On the 21st, Choo Shin-soo appeared on DKNET, a Korean radio station in Dallas, USA, and expressed his regret about Ahn Woo-jin’s withdrawal from the national team, saying, “It is not easy for Korea to forgive.”

Ahn Woo-jin must be one of the best pitchers in Korea in terms of skills, enough to win his first Golden Glove in the 2022 season. However, the controversy over school violence during Whimoon High School has not yet been cleaned up, and on the 4th, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) eventually announced the final list of 30 WBC national team members excluding An Woo-jin.

Choo Shin-soo expressed the expression “unreasonable” about Ahn Woo-jin’s exclusion from the national team and argued that “seniors should step out for juniors”.

However, the public reaction was cold. The remark itself in defense of the controversial player was wrong, but the fact that the person who made the remark was Choo Shin-soo, who had a history of drunk driving, was also pointed out and harsh criticism poured out.

Choo Shin-soo, through this remark, became a way to expose his past mistakes, such as a criminal record and controversy over eating and running at the national university.

Netizens commented, “Shinsoo Choo is easily forgiven after drunk driving, so he makes comments like that easily”, “It’s amazing that a person who was exempted from military service and didn’t even show his face in the national team puts these words on it”, “Drunk driving to the national team operated with public tax money” , school violence, and violent crime history should all be expelled,” and “both messages and messengers are strange”, raising their voices of criticism. 스포츠토토

On the same day, KBS reported on this situation and recalled the scene video from the time when Choo Shin-soo was arrested for drunk driving in 2011. In the video, Choo Shin-soo is being taken away by the police while drawing a circle over his head. He is also showing the motion of walking straight along the line with his arms outstretched to check his drunkenness. As a former major leaguer, he is truly embarrassing.

Netizens said, “That video is the strongest than any comment criticizing Choo Shin-soo so far”, “Wow, I said something that didn’t make sense, but the video was stuffed from 10 years ago”, “I was forgiven for doing that, but I didn’t understand because my junior was not forgiven. See”, “I will be really embarrassed to be summoned again”, etc., and clicked their tongue.
