  36.  
  37. <p>Son Heung-min&#8217;s big chance miss continues to be talked about.</p>
  38.  
  39.  
  40.  
  41. <p>Tottenham Hotspur fell to Manchester City 0-2 in the 34th round (net) of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. ET on Friday. The loss ended Tottenham&#8217;s hopes of a fourth-place finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).</p>
  42.  
  43.  
  44.  
  45. <p>The first half was a tight affair. Both teams shared the best chances. In the fifth minute, Spurs had a threatening mid-range effort from Rodrigo Bentancur. Ederson stretched out to make the save. City didn&#8217;t stand still. In the 15th minute, Phil Foden took advantage of a Tottenham mishandling of the ball and went straight at goal, but his shot was saved by Guglielmo Vicario. The first half ended 0-0.</p>
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. <p>In the second half, City struck first. In the sixth minute of the second half, Kevin De Bruyne&#8217;s <a href="https://sportstotolink1.stck.me/profile" title="cutback">cutback</a> was finished by Elling Holland. City took a 1-0 lead.</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>Tottenham were looking for an equalizer. They had a golden opportunity. In the 41st minute of the second half, a mistake was made in the City defense. Tottenham pounced on it and won possession, leaving Son Heung-min with a one-on-one opportunity. He looked to the far post with his right foot but was denied by goalkeeper Stephan Ortega.</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <p>After missing the perfect opportunity, Tottenham failed to equalize and conceded a penalty in stoppage time. Holland stepped up to take the spot kick and the game ended 0-2. And with that, their UCL hopes were completely dashed.</p>
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. <p>After the game, criticism was directed at <a href="https://www.sportstoto.link" title="스포츠토토">스포츠토토</a> Son Heung-min. It was argued that he missed the perfect chance to lose to Man City and that this was done to prevent Arsenal from winning the title. Arsenal fans were furious.</p>
  62.  
  63.  
  64.  
  65. <p>There are even cartoons that reflect this opinion. The U.S. Bleacher Report published a cartoon of Son Heung-min&#8217;s big misses on Friday. There were four cartoons in total, with Son facing Ortega&#8217;s goalkeeper and Arsenal players holding the PL trophy behind him. The cartoon ends with Son sweating and his shot being blocked. It was portrayed as if Son had missed out on Arsenal&#8217;s title. “This save, or this missed big chance, may have decided the title race,” the media added.</p>
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69. <p>The story didn&#8217;t end there. There were also reports that Son had let Arsenal fans down. “Heung-min needed to show more,” said the UK&#8217;s Evening Standard. “Heung-min let Arsenal fans down when he was denied by Ortega,” said the Evening Standard.</p>
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73. <p>It&#8217;s an absurd claim. The idea of deliberately missing a chance to prevent a rival <a href="https://oncablog.xyz" title="team">team</a> from winning the title is ridiculous. Son Heung-min even said before the 2-1 win over Burnley that he would do his best to qualify for the UCL. “The UCL is where every player wants to be,” he said. We still have three games left. We have to give it everything. In football, sometimes magic happens. We will do our best in the last three games,” he said. It would be absurd to suggest that a player so desperate to win would have deliberately missed a chance.</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/son-heung-min-misses-chances-for-arsenal-cartoons-the-allegations-continue/">Son Heung-min Misses Chances for Arsenal?

  91.  
  92. <p>Is it time to part ways with Tottenham?</p>
  93.  
  94.  
  95.  
  96. <p>After a full season as a regular starter, his performance is still a question mark. We&#8217;re talking about Dejan Kulusevski, a Swedish winger who played alongside Son Heung-min in the 2023-2024 season.</p>
  97.  
  98.  
  99.  
  100. <p>The offer came from Italy, where Kulusevski had just played. There&#8217;s no shortage of opinions around <a href="https://majortotositetop1.stck.me/profile" title="Spurs">Spurs</a> that they should get rid of him. This means that Spurs need a better winger if they want to win the title.</p>
  101.  
  102.  
  103.  
