メジャーリーグ(MLB)が義理の兄妹であるイ・ジョンフ(25)とコ・ウソク(25)の身元確認を要請した。


韓国野球機構(KBO)は1日、前日にMLB事務局からイ・ジョンフ選手とコ・ウソク選手の身元確認の要請を受け、本日、選手がそれぞれキウォムとLGに所属していることを知らされたと発表した。MLB事務局からの身元調査依頼は、MLBクラブが選手と契約するための最初のステップである。


この2選手は、今季までのレギュラーシーズンを7シーズン以上プレーしており、所属クラブの同意があれば、ポスティングシステムを利用して海外リーグに移籍することができる。李は以前、今シーズン終了後にメジャーリーグでプレーする意向を表明していた。所属チームのキウムはこれを受け入れた。


地元メディアもその契約に高い関心を示している。10日、アメリカのスポーツ専門チャンネル『ESPN』は、李をフリーエージェント全体14位にランク付けし、年平均1250万ドル(約12億円)の超特大契約を結ぶと予想した。その後、ESPNも李をフリーエージェントの外野手トップ12の一人として紹介し、「彼はチュ・シンス以来最も才能のある韓国人外野手で、まだ25歳だ。KBOでプレーしていた頃は、毎年打率3%以上の成績を残していた。めったに三振をしないし、足首の故障があっても外野を守れるだろう」。


李の義弟、ゴ・ウソクも7年目の今年、ポストの対象となる。ゴは2017年にKBOデビューし、今年はここまで354試合に登板、19勝26敗、139セーブ、防御率3.18の成績を残している。LGは、コ・ウソクにポストの申請許可が下りたことをまだ正式に発表していない。

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...

A good Korean man disappeared in Japan...did he slip and fall or was he killed?
