'Lee Kang-in vs Valverde → Atletico vs Real Madrid' Openly Attacked on SNS... Historic Conflict 'Flaring Up'
The fallout is severe. Doubts over the ruling regarding Lee Kang-in's (25) rough tackle have escalated into a direct confrontation between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Spanish media outlet 'Marca' reported on the 22nd (Korean time), stating, "Atletico reacted with heightened emotion to the frustration manager Jose Mourinho expressed at his post-match press conference following the Madrid derby defeat."

Reactions of surprise emerged from Japan toward the South Korean men's basketball team that claimed the Asian Games title without any naturalized big man.

Kiwoom manager leaves a congratulatory message for Ha Hyun-seung: "Sincerely welcome... regarding dual-role pitching and batting..."
As expected, Kiwoom Heroes selected 'elite high school talent' Ha Hyun-seung. The manager of Kiwoom did not hold back in offering warm welcomes and affectionate advice to the rookie who earned the honor of being chosen first overall in the 2027 KBO Rookie Draft. While leaving open the possibility of challenging the professional stage with a dual role (pitching and batting), which has become a major point of interest, he also clarified plans to implement a cautious development process.