  104. <p>Global sports media outlet The Athletic made the claim. “Italian side AS Roma have made an offer to Tottenham for Kulusevski,” reporter Charlie Eccleshire said on Friday (June 15). Born in 2000, Kulusevski made his debut for Italian Serie A side Atalanta in 2017 at the age of 17, and moved to Italian top-flight side Juventus in January 2020, but failed to make the first team and joined Tottenham on an 18-month loan in January 2022. He then completed a full transfer last summer. The transfer fee was £33 million ($56 billion), including a loan fee.</p>
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108. <p>However, Kuluczewski&#8217;s performances this season have not met the expectations of the fans. Playing primarily as a right winger, but also as an <a href="https://www.majortotosite.top" title="토토사이트">토토사이트</a> attacking midfielder when James Maddison was out injured, he has scored six goals and provided three assists in 35 Premier League games this season. Considering Tottenham had played 37 Premier League games by the time they faced Man City on Dec. 15, he had played most of them. He has started 30 of them.</p>
  109.  
  110.  
  111.  
  112. <p>Considering this, we can say that there were not enough attacking points. Furthermore, he hasn&#8217;t been a great helper for Son Heung-min, as he hasn&#8217;t been the solution to the team&#8217;s offensive struggles. Kulusevski has been criticized by Son on several occasions this season for his selfishness.</p>
  113.  
  114.  
  115.  
  116. <p>However, Daniele De Rossi, who replaced José Mourinho as AS Roma manager in January, is adamant that Kulusevski is needed. “Kuluczewski hasn&#8217;t ruled out a return to Italy either,” Ekleshire said, adding that De Rossi and Kuluczewski have the same agent. Spurs are open to a senior-to-senior move,” Eklyshare claimed.</p>
  117.  
  118.  
  119.  
  120. <p>The key will be for Tottenham to find an alternative to Kuluczewski, and there are plenty of <a href="https://sportstotosite.info" title="players">players</a> of his caliber available. Fans are also saying “let him go” to the rumors.</p>
  121.  
  122.  
  123.  
  124. <p>If Kulusevski does return to Italy, it would mean more changes to the squad for the new season under current Spurs manager Anzhi Postecoglou.</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/kulusevsky-as-romans-love-letterhe-cant-do-it-let-him-go-fans-give-up/">Kulusevsky, AS Romans love letter…“He can’t do it, let him go” fans give up</a> first appeared on <a href="https://hototo.xyz">hototo.xyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  143. <p>Samsung Electronics will launch a family care service in June, an AI solution for older adults who are not familiar with digital devices and services and who need close family support, the company said Wednesday.The service will use Samsung&#8217;s Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart home platform SmartThings to let clients check whether their family members are using home appliances or whether there have been any changes in movement patterns.</p>
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. <p>The service connects users&#8217; older family members&#8217; TVs, refrigerators, water purifiers, induction cooktops, smartphones and other appliances with the SmartThings app to manage their daily routines based on AI technology, Samsung said.For example, when an older parent takes medication, the water purifier will optimize the amount and temperature of water for the medication. The service also allows users to check inside the refrigerator through a camera to see what groceries need to be purchased. They can also turn induction cooktops off via their smartphones if a family member accidentally leaves one on.&#8221;We will continue to introduce various AI products and solutions to further solidify Samsung&#8217;s AI leadership in the market here,&#8221; Lim Seong-taek executive vice president of Samsung, said.Samsung said the Family Care service doesn&#8217;t <a href="https://edwardsrailcar.com/" title="메이저 ">메이저 </a>just manage one&#8217;s parents&#8217; home appliances but can be customized for a variety of households.</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/samsung-to-unveil-digital-family-care-service-for-older-adults-in-june/">Samsung to unveil digital family care service for older adults in June</a> first appeared on <a href="https://hototo.xyz">hototo.xyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  166. <p>Korea has invited K-culture lovers from around the world with special ties to the country to offer them opportunities to experience Korean culture as part of the 2024 Visit Korea Year campaign, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said Wednesday.The campaign, dubbed &#8220;KOREA Invites U,&#8221; will host around 50 participants who are &#8220;true fans&#8221; of Korea for a five-day tour from May 20 to 24.The culture ministry and the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) are co-organizers of the campaign.The 50 participants were selected through story contests and a recommendation process by KTO&#8217;s overseas branches.A total of 77,224 applicants from 185 countries submitted their stories throughout the month-long application period from March 19 to April 19, according to the ministry.Some of the stories selected through a four-step evaluation process included those who overcame personal struggles through training in taekwondo and those who went on to study Korean courses at university as late bloomers based on their interests in Korean drama, culture, history and language.Participants will visit tourist landmarks in Seoul on a city tour bus and attend a welcoming event and an exchange meeting at Samcheonggak, a traditional Korean food restaurant in central Seoul.</p>
  167.  
