In the early 8th inning, which was dark, Baekho Kang leaned against the fence and chewed gum while watching the game.
In response, KBS commentator Park Chan-ho said, “You shouldn’t be like this. We need to keep fighting in the dugout (it is necessary),” and said, “Even if we get frustrated, we shouldn’t show what we shouldn’t show. We have to keep fighting.” .
The Japanese media also continued to criticize Kang Baek-ho’s attitude, saying that he seemed to lack concentration.
As the controversy grew, coach Kim explained at the scene of his return home, “When I asked Baekho, he was winning the match and then turned around, and he didn’t know what he was doing at that moment.”
He added, “I think seniors and leaders should teach and give attention.
Meanwhile, the Korean baseball team at the Tokyo Olympics finished in 4th place. As a result, Kang Baek-ho, Kim Jin-wook, Kim Hye-seong, Park Se-woong, Won Tae-in, Lee Ui-ri, and Jo Sang-woo, who were eligible for exemption from military service when they obtained medals, were not eligible for military exemption.
