A foreign hitter Altair of professional baseball NC, who caused controversy last year by refusing to wear a mask, promised to show a different appearance this year in wearing a mask well.
This is Yoo Byung-min.

Altair was selected as the MVP of the match after hitting a decisive 3-point home run in the first game of the Korean Series last year, but for the first time in his history of not wearing a mask, the awards ceremony and the MVP interview were canceled, and a penalty was imposed by the KBO.
Altair, who has renewed a contract with NC, first stood in front of the camera after controversy.
I kept paying attention to wearing the mask straight and showed a different look.
[Aaron Altair/NC Outfielder: I will follow the rules.
We will follow KBO's (mask wearing) regulations.]
Altair led NC's first Korean series championship with 31 homers, 108 RBIs, and 22 steals last year.
In particular, it was nicknamed '8 Tear' because it was particularly strong in the 8th batting order, but this year I plan to remove the label '8 Tear'.
[Aaron Altair/NC outfielder: We talked about batting with coach Dong Wook Lee.
I am comfortable with any batting order from 5 to 8.
If I could win again, I wish I could see the fans cheering here.] If
Altair settles in the central batting order, it is expected to build the strongest cleanup trio with Na Seong-beom and built-in No. 4 Yang Eui-ji who remained in Korea.
[Aaron Altair/NC outfielder: 4
ter, 5 ter,
