Goo-yeon Heo, who became the first baseball player to head the KBO, criticized the construction of a new stadium in Daejeon.
He complained that the politicians who ran for the head of the local government in Daejeon were trying to abolish the construction plan in a situation where all preparations were completed for four years and only the first shovel was opened.
[Heo Gu-yeon/KBO President: It is literally the way to fall over a problem while building this.
It's really political.]
He warned that Hanwha could leave Daejeon.
[Heo Gu-yeon / KBO President: If you continue to abuse the club and do not know the value of it, why should you be there?
I have to leave.
I want to use all the powers that the governor has.] He
also warned of strong disciplinary action against the players for deviant behavior, saying that he will be careful about the issue of approval for Kang Jung-ho's return.
[Heo Gu-yeon/KBO President: There is no need for a reward and punishment committee.
According to the stipulated rules, you have to go according to the penalties.
So that you don't hear about the soft punishment.]
President Huh expressed his aspirations to raise the fever of baseball that has fallen along with the international competitiveness of Korean baseball.
[Heo Gu-yeon/KBO President: I have one run and one base at the end of the ninth.
I think of him as a relief pitcher who came up in a desperate crisis situation.
I started in difficult situations, but I'm not afraid.]
