The reason why Ahn Se-young (22, Samsung Life Insurance), who shook up the world of sports last year, is not easy to understand has been revealed. He said that his knee condition, which caused problems during the Hangzhou Asian Games, is more serious than he thought. 47 Ahn Se-young said on her Instagram on the night of the 7th, "There is still a lot of speculation about my injury, so I want to tell you exactly," adding, "I don't know if the article mentions the facts I didn't tell you, but I'm under a lot of stress." "I thought you might be wondering why my injury hasn't healed for so long, so I wrote it," he said. Ahn Se-young injured her knee in the final at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. Although she won the first set against Chen Yufei of China, who used to be called a natural enemy, she persisted from the second set despite not being able to jump properly, and eventually tied Chen's feet in the third set to win the gold medal, impressing fans.

Coach Lee Jong-beom (54), who is undergoing leadership training in a minor league under Texas on the 19th of last month (Korean time), signed his seal for work early in the morning at a spring training camp site in Surprise, Arizona, as usual on the 2nd. However, it was different on the day. Coach Lee called in Lee to announce that he will accompany the San Francisco Giants at an exhibition game held at Scottsdale Stadium on the day. Lee's son, Lee Jung-hoo, is located in San Francisco. It was special consideration from the Texas team and Coach Bochy for the father-to-son reunion. Kenny Homburg, a defensive coordinator who is providing support to Lee at a Minor League camp, also gave assistance from the middle. Since last month, Lee Jong-beom and Lee Jung-hoo have been living together in Scottsdale, but never met each other at a baseball stadium due to different workplaces. Lee Jung-hoo was not aware of the fact that Lee accompanied the coach during the game. It was a surprise event. Coach Boch even gave Lee a chance to exchange the lineup card before the game. When Lee said, "Thank you for your consideration," Coach Boch jokingly said, "You are the coach today." Before the game, coach Lee said, "I had many conversations with Coach Bochy. Coach Bochy also won the World Series title last year and I also won (as LG coach) in Korea, so I was like, 'Why are you here?' When I told him that I was here for my son, he laughed." Coach Bochy also said, "I bet there would be no more special experience than meeting my father and son at a baseball stadium." Lee Jung-hoo also said, "I think my dad came because of the consideration from the Texas team. I met him at a baseball stadium in Korea, but it feels different because it was the first time in the U.S. It's amazing to meet him at a major league game." Coach Lee, who came to the U.S. with his wife, Jeong Yeon-hee, quit his job as coach of the LG Twins to help his son Lee Jung-hoo adapt to the U.S. As a natural baseball player, however, Lee took this opportunity to study baseball in the U.S. Not to put pressure on Lee, Lee looked for other teams instead of the San Francisco team. He has found a place to train among the teams that set up camp in Arizona with his resume, and is learning advanced systems by getting an opportunity in Texas.
