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...

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 L...

'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...
