A shocking joint rebate between manager and general manager

  Shock incident from KIA, baseball will be ruined if things continue like this.

This is hard news to believe. The current manager is in danger of being arrested. After receiving a shocking dismissal, I stand in the photo line. It is a charge of breach of trust. It means that you received money you shouldn't have received. So the baseball world and fans were even more shocked.

KIA Tigers coach Kim Jong-guk appears at the Seoul Central District Court on the 30th. This is for the substantive examination of the warrant. A whirlwind 48 hours have passed. On the 28th, KIA suddenly announced the suspension of Director Kim. This is because I learned that Director Kim was under investigation in connection with receiving bribes.

Still, it ended with the suspension of his duties. This is because Director Kim claimed innocence and needed time to understand the exact situation. However, the prosecution did not give KIA and Director Kim any breathing room. An arrest warrant was immediately requested on the 29th. An arrest warrant means that the prosecution has solid evidence of a crime. Of course, guilt or innocence may vary depending on the outcome of future trials, but it was natural that Director Kim would no longer be able to carry out his duties as director.

In the end, KIA dismissed Director Kim after an emergency meeting on the 29th. And Director Kim will stand in the photo line on the 30th.

The fact that an active manager received money to secure a favorable corporate sponsorship agreement is shocking in itself. However, what makes this incident more painful for KIA is that another major accident occurred less than a year after former director Jang Jeong-seok's 'kickback controversy'.

During negotiations with catcher Park Dong-won, who qualified as a free agent last year, former general manager Jang asked him to give him money because he would give him a favorable contract. Park Dong-won reported this to the KBO with evidence, and the KBO requested a formal investigation from the prosecution. The prosecution, which was investigating former Director Jang, suddenly conducted a search and seizure of former Director Jang in November of last year. And during the investigation of former Director Jang, suspicions against Director Kim were also found. In addition to the Park Dong-won case, former general manager Jang was also charged with receiving tens of millions of won in kickbacks from a coffee company along with coach Kim. It is reported that Director Kim received about 100 million won.

Professional baseball was in crisis. Before the COVID-19 incident, box office success was on the decline. During COVID-19, there was an excuse. The only positive benefit was that after the COVID-19 pandemic ended, fans who were longing for outdoor activities began to visit baseball stadiums. However, the baseball world must keep in mind that this may be a temporary phenomenon. Now there is enough room for fans to turn their attention to other leisure activities. There is no reason to give affection to baseball, where accidents only occur. Right now, new players who have entered the major league, such as Lee Jeong-hoo (San Francisco) and Ko Woo-seok (San Diego), are attracting attention. If interest is given to existing major leaguers such as Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Ha-seong (San Diego), interest in the KBO league may decrease.

The KBO League faces a year of upheaval in 2024. Robot referees are introduced. It is unclear whether it will help the box office success. On the contrary, if an unconvincing decision is made and the game is ruined, it could be a bad luck for the box office success. The negotiator for wired and wireless broadcasting rights was also changed. Now may be the time to pay to watch baseball. There are already a lot of fans who refuse to pay money to watch baseball.

The passion of passionate fans waiting for the players in front of the stadium after the game is still hot. If clubs and players become intoxicated by this popularity and fail to look further afield, a real crisis could arise.
