"Coach Park Chul-woo told me he had heard many times that our (Jeon) Yu-seok is kind and diligent. I was so moved by those words that I burst into tears."

On the day her only son, Jeon Yu-seok, 21, of Chungbu University, who is following in the footsteps of his mother and grandmother as a third-generation volleyball player, finally entered the professional league, what brought mo
‘Dream of four straight losses after two wins’ repaid with first four-game winning streak in two years! Japan’s SoftBank, NPB’s first 7-game sweep to claim Japan Series title… ‘Law school graduate’ Masaki named MVP

SoftBank secured a 4-2 comeback victory over Yokohama in Game 4 of the 2026 NPB Japan S

The core lineup is not an issue. Ultimately, the two veteran batters who must solve what comes next need to come alive. In the 2026 KBO League Playoffs (PO), Samsung Lions and KIA Tigers, who faced off, fell into the same dilemma.

"Back after a year off, more desperate than anyone else": From FA orphan to basketball academy coach to player's return... Choi Seung-uk explodes for 9 points in overtime: "Just running on the court is happiness"
Just a year ago, he could not have stood on a professional basketball court. But now, he has transformed into the go-to player responsible for his team's victories.
