Lotte Giants pitcher Na Kyun-an officially apologized after being disciplined and self-reflecting over the privacy scandal last year.
Na Kyun-an, who met at Lotte's Miyazaki Spring Camp in Japan on the 24th, bowed his head, saying, "After that happened, there was no interview or such official occasion. I always felt sorry, but I couldn't express it. With this, I'm really sorry to my team, my teammates, and our fans."먹튀검증
Na Kyun-an caused a stir last year when her personal life became an issue. She revealed herself at a drinking party in the early morning hours of June when the season was in full swing. Lotte imposed a 30-game suspension and 40-hour social service ban due to bylaws including damage to her dignity.
His performance was also directly hit. Na pitched 130 ⅓ innings in 2023, recording six wins and eight losses and an ERA of 3.80. He slipped just before settling down as a starting pitcher. In 2024, he showed sluggish performance in 73 innings with four wins and seven losses and an ERA of 8.51.
Na spent time reflecting on herself. "I felt mentally weak as I showed bad performances. It disrupted the economy. It's my responsibility. I will never do that again," Na pledged.
It was an opportunity for her to become more mature as a person. "I always try to have the right mindset. I reflected a lot on how I should act while reflecting on why I am playing baseball. I thought a lot about preventing such a thing from happening again," Na said.
Na Kyun-an said, "I don't think it's appropriate to say 'restore the honor.' Na Kyun-an said, "Anyway, it's my fault. The first thing that should be done is to benefit the team. Baseball is a team sport. I will dedicate myself to the team and become a player that the team needs. When it comes to personal honor, things like that naturally follow later on. The first thing that comes first is the team."
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung is said to have helped a lot. Na Kyun-an said, "The manager gave me a lot of confidence, thankfully. Pitcher coaches took care of me a lot. I'm sorry and grateful again. I have to do better this year because it happened last year," vowing to repay him.
Na Kyun-an officially bowed his head once again. Na said, "I have never had another interview or such an opportunity. I always felt sorry for my teammates and fans, but I couldn't express it. I am especially very sorry for my fans. I will show you great performances at the baseball stadium in the future. As a baseball player, I will work hard as a member of the team and for the Lotte Giants fans."
Na Kyun-an doesn't care about his position. "Whether it's a starting pitcher or a bullpen, I'm not in a position to talk about it," Na said. "I'll be a player who can play whenever the coach tells me to play. I'll be a necessary player for my team anytime, anywhere."
