JUPITER, Fla. • I actually don't speak Korean. So in efforts to communicate with Seung Hwan Oh, the Cardinals' new relief pitcher, I tried to break the ice by playing him his walk-in music on my phone. Except when I clicked on the YouTube link, it played a Pep Boys commercial.

And so, Oh, myself and Oh's translator stood in awkward silence for 15 seconds, watching a commercial in English about water repellent wiper blades. And then, finally – BUMM, BUMM, BUMM! The song began, and Oh cracked a smile.

The song is “Lazenca, Save Us," by the Korean rock group N.E.X.T., not to be confused with the American R&B group Next, who did the songs “Too Close” and “Wifey.”

Oh's agent and translator, Douglas Kim, explained that Oh came out of the 'pen to this song in the Korea Baseball Organization, not most recently in Japan.

“Fans decided it, the fans voted for it,” Oh said. “This was their favorite.”

Kim explained that Oh, alas, won't use “Lazenca, Save Us” at Busch Stadium.
