Major League Baseball (MLB) has requested the identities of Lee Jung-hoo (25) and Ko Woo-seok (25), who are brother-in-law and sister-in-law.



The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on Friday that it had received a request from the MLB office to check the identities of Lee Jeong-hoo and Ko Woo-seok the day before, and that the players were informed today that they belong to Kiwoom and LG, respectively. A background check request from the MLB office is the first step for an MLB club to sign a player.



The two players have played at least seven regular seasons, ending this season, and are eligible to move to overseas leagues through the posting system with the consent of their clubs. Lee previously announced his intention to play in the major leagues after this season. His team, Kiwoom, accepted.



The local media is also showing high interest in their signing. On the 10th, ESPN, an American sports channel, ranked Lee as the 14th overall free agent and predicted that he would sign a super-special contract worth an average of $12.5 million per year. Later, ESPN also introduced Lee as one of the top 12 free agent outfielders, saying, "He is the most talented Korean outfielder since Choo Shin-soo and is only 25 years old. When he played in the KBO, he had a batting average of more than 3 percent every year. He rarely strikes out and will be able to defend the outfield despite his ankle injury."



Lee's brother-in-law, Go Woo-seok, is also eligible for the post this year as a seventh-year player. Go made his KBO debut in 2017 and has appeared in 354 games so far this year, posting a 19-26 record with 139 saves and a 3.18 ERA. LG has yet to officially announce that Ko Woo-seok has been granted permission to apply for the post.

'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...
