Kim Ga-eun's personal social media accounts were attacked by Chinese users. Kim Ga-eun (Samsung Life Insurance), the gold medalist in the women's team badminton event at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, has been subjected to a series of social media "abuse" by Chinese users. A maliciously edited vidéo of the athlete has been spreading online in China. On Jan. 1, Kim clinched the gold medal in the women's team badminton event at Binjiang Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China, with a 2-0 victory over China's He Bingjiao to complète a 3-0 sweep. Afterward, a vidéo went viral on Chinese social media showing Kim and her coach Sung Ji-hyun mocking He Bingzhao by mimicking her expression of disappointment after the loss. The vidéo has since accumulated over 100 million views, and criticism of Kim has grown louder. However, the vidéo was stitched together from different time periods, and there is a huge time différence between He Bingzhao's disappointment and the moment when Kim and Coach Sung share their joy. The moment He Bingzhao's disappointment is captured in the vidéo, the Korean team hugs each other and shares the joy of the victory. At the time, Kim Ga-eun and Sung cannot even see He Bingzhao's expression. Currently, Kim's personal social media comments are blocked. A large number of posters, presumably Chinese, were abusive in various languages. Comments reportedly included "disrespectful," "undeserving," "disgusting," and "unsportsmanlike." 스포츠토토링크

After four years with Toronto, he's about to hit the free agent market After signing a four-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, Ryu Hyun-jin, 36, has decided to stay in the big leagues. Now that he is eligible for free agency, there is a lot of interest in his future. Toronto lost Game 2 of the Major League Baseball (MLB) American League Wild Card Series against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S., on April 5 (KST), falling to 0-2 in the series and failing to advance to the division series. Ryu was removed from the Wild Card Series roster and did not participate in the fall festivities. The team's failure to advance past the Wild Card Series concluded the 2023 season and ended his four-year contract with Toronto. Ryu appeared in 60 career games for Toronto, throwing 315 innings and posting a 24-15 record with a 3.97 ERA. In 2020, Ryu appeared in just 12 games due to a shortened régular season in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and he was limited to 17 games in each of the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery last year to repair ligaments in his elbow. Upon his return in August, Ryu appeared in 11 games and threw 52 innings, finishing the season with a 3-3 record and a 3.46 ERA. Ryu, who reached the big leagues through the posting system (closed competitive bidding) in 2013, would have to sign with the Hanwha Eagles to return to the KBO. However, he is hoping to sign a new contract with a big league club. "Ryu said he wants to sign with a major league team," Canadian Sportsnet reporter Ben Nicholson-Smith wrote on social media on May 5. "Hyun-jin Ryu told local reporters yesterday that he hopes to continue pitching in the big leagues," MLBTradeRumors.com, which covers MLB trade news, reported on June 6. As a free agent starter, it seems reasonable for him to expect a big league contract." Given his age and injury history, it's not easy for Ryu to sign a long-term deal with a big league organization. However, the starting pitcher's competitiveness and expérience are strong points in the big leagues. This is where a short-term deal could be attractive. "Given his recent surgery, a one-year deal would make sense," MLBTradeRumors.com explained. 스포츠토토링크