  168.  
  169.  
  170. <p>The tour will also include a K-pop choreography session at 1MILLION Dance Studio, a renowned dance academy led by dancer Lia Kim, as many of the participants have shown high interest in K-pop.They will also try &#8220;chimaek,&#8221; a portmanteau of chicken and the Korean word &#8220;maekju,&#8221; or beer, at Kyochon Pilbang, a fried chicken restaurant operated by Kyochon Chicken in Itaewon, Seoul.Notably, they will participate in customized tour programs mapped out based on their preferences and characteristics from May 22 to 23.They will be divided into five groups and travel around Seoul and other cities, including Busan and Jeonju, for sightseeing and gastronomic experience.The tour program will be filmed for a television program, which will be broadcast on KBS World, the ministry said.&#8221;There are a lot of foreigners who love Korea and have various stories regarding their interest in K-pop, drama, sports, traditional culture and the Korean language,&#8221; the ministry&#8217;s director general of tourism policy bureau, Park Jong-taek, said.&#8221;Through this event, the ministry expects that participants experience Korean culture and tourism in person and become civilian honorary ambassadors who <a href="https://www.slotplayground.com/" title="슬롯게이밍 ">슬롯게이밍 </a>spread the word about Korea&#8217;s unique characteristics.&#8221;</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/culture-ministry-to-commence-nationwide-tour-for-true-fans-of-korea/">Culture ministry to commence nationwide tour for true fans of Korea</a> first appeared on <a href="https://hototo.xyz">hototo.xyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  189. <p>South Korea could find itself marginalized on North Korean issues if the next U.S. administration opts for negotiations with Pyongyang, a scenario that seems increasingly probable if former U.S. President Donald Trump returns to office, as suggested by Wi Sung-lac, a lawmaker-elect of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK).&#8221;In the event of Donald Trump&#8217;s return — although I wouldn&#8217;t place very high odds on his reelection — he might not prioritize the alliance with South Korea. This would challenge the Yoon Suk Yeol administration&#8217;s strong reliance on the South Korea-U.S. alliance, which is the main pillar of the government&#8217;s current diplomacy,&#8221; Wi said during a recent interview with The Korea Times.</p>
  190.  
  191.  
  192.  
  193. <p>The former diplomat foresaw the possibility of Washington engaging in negotiations with Pyongyang following the launch of a new U.S. administration after the Nov. 5 presidential election, regardless of whether it&#8217;s under Trump or incumbent President Joe Biden.&#8221;Considering the Yoon administration&#8217;s hawkish stance on North Korea, Trump may opt to engage directly with Pyongyang, excluding Seoul from the negotiations. This suggests that the U.S. president will exert considerable influence over critical security decisions on the Korean Peninsula, such as extended deterrence and combined military exercises, potentially sidelining South Korea,&#8221; he said.While South Korean officials are cautiously engaging with figures from the Trump camp to mitigate the potential impact on U.S. security commitments, Wi regarded this as merely a short-term approach.&#8221;A more sustainable approach should involve reforming the foundational principles of the current foreign policy direction to protect the nation&#8217;s core interests in the rapidly evolving international <a href="https://www.casinositeking.com/" title="카지노사이트킹 ">카지노사이트킹 </a>landscape, rather than solely preparing for the potential return of Trump,&#8221; he said.</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/s-koreas-role-in-n-korean-affairs-at-risk-with-trumps-potential-return/">‘S.

