Professional career
Upon graduation from Cheongwon High School in Seoul, Oh was drafted by the Hyundai Unicorns in the 2nd round (12th overall) of the 2004 KBO Draft. In the 2004 KBO season, Oh immediately earned a spot in the Unicorns starting rotation as a rookie. He finished his rookie season with a record of 10-9, an ERA of 3.99 and 113 strikeouts in 149 innings pitched. Oh helped lead the Unicorns to the 2004 Korean Series, where he started Game 5. In that game, Oh earned a win, allowing only one run over 5.1 innings against the Samsung Lions. At the end of the season, Oh won the 2004 KBO Rookie of the Year Award.

In 2006, Oh only appeared in 4 games, posting a 1-1 record and a 4.61 ERA in 13.2 innings pitched. After the season, he joined the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps Baseball Team to serve two years of mandatory military service.
In 2009, Oh returned to the pro league after finishing the military duty but had a mediocre comeback season, posting a 1-2 record and 5 holds with a 4.08 ERA as a relief pitcher.
In 2010, Oh played a vital role in the Heroes' bullpen, appearing in a team-leading 69 games (4th in the league). He lowered his ERA to 2.38 and notched 9 holds with a record of 1-0.
In 2011, Oh had the best season as a setup man, racking up a career-high 20 holds which ranked him third behind Jung Woo-Ram's 25 and Jong Hyun-Wook's 24. He was the only Hero relief pitcher to appear in over 60 games for two consecutive seasons.
