Kang Jung-ho, who has become obscure about returning to the major leagues in the United States, is seeking to return to the KBO League.

An official from KBO today (29th) said, "Jang Jeong-ho inquired about the cancellation of voluntary withdrawal last week."

The subject of random withdrawal is 'club'.

Kiwoom Heroes' club must apply for KBO's voluntary withdrawal from Gangjeong-ho before returning to Kang-ho's KBO League.

However, the Kiwoom club said, “I had no direct rapport with Kang Jeong-ho. I know that Kang Jung-ho inquired about the issue of returning to KBO.” "You have to light your back so you can take the next step."

In addition to canceling voluntary withdrawal, Kang Jeong-ho must go through a punishment committee.

In 2015, Kang Jung-ho wore a major league of Pittsburgh Pirates through the posting system as a member of Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom).

At that time, he was not a free agent (FA), but was a randomly withdrawn from Nexen.

When Kang Jung-ho returns to the KBO League, he needs to wear a uniform to grow, but even if he signs a contract, he must take the discipline of KBO to stand on the ground.

In December 2016, Kang Jeong-ho was handed over to the court for a suspicion of drinking and hitting an accident with guardrails near Samsung Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

In the past, the fact that two people were caught driving drunk was revealed, and 'Jamjin Outje' was applied to Kang Jeong-ho, and the court sentenced him to two years of probation in August.
According to the Article 151 defamation of the Baseball Code, if you commit drunk driving more than three times, you will be disqualified for at least three years.

Considering that the punishment was finalized when the 'striking out of alcoholic beverages' was revealed at the time of the accident in 2016, severe disciplinary action is inevitable when returning to Korea.

KBO did not hold a punishment committee because Kang Jeong-ho belonged to a major league in the United States when an accident occurred.

However, as Kang Jeong-ho delivered his intention to return to Korea, there was a situation in which he had to open the 'Gangjeong-ho drinking and driving penalty committee.

Kang Jung-ho, who made his major league debut in 2015 in Pittsburgh, has batted 0.273 and 36 home runs in 229 games in two seasons from 2015 to 2016.

However, in the aftermath of a drunk driving accident, I couldn't get a US work visa, so I rarely played in 2017 and 2018.

Kang Jung-ho, who succeeded in re-signing with Pittsburgh ahead of the 2019 season, could not overcome the aftermath of the vacancy and only hit 0.169 (29 hits in 172 shots) in 65 games.

Kang Jeong-ho has made his body to re-enter the major league until recently, but it seems to have turned to a domestic return when the situation was unsatisfactory as the Corona 19 bad news overlapped.