  212. <p>The Republic of Korea Air Force is reviewing the feasibility of deploying the country&#8217;s homegrown supersonic fighter jet, the KF-21, at an air base in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, to better respond to North Korean aerial threats, according to military officials Wednesday.The KF-21, also known by its Korean name Boramae, is set to be deployed beginning in 2026.The Gangneung air base is currently utilized as the home of the Air Force&#8217;s F-5 fighters.Officials said Gangneung is strategically significant due to its proximity to North Korea and its role in ensuring swift response capabilities.The F-5, despite being in service for over 40 years, boasts a key advantage over other modern aircraft for its quick turnaround time for flight preparation, rapid takeoff and aerial response.</p>
  213.  
  214.  
  215.  
  216. <p>The KF-21, the 4.5-generation supersonic fighter jet, has been undergoing rigorous testing to verify its performance and combat readiness. The strategic deployment of the fighter, armed with advanced air-to-air weaponry such as the Meteor and AIM-2000 missiles, is viewed as a pivotal measure in strengthening South Korea&#8217;s defense capabilities amid changing regional dynamics.The Defense Acquisition Program Administration finalized plans to introduce 20 units of the KF-21 this year and another 20 by next year in a meeting in March.As one combat squadron comprises 20 aircraft in general, it is anticipated that two squadrons of the KF-21 will be stationed gradually at Gangneung.Existing F-5 forces stationed there are expected to be relocated to an air base in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, ensuring continuity of operations until retirement.The KF-21 is a multirole fighter developed by the Korea Aerospace Industries in collaboration with the South Korean government. It is designed to replace the country&#8217;s aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 fighter <a href="https://www.casinosite.zone/" title="온라인카지노 ">온라인카지노 </a>jets.</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/gangneung-emerges-as-top-candidate-to-station-s-koreas-homegrown-kf-21-fighter-jet/">Gangneung emerges as top candidate to station S.

  234.  
  235. <p>Since its founding in 1999, the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) has been the state-run gatekeeper and guardian of Korea’s cultural treasures.However, in the eyes of CHA chief Choi Eung-chon, who celebrated the second anniversary of his post this week, the agency has, over the years, come to be perceived as inflexibly bureaucratic and regulatory in its approach to historical heritage in the name of conservation.That’s all about to change on May 17 as the organization faces the biggest turning point in its two-decade history, marked by the sweeping overhaul of its policies to measure up to its new name — the Korea Heritage Service (KHS).</p>
  236.  
  237.  
  238.  
  239. <p>“The launch of the KHS signals a reorientation of our policy focus from mere preservation of the past to embracing heritage as a living, sustainable asset with which people of today can actually engage,” Choi, a veteran player in the field with prior roles at the National Museum of Korea and the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, said in an interview with The Korea Times, May 7.“Our aim is to streamline regulations previously tangled in red tape so that the assets can coexist with development efforts without being put at risk of damage.”The state agency’s unprecedented overhaul follows the enactment of the new Framework Act on National Heritage last year. The legislation aims to restructure the existing Cultural Heritage Protection Act, which has remained a largely unchanged cornerstone of Korea’s cultural preservation efforts since its establishment in 1962.The most prominent change involves abandoning the decades-old classification system of “cultural heritage” — which, in Korean, was referred to as “cultural property” and thus disproportionately <a href="https://www.sportstotozone.com/" title="스포츠토토존 ">스포츠토토존 </a>emphasized its value as “material goods,” according to Choi.</p><p>The post <a href="https://hototo.xyz/index.php/2024/05/16/cultural-heritage-agency-revamped-with-fresh-identity/">Cultural heritage agency revamped with fresh identity</a> first appeared on <a href="https://hototo.xyz">hototo.xyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="658" height="469" src="https://hototo.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/73.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1667" srcset="https://hototo.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/73.jpg 658w, https://hototo.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/73-300x214.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px" /></figure>
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. <p>From the 7th to the 9th, the women&#8217;s tryout was held first, followed by the men&#8217;s tryout from the 9th to the 11th.</p>
  263.  
