm Kyoung-youb said on 2026-09-02 that he hopes Go Woo-seok will not have to pitch more than one inning per outing during the final stretch of the regular season, and that Go would only be asked to pitch two innings if the starter falters early or the team needs a bullpen game. [^4]

The LG Twins' pitching staff has been hit by injuries: closer You Young-chan underwent season-ending elbow surgery in April 2026, and setup men Kim Jin-sung and Jang Hyun-sik are out with injuries, with Jang having moved from the relief corps to the rotation amid more injuries among starters. [^5]

After being released from the Minnesota Twins without receiving an offer from other clubs, Go Woo-seok decided to return to his home team in the KBO league. [^6]

Go Woo-seok spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons attempting to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) across several teams including the San Diego Padres, Miami Marlins, Detroit Tigers, and Minnesota Twins. [^7]

Go Woo-seok has a career record of 19 wins, 26 losses, 139 saves, 6 holds, and a 3.18 ERA in the KBO league. [^8]
