“I want to bring the golden lion back to our school.”

Deoksu High was the height of the mound in the second round (round of 32) against Dogae High on the 8th day of the 78th Golden Lion National High School Baseball Tournament and Weekend League King of the Kings (co-hosted by Dong-A Ilbo, Sports Donga, and Korea Baseball Softball Association) held at Mokdong Stadium on the 21st. They won 3-1.

The batting lineup was poor and they were unable to score many points on the mound. Early in the game, when Lim Yu-bin, a freshman at Dogae High School, attacked with a breaking ball in the 70-80 km/h range, the score remained scoreless until the third inning. In the bottom of the 4th inning, Woo Jung-an got on base with a walk and opened the scoring by stealing 2nd base. With one out and 3rd base, Eom Jun-sang's grounder to shortstop led to the first run scored by follow-up hitter Jeong Min-seo's sacrifice bunt. In the bottom of the 5th inning, when the score was tied 1-1, with one out and runners on first and second base, Oh Si-hu and Woo Jeong-an regained the lead with one RBI and timely hit in a row.

Although they won, Deoksu High School had an overall difficult time in the first game of the tournament. Accordingly, the one-two punches Taehyung Kim (4 innings without runs) and Jeong Hyunwoo (1 inning without runs) were not spared. Starting pitcher Yoo Hee-dong passed the baton after allowing one run in four innings, but the batting line did not explode, so they had no choice but to use one-two punches one after another.

After the game, Deoksu High School coach Yun-jin Jeong said, “(Lim Yu-bin’s) 70-80 km long ball would have been very unfamiliar to our players,” and added, “The opposing pitcher was good, so we had a hard time. “He tried to play the game without playing two players (Kim Tae-hyung and Jeong Hyun-woo), but it didn’t work out the way he wanted,” he said. He continued, “Don’t all teams target Deoksu High School? Coach Park Kang-woo and Dogae High School players seem to have prepared well. On the other hand, our condition seems to have not improved yet. However, our children are basically good players with all their abilities, so they will improve quickly,” he added.

Deoksu High School is a prestigious baseball school that has won the Golden Lion six times (1994-1995, 2004, 2013, 2016-2017). This year, he will challenge for his first championship in 7 years with strong pitching and hitting power. Coach Jeong said, “The Golden Lion is a truly historic and prestigious competition among existing national high school baseball competitions. This year, I want to take the Golden Lion back to school. “I will do my best, so I hope you will support not only Deoksu High School but also high school baseball,” he said.

Seoul World Cup Stadium, controversy over soldiers being denied free admission Club “Eligible for vacations and sleepovers”



Soldier protests after being denied free admission to Seoul Facilities Corporation "I showed my pass for going out... I got annoyed and bought a ticket" The management office apologized and said, "The club responded by strengthening training for guides" The team refuted, "In the first place, going out is not eligible for free admission." It is known that soldiers who went to watch a professional soccer game paid money to watch the game because they could not benefit from free admission.

On the 19th, Mr. Park, a soldier, said in ‘Voice of Citizens’, an online complaint window operated by the Seoul Facilities Corporation, “Today, on Sunday, May 19th, five soldiers went out on the weekend to watch the FC Seoul vs. Daegu FC game and stood in line to buy tickets. “I went to do it,” he said.

Mr. Park and his colleagues can enter the unreserved seats on the north side of the Seoul World Cup Stadium for free for professional soccer K-League matches. This is because the FC Seoul club provides free benefits to active duty and professional soldiers and one accompanying person. You can receive an admission ticket by verifying your military status at the ticket booth.

Nevertheless, Mr. Park was denied free admission. He said, “I understand that if you prove that you are a soldier, the ticket is free, but when I showed my exit card, (the staff member) suddenly asked me if I was leaving the guard area,” he said about the situation at the time.

“When I said it didn’t matter because I was in a high-security area, I was denied a ticket, saying that the reason for going out was to watch a soccer game,” he said. “I don’t think there was such a rule, but they told me to bring proof that I was going out to watch soccer.” revealed.

A 'guard area' is an area where troops stay and guard for a long period of time to maintain order and safety. Soldiers cannot leave the area when going out or staying out. However, the Wisu area was abolished as part of the national defense reform in 2019 during the Moon Jae-in administration.

Mr. Park, who was denied entry to the game for an unknown reason, ended up paying for his ticket. His adult admission fee is 19,000 won per person. He said, “So, the line was long and hot, and I was annoyed by the long wait, so I bought a ticket and went in.” The Seoul World Cup Stadium Management Office responded to Mr. Park's protest on the 20th. The management office said, “As a result of checking with the club, we received a response that military personnel can visit with only an exit pass and ID card, and that training for guides will be strengthened if the information is incorrect.” The management added, “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to the use of Seoul World Cup Stadium.” On the same day that soldiers were denied free admission, the Seoul club lost 1-2 to Daegu in the 13th round home game of the professional soccer 'Hana Bank K-League 1 2024' that day, falling into a quagmire of four consecutive home losses. In response, FC Seoul refuted that the Seoul World Cup Stadium Management Office's answer was different from the facts. The Korea Professional Football League and its affiliated professional football clubs have provided free admission to soldiers who present vacation passes and stay-out passes based on the contents of the agreement with the Ministry of National Defense. In the case of going out, admission was not originally eligible for free. In fact, it has been shown that clubs allow free admission only when going out for the purpose of watching soccer.