  264.  
  265.  
  266. <p>Except for &#8220;defending champion&#8221; Hyundai E&amp;C and GS Caltex, all of the women&#8217;s teams have recruited new faces. Hyundai E&amp;C has renewed contracts with MOMA and GS Caltex have completed their contracts with Silva. Pepper Savings Bank selected Barbarra Jabic (Croatia) as the No. 1 overall pick. Vanya Vukiric (Serbia), who played for Korea Expressway Corporation in the previous season, will be wearing the clothes of a general counsel this time.</p>
  267.  
  268.  
  269.  
  270. <p>The prevailing view was that the women&#8217;s tryout pool this time was not as good as the previous season. Korea Expressway Corporation manager Kim Jong-min even mentioned the possibility of renewing his contract with Bukirich. Therefore, it is highly likely that Bukirich, who played for the Korea Expressway Corporation, will renew his contract or renew his nomination.</p>
  271.  
  272.  
  273.  
  274. <p>Vukirich did not renew his contract with the Korea Expressway Corporation, but he was hired by the association chief to meet his second team in Korea. Instead, the Korea Expressway Corporation selected left-handed Apogit Merelin Nikoleva of Bulgaria, and IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, whose blueprint completely changed after Abercrombie failed to apply for a tryout, saw Victoria Danchak of Ukraine. Heungkuk Life Insurance selected Apogit Turku Bourgeois of Turkiye.</p>
  275.  
  276.  
  277.  
  278. <p>As the U.S. Pro League (PVF, LOVB) has opened in succession, some players&#8217; plans have been disrupted. IBK suffered an unexpected situation in which it hurriedly withdrew its tryout due to Von Poon&#8217;s withdrawal from the U.S. league at the last minute. As a result, it decided to recruit setter Chen Shintong of China in the Asian quarter. On top of that, Jeonggwanché selected Bookicic by playing for the LOVB league including outside heater Giovanna Milana of the U.S. In addition, Yasmin Vedart joined the Sigorta Shop of the Turkiye League, and most of his proven track record was omitted.</p>
  279.  
  280.  
  281.  
  282. <p>LOVB, which began as a club league in 2020, is the third volleyball professional league in the United States that plans to launch a pre-season in November 2024. Ahead of the league&#8217;s launch, it is actively recruiting excellent players from each country, including their own countries, Asia, and Europe. If U.S. college players who will turn their attention to their own leagues or outstanding European players who want a career on the big stage cross over, it may become more difficult to supply and demand players.</p>
  283.  
  284.  
  285.  
  286. <p>Willow Johnson (Mojo of San Diego, USA), a native of Heungkuk Life Insurance who re-applied for the tryout, is currently playing in the PVF league. However, since PVF is a relatively short season league that takes place from February to May, players who played in the league can also apply for the tryout in Korea. However, Willow failed to renew his contract with Heungkuk Life Insurance.</p>
  287.  
  288.  
  289.  
  290. <p>Foreign players in the men&#8217;s division generally choose stable players again this time. However, some foreign mercenaries, who had been heavily involved in renewing contracts due to their excellent performances in the team, changed their uniforms, sending shockwaves throughout the world.</p>
  291.  
  292.  
  293.  
  294. <p>First of all, the transfer of Leonardo Leyva (Cuba, Hyundai Capital), who is scheduled to play a total of seven seasons from the 24-25 season in the Korean league, became an issue.</p>
  295.  
  296.  
  297.  
  298. <p>Leo joined Samsung Fire &amp; Marine Insurance on a loan form for the 12-13 season, and played until 2015 before moving to overseas leagues. He returned to the domestic league when he joined OK Financial Group in the 21-22 season, and contributed greatly to his team&#8217;s first Champions League appearance in eight years in the 23-24 season.</p>
  299.  
  300.  
  301.  
