"I'd like to give him even more vacation" — Manager Park Chi-wang captivated by Lotte's promising prospect Lee Tae-kyung: "He may look rough around the edges, but his focus is top-notch," he praised
"I want to give him more vacation. Isn't that the best gift for a player?" A satisfied smile spread across the face of Manager Park Chi-wang (57) of the Sangmu Army, who reclaimed the throne of the Futures League. When asked about rewarding the star player during the post-game official interview, he named infielder Lee Tae-kyung (24) without hesitation. Sangmu lifted the championship trophy after defeating the Ulsan Whales 8-3 in the "2026 Medihil Futures League Championship" held at Seoul Goche
'First match was hope, second was shock' The true face of Moreno's team... 'Two extremes' in two games, the test has now begun [On-site at Sangam]
The first match was hope. The second was shock. The Korean national football team, which announced a new start under interim manager Roberto Moreno, showed two extremes in just two matches. The Republic of Korea national football team led by Manager Moreno suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat against Uruguay in the Hana Bank Invitational National Team Friendly Match held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th. The start was good. In Manager Moreno's debut match against Ecuador, held at Suwon World Cup St
When will we stop clinging to the "military medal"? Exemption from military service for just one Asian Games... It is time to introduce a "military service point system" based on combined results in the Olympics, WBC, and Premier 12 [Lee Jong-seong's Sports Culture & Industry]
South Korean baseball defeated Japan 3-1 in a nail-biting match on the 27th, achieving a fifth consecutive title at the Asian Games. However, this feat had a dark side: the extreme burden of the team's "absolute must-win" mentality. Since baseball became an official event at the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games, South Korea has won the gold medal every time except for two occasions. The decisive reason for South Korean baseball's strong performance at the Asian Games is military service benefits and t
Lost to An Se-young, yet "a natural outcome" — China's Chen Yufei also acknowledged it... "Lacking in depth of skill compared to my opponent" [Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games]
Chen Yufei (China), who suffered another decisive defeat against An Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance), acknowledged the gap in ability rather than offering excuses. An Se-young, ranked No. 1 in the world in women's singles badminton, comprehensively defeated No. 4 Chen Yufei 2-0 (21-5, 21-12) in the women's singles semifinal of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games held on the 28th at Ichinomiya City Gymnasium in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The match unfolded far more one-sidedly than expected. The gam
Shocking! Will the March WBC disappear? "Considering holding it during the July All-Star break" MLB also suffering severe aftereffects
Signs are emerging that the "March hosting" formula of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) may be broken. Major League Baseball (MLB) team general managers have begun to voice support for moving the tournament schedule to the "July All-Star Break" to prevent pitcher injuries. The prominent U.S. media outlet "USA Today" reported on the 28th (Korean time), "Although the WBC is scheduled to be held in 2030, two years after the 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics, MLB general managers want to change the for
