History

The franchise was originally known as the Sammi Superstars and had subsequent incarnations as the Chongbo Pintos and Taepyoungyang Dolphins. The team was renamed the Hyundai Unicorns after being sold to Hyundai in 1996, and was relocated from Incheon to Suwon. The Unicorns won the KBO championship four times (1998, 2000, 2003 and 2004), with only the Haitai Tigers (now Kia Tigers) having a better record of championship victories. But in 2008, the team was disbanded. After that, Centennial Investments founded a new team called Woori Heroes. On February 8, 2010, naming rights were sold to Nexen Tire. The Heroes play their home games at the Mokdong Baseball Stadium in the Yangcheon-gu of Seoul.

Like other baseball teams in Korea (and contrary to most professional teams in other sports around the world) the team is known primarily by the name of the sponsor, occasionally as their nickname, and never as the city in which they are based.