  302. <p>&#8220;There is a high possibility that Leo will renew his contract with the original team (with OK Financial Group), as other teams will take him to the market anyway,&#8221; a volleyball source said before the tryout. However, OK Financial Group has not announced its intention to renew the contract, leaving Ansan for Cheonan for the first time in three seasons. Leo is the first foreign player to play six seasons in a V-League so far. If the team completes the 24-25 season, it will break the record with seven seasons.</p>
  303.  
  304.  
  305.  
  306. <p>Yosvani Hernandez (Cuba), who played for Samsung Fire &amp; Marine Insurance, will head to Korean Air, his former team, as the No. 1 overall pick. He joined OK Financial Group (formerly Rush &amp; Cash) in the 18-19 season and spent 23-24 seasons with Samsung Fire &amp; Marine Insurance through Hyundai Capital and Korean Air.</p>
  307.  
  308.  
  309.  
  310. <p>Yosvani ranked No. 1 overall in the 23-24 regular season with 1,068 points, and 0.55 per set was also ranked No. 1 overall in serve. His time difference average success rate also stood at 80.95 percent (No. 1). He has played in four of the seven teams, and is enjoying a rare career as a &#8220;V-Journeyman&#8221; as a foreign player.</p>
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. <p>KB Insurance has renewed its contract with Andres Villena of Spain, a former foreign player, and Samsung Fire &amp; Marine Insurance has brought in Mattei Kok of Slovenia, a foreign player who has already been verified by Woori Card in the 23-24 season.</p>
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. <p>In addition, a total of three teams, Korea Electric Power Corporation (Luis Elian Estrada (Cuba), Woori Card (Michael Ahi (Dutch)), and OK Financial Group (Manuel Luconi (Italy), have recruited new foreigners.</p>

  407.  
  408.  
  409.  
  410. <p>Ra Gun-ah, from the United States, was named Ricardo Ratliffe, and he entered the KBL as a foreign player in 2012 and made his first connection with Korea. Since then, Ra Gun-ah has grown into the league&#8217;s best foreign player by winning five titles and three MVP awards for foreign players through Ulsan Hyundai Mobis-Seoul Samsung-KCC.</p>
  411.  
  412.  
  413.  
  414. <p>Ra Gun-ah spent 12 seasons on the Korean stage, breaking numerous records, including the No. 1 overall rebound and the No. 1 most appearances and points scored in the playoffs, beating Seo Jang-hoon and Kim Joo-sung. In 2018, he acquired Korean citizenship in recognition of his special naturalization for six years and earned the Korean name Ra Gun-ah. Ra Gun-ah joined the national team under the national flag and played in two Asian Games, the FIBA Asian Cup, and the Basketball World Cup, playing as an undisputed ace.</p>
  415.  
  416.  
  417.  
  418. <p>Until now, the interests of his team, the professional basketball federation, and the basketball association have all been intricately intertwined in Ra Gun-ah&#8217;s contract for Korean stage activities. However, after the 2023-24 professional basketball championship decision, which ended in early May, all related contracts for Ra Gun-ah were terminated, leaving the future in a fog. It is necessary to reconsider Ra Gun-ah&#8217;s status, contract status, method, duration, and scale from the ground up.</p>
  419.  
  420.  
  421.  
  422. <p>Ra Gun-ah&#8217;s contract with the national team ended after the &#8220;2025 FIBA Asia Cup Qualifier&#8221; against Thailand in February and has already put down the national flag. As the contract period with KCC, a professional team, also expired, they had to sign a contract or find a new team. KBL says it will also discuss Ra Gun-ah&#8217;s issue at its board meeting in May.</p>
  423.  
  424.  
  425.  
  426. <p>When asked about the possibility of renewing his contract in February, Ra Gun-ah said, &#8220;Personally, I want to continue my relationship with Korea. But that&#8217;s not something I can decide on. It&#8217;s up to the Basketball Association and the KBL.&#8221;</p>
  427.  
  428.  
  429.  
