Amid a storm of "retire" calls directed at Kim Min-jae, a 'turning point' emerges... Arsenal extends an offer worth 53.5 billion won: "We need KIM to win the EPL and UCL"
Arsenal, the 'defending champion' of the English Premier League (EPL), is targeting Kim Min-jae (30, Bayern Munich). If the transfer materializes, Kim Min-jae will become the 21st Korean player in Premier League history. German outlet CF Bayern Insider reported on the 15th (Korean time), citing a statement by reporter Christian Falk, that "Kim Min-jae has officially been added to Arsenal's transfer list." The outlet cited a chain of injuries within the existing defensive line as the reason Arsen
“Tangled bullpen + defense with the most errors”: Hanwha’s comprehensive crisis, and the appointment of Manager Ryu Ji-hyun who perfectly matched the direction needed
The team that finished second last year has fallen to ninth place this season. While many factors contributed, the bullpen remained unsettled, and the defense recorded the most errors in the league, causing difficulties throughout the season that ultimately could not be overcome. To resolve these issues, the Hanwha Eagles appointed Ryu Ji-hyun (55) as their new manager. Hanwha will hold an inauguration ceremony and press conference for the new manager on the 16th at Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark.
"My heart aches, my daughter" — Who would have known it would be his last words? Sudden death in just 15 minutes sends shockwaves... Former boxing champion leaves behind 15 children as he "departs for heaven"

The British media outlet "The Sun" reported on the 16th (Korean time) that "Castro collapsed from a heart attack and died at a bingo hall in Argentina on the 14th." True to his nickname "Locomotora (institutional investor car)," Castro was a boxing legend who earned the deep affection of fans not only in his home country of Argentina but around the world, thanks to his relentless, forward-charging figh
"Even on her knees, the badminton goddess blocks it all" — 98.3% win rate, a remarkable feat... An Se-young advances to Denmark Open quarterfinals, setting stage for historic 11th title of the season
World No. 1 women's badminton player An Se-young (24, Samsung Life) advanced past the round of 16 at the Denmark Open, cruising toward a second consecutive title at the tournament and her ninth victory of the season. On the 15th (Korean time), An defeated Line Christophersen (Denmark, world No. 12) 2-0 (21-17, 21-9) in the women's singles round of 16 at the 2026 BWF World Tour Denmark Open (Super 750) held in Odense, Denmark.

The KT Wiz's first-place finish in the 2026 regular season was far from an unbroken, dominant run from start to finish. Key position players were sidelined all at once, and as the pitching staff wavered, there were months when the team's winning percentage fell below .500. In September, when the race for the top spot was at its most intense, two starting pitchers and the closer simultaneously departed for the Asian Games. Even so, KT finished the regular season with a record of 90 wins, 5 draws,
