Park Kun-woo, who received two signals in the All-Star Game, "Cancel of reprimand"...90 Degree Greeting Director Kang In-kwon
"Director Kang Inkwon sent two signals."
NC Dinos' Park Kun-woo faced coach Kang In-kwon at an official meeting for the first time since the controversy over the work-assay ceremony.
Kim Joo-won, Park Se-hyuk, Pedi, and Park Gun-woo, who were selected as All-Stars from NC at the 2023 KBO All-Star Game held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 15th, were taking commemorative photos. At that time, coach Kang In-kwon also finished taking commemorative photos with the coaches of 10 other teams.
An NC official invited coach Kang In-kwon to the place where the players were. Head coach Kang In-kwon tapped Park Kun-woo on the shoulder as he moved to the position where the players were located. Park Gun-woo looked puzzled and finished the commemorative photo by shouting fighting.
Director Kang In-kwon, who headed to the dugout, 'tapped' Park Kun-woo's butt and moved with a casual look.
Park Kun-woo started as a right fielder in the game against Suwon KT on the 2nd and recorded 2 hits in 4 at-bats, and asked the bench to replace his fourth at-bat after hitting a fly ball to center field in the top of the 7th inning. However, coach Kang In-kwon interpreted Park Kun-woo's words and actions in the game on the 2nd as a professional player and a member of NC undermined the "one-team spirit."
According to officials, director Kang In-kwon was very angry and disappointed by Park Kun-woo's words and actions. Park Kun-woo was excluded from the first team entry as of the 3rd.
At a fan signing event, which is a pre-event for the All-Star Game, Park Kun-woo said, "I met the coach early and talked." And "Today, I came to the place where the fans voted for me. "I will tell you again later," he said, reluctant to reveal specific runs and views.

Prior to the All-Star Game, coach Kang In-won sent Park Gun-woo two signals, and Park Gun-woo bowed and gave a high five to Kang In-won, who entered as a Nanum All-Star coach, and greeted him 90 degrees in the first inning by hitting a left-handed hit and handing his batting gloves and protective equipment to first base coach Kang In-won.
Looking at the All-Star Game on the 15th, Park Gun-woo seems to have conveyed a clear message of self-reflection and apology to coach Kang In-.
Meanwhile, NC will start the second half of the season with three consecutive away games against Hanwha on the 21st.
