On the 21st, Choo Shin-soo, who appeared on DKNET, a Korean radio station in Dallas, USA, expressed regret about the slow generational change in the Korean national baseball team.

He said, “If you look at nearby Japan, there are many new faces once you play an international tournament. Kim Hyun-soo (35, LG Twins) is a really good player, but I think I would have seen the future. There should have been more players who should have been newly selected. (34, SSG Landers) or Yang Hyeon-jong (34, KIA Tigers). It’s not that these players lack skills. There are an enormous number of talented players among young players. Emotions young players feel when they go to international competitions such as the WBC. However, the mindset itself is different.”

He then pointed out, “It is also the job of Korean baseball to create opportunities for players like Moon Dong-ju (19, Hanwha Eagles) and Ahn Woo-jin to shine in international competitions and go abroad.”

When Choo Shin-soo mentioned An Woo-jin, the host carefully asked him about his thoughts on the school violence controversy, saying, “Isn’t An Woo-jin still controversial? It’s still a sensitive issue in Korea.”

In response, Choo Shin-soo said, “Obviously (Ahn Woo-jin) did the wrong thing,” but “as a third person, it’s very unfortunate. I’m doing it, but there are so many things I don’t understand,” he sighed.

He continued, “I don’t think it’s easy for Korea to forgive. (Ahn Woo-jin) repented of the mistakes he made when he was young, got punished, got suspended, and did everything. But he couldn’t go to the tournament. There are so many things to say,” he expressed his frustration. .

Finally, he did not hesitate to say directly, “If there are juniors who suffer such unreasonable things, seniors should step up and step forward. But no one steps forward. It’s too bad.”

Earlier on the 4th, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced the final list of 30 WBC national team members. An Woo-jin performed best among the pitchers in the 2022 season, but was eventually excluded from the WBC national team due to his history of being punished as a perpetrator of “school violence” in high school.

The reaction of viewers who watched Choo Shin-soo’s broadcast was cold. They said, “Cho Shin-soo himself is easily forgiven after drunk driving, so he makes such remarks easily. All those with a history of drunk driving, school violence, and violent crimes must be expelled from the national team. Only then can you come to your senses”, “I was proud of Choo Shin-soo when he did well in the major leagues, but I am sorry for his thoughts and remarks in many ways”, “Literally, the national team member C. I can’t be a player who goes against the people’s sentiment.”

However, some netizens also sympathized with Choo Shin-soo’s remarks, saying, “There are some parts that I can sympathize with. I hope An Woo-jin properly finishes his past mistakes and runs with the Taegeuk mark next time.”
