馬山龍馬高校の投手チャン・ヒョンソク(18)がメジャーリーグのLAドジャースのユニフォームを着る。


チャン・ヒョンスのエージェントであるリコスポーツは9日、「チャン・ヒョンスクがLAドジャースと契約金90万ドル(約11億8800万ウォン)で契約を締結した」と明らかにした。


2004年生まれの右腕投手であるチャン・ヒョンスクは、高校の最大어로挙げられる。昨年から最高時速157キロの速球を投げ、KBOリーグとメジャーリーグのスカウトの目に留まった。 また、アマチュア選手としては唯一、杭州アジア大会野球代表に選ばれたこともある。


チャン・ヒョンソクは「ドジャースという名門球団に入団できて光栄だ。私を選んでくれた分、一生懸命努力して発展する選手になりたい」と感想を述べた。


ドジャースは韓国のファンにも非常に身近な球団だ。コリアン特急」パク・チャンホ、「コリアンモンスター」リュ・ヒョンジュン(トロント・ブルージャイアンツ)がドジャースのユニフォームを着てビッグリーグに入団した。韓国人社会が発達しているため、韓国人選手が適応しやすいと言われている。


一方、チャン・ヒョンソクのドジャース入団会見は14日、ソウル・ドラゴンシティホテルで行われる予定だ。

Japan Meteorological Agency lists Dokdo as Japanese territory on weather map for Typhoon No. 7 Lan

▲일본 기상청에 표기된 독도. 사진제공=서경덕 교수 The Japan Meteorological Agency has sparked controversy for labeling Dokdo as Japanese territory on a weather map of Typhoon No. 7. On the 16th, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, sent a protest email to the Japan Meteorological Agency through social networking services (SNS), demanding that the agency correct its mistake of labeling Dokdo as Japanese land. "The Japan Meteorological Agency has always labeled Dokdo as '竹島' (Takeshima), and we have been protesting against this for three years. The biggest problem is that many Japanese netizens visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's website during typhoon and tsunami warnings, which can create a false perception of Dokdo," he said. "In this protest email, we said, 'This is a clear territorial provocation. Dokdo is an undisputed territory of the Republic of Korea under historical, geographical, and international law." Professor Seo said that not o...

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

   Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...
