It’s about looking for someone to buy a watch signed by Ansan, the archery representative of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and here’s ‘It’s up to you. How much is it?” Ansan replied directly.

After that, he expressed his displeasure and regret, such as “If you’re going to sell it, don’t take it”, “If you don’t need it, throw it away quietly or share it”, and “You gave me your heart, so why use it to earn pocket money?”

She added that her mother, who had made a watch for a gift, was heartbroken when she saw that it was resold for a higher price on a second-hand trading app.

As the controversy grew over the somewhat harsh expression, Ansan deleted the post and explained, “I said that I would rather buy it for fear that fans would buy it at an outrageous price.”

This is not the first time such controversy has arisen.

Professional baseball SSG’s Kim Kwang-hyeon was also disappointed when the gifts he had prepared for his fans immediately traded in the second-hand market every time he wins.

“I have a wish that it doesn’t sell, but I want it to be sold anyway, so I want it to be taken away.”

Also, immediately after Tottenham’s visit to Korea, autographed items of Tottenham players, including Son Heung-min, are on the second-hand market. I also experience it.

“Ask (to this person) directly. You did it before. You saw it, right?”

However, just as Samsung legend Lee Seung-yeop was reluctant to sign such a deal and received strong criticism after hesitating to sign, a player cannot select only such fans.

For some, it is a memory they will cherish for a lifetime, but for others, it is a transaction to make money.

Between that sincerity and the deal, the hearts of players and fans are bruised.
