“I will take the position as director of Kia”

'Drunk driving strikeout' Kang Jeong-ho's thoughtless comments criticized

Former major leaguer Kang Jeong-ho (36) was criticized by baseball fans for leaving a careless comment saying he would take over as manager of the KIA Tigers.

On the 31st of last month, Kang Jung-ho appeared directly on an Instagram account posting KBO-related news and left a comment. The post contains photos of Sun Dong-ryeol, Dong-wook Lee, Beom-ho Lee, and Jae-eung Seo with the content, ‘Who is the next coach that Kia fans want?’ 메이저-토토사이트

In this post, Kang Jung-ho wrote, “I’ll go,” and playfully added a crying and laughing emoticon.

Kang Jeong-ho also received comments such as “I look forward to it” and “Please come to Gwangju and give me some work” on his post, “Let’s make Bitgoul Gwangju shine once”, “Can I say that I want it? He also left an answer saying, “I have to go if the Bitgoeul fans want it.”

However, most baseball fans expressed sadness and cold reactions to Kang Jung-ho's surprise comment. In various online communities, “If you have 3 drunk driving convictions, live quietly”, “If it was possible to return, it would be welcome, but the number of drunk driving strikes is too high”, “It may be a joke, but you are out of your mind”, “It is the devil’s talent.” Reactions such as “It’s a shame, but what can we do when public opinion is like this?” followed.

Kang Jung-ho, who was enjoying a successful career in MLB, left the big league at the end of 2019 after it was revealed that he was sentenced to prison for a drunken hit-and-run accident in December 2016 and was caught drunk driving on two more occasions.