  430. <p>In terms of skills, Ra Gun-ah is still good enough to play in both the national team and the KBL. Born in 1989, Ra Gun-ah was evaluated as having seen her skills decline slightly from her heyday when she was in her mid-30s, but she proved her strong performance by appearing to be rejuvenated in the playoffs this season.<br>Ra Gun-ah also performed in the &#8220;Super Team&#8221; KCC, which has national team-level colleagues such as Heo Woong, Song Kyo-chang, Choi Jun-yong and Lee Seung-hyun, and took the lead in setting the record of &#8220;winning the championship match of the fifth-place team in the regular league&#8221; for the first time in KBL history.</p>
  431.  
  432.  
  433.  
  434. <p>The problem is that even though Ra Gun-ah gained Korean nationality as a special naturalized player, she is still in an ambiguous state of being classified as a foreign player in the KBL. This was a different treatment from half-Korean (mixed blood) players such as Moon Tae-jong, Moon Tae-young, Lee Seung-joon and Jeon Tae-pung, who were naturalized before Ra Gun-ah and also played for the national team. It was also a decision that considered that if Ra Gun-ah, who had the best skills as a foreign player in his heyday, was recognized as a domestic player, the power imbalance between the team with Ra Gun-ah and other teams would become too severe.</p>
  435.  
  436.  
  437.  
  438. <p>However, many pointed out that it is a contradictory &#8220;double standard&#8221; to treat a player who gave Korean nationality and wore a national flag as a foreigner in his own league. Of course, Ra Gun-ah also agreed to hire a national team member on condition of receiving a separate allowance, but the scene revealed that she was treated only as a foreign &#8220;mercenary&#8221; of the national team using the system of naturalized players rather than recognizing Ra Gun-ah as a true Korean player.</p>
  439.  
  440.  
  441.  
  442. <p>The biggest variable in whether Ra Gun-ah will renew his contract again this time depends on whether he recognizes his status as a domestic or foreign player. The problem is that the professional team is still too good to be recognized as a domestic player, and on the contrary, it is worrisome that the decline due to his old age is too high to be classified as a foreign player.</p>
  443.  
  444.  
  445.  
  446. <p>Many basketball fans argue that given the age and contribution of Ra Gun-ah, who will turn 35 in the next season, it is okay to give her the right to play as a Korean player. In reality, however, the KBL is a league in which foreign players account for a large portion of the KBL. Expectations for Korean and foreign players are completely different.</p>
  447.  
  448.  
  449.  
  450. <p>No matter how old Ra Gun-ah was, none of the Korean players has scoring ability and control under the basket. Moreover, the fact that Ra Gun-ah&#8217;s presence will have the effect of recruiting another foreign player could shake the game of the league. On the other hand, it is uncertain whether Ra Gun-ah will be able to continue playing as one option against foreign ace players from other teams.</p>
  451.  
  452.  
  453.  
  454. <p>Also, the contract method and size will vary depending on his status. If he becomes a Korean player, chances are high that he will become a free agent. If so, his stock price could shake the game of the league by surpassing other Korean FA players and have a significant impact on the current salary cap</p>
  455.  
  456.  
  457.  
  458. <p>However, if a player becomes a foreign player, he or she has to make a special draft bid again. KBL clubs may be reluctant to recruit a decrepit player, or there may be a situation in which he has to leave Korea because he is dissatisfied with negotiations with Korean clubs or salary limits.</p>
  459.  
  460.  
  461.  
  462. <p>Even if Ra Gun-ah remains here, if she is a foreign player in the professional league, the issue of renewal and allowances with the basketball team can be complicated. First of all, in terms of purely contributing to the national basketball team, renewing contract with Ra Gun-ah is close to a gain. While naturalized players account for a very high proportion of the electricity in the world basketball, the Basketball Association has not yet clearly prepared an alternative to Ra Gun-ah.</p>
  463.  
  464.  
  465.  
  466. <p>Ra Gun-ah has also expressed several affection and responsibility for the national team, not just for money, and he is expected to be able to play for the next two to three years with his skills. Coach Ahn Joon-ho, who took the helm of the men&#8217;s national basketball team this year, gave Ra Gun-ah the captain&#8217;s armband and praised his continued skills and leadership.</p>
