KT Wiz, who is playing the Korean professional baseball series in Korea, got caught up in an unintentional gossip.
After the first game of the Korean Series against Doosan on the 14th, Venezuelan KT Wiz pitcher William Cuevas shared all the stories posted by fans mentioning him on his Instagram. At this time, one fan praised him, saying, “Cuebas 8 innings and one run,” and wrote down about the opposing team Doosan, “Let’s go to win the KT Korean Series in the first game with a criminal duo Yang X Chi club justice realization.”
The post was pointed out as a problem as it was immediately publicly discussed in online communities. Among fans, opinions differed, such as “It happened because Cuevas from Venezuela didn’t know the meaning of the word” and “It’s been 3 years since I came to Korea, and there’s no way I can’t understand the meaning.”
The words ‘criminal duo’ and ‘yang x chi club’ in the article are known to be mainly used to demean Doosan. Controversy over the privacy of certain players in Doosan in the past and their history of being involved in crime seem to have caused this stigma.
Cuevas immediately deleted the post as the controversy spread. There are still posts that other fans mentioned him, but it is assumed that Quevas also recognized the controversy, as only the post has disappeared.
KT won the second game of the Korean Series against Doosan 6-1 on the 15th. In the first game, starting pitcher Cuevas started and won 4-2.
