Baejae High School Baseball Player Apologizes for Regional Discrimination Controversy

Hello, I'm Lim Jong-ho, a player from Baejae High School. First, I sincerely apologize to the Gwangju regional officials, baseball fans, and Gwangju Il High School players and baseball personnel who must have been deeply hurt by the inappropriate cheering methods shown by our team members during today's Chungryonggi game. We got swept up in the excited atmosphere during the game and acted carelessly without respecting our opponents. I'm well aware that this was rude behavior that cannot be justified for any reason. When I think about how much insult this caused to the opposing team and how much disappointment I've brought to many baseball lovers, I feel deeply ashamed and regretful of myself. On the playing field where we should compete fairly based on sportsmanship, I deeply reflect on how we damaged the value of baseball through our excessive behavior. I painfully learned that a victory without respect for our opponents is meaningless. Once again, I sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable.
Don't even think about going pro. With a personality like mine, what would I do going pro?
Β
By the way, he's the only one from Baejae High School's baseball team with any real shot at getting drafted to the pros (lower round though)

He really screwed himself over for life
local news that somehow went international... only on the internet
They're probably gonna make a list of students who posted apologies and spread it around
If he wasn't planning on going pro then whatever, but like... would someone aiming for pro even do that?
If a kid who could actually make it to the pros did this, that's straight-up savage. If some loser who didn't even care about going pro did this, then he's just flinging crap around lmaooo
Just stop beating him with a bat now
What are you doing? Come quick to the Yongin semiconductor factory and let's make money
Isn't this school bullying against the other students? If his career gets blocked for his character and he can't even go to college because of bullying charges, is that really a happy ending?
Baseball really is the foundation of legit internet extremism though
Legit, the baseball community's spirit is the 4chan-tier spirit
Yeah, starting from the baseball boards
??????: what the hell, came all the way to the baseball community to talk baseball and cause a shitstorm
The Korean 4chan version used to get banned for shock humor all the time. So some user created a site like "banned content archive" to store all the censored posts. That's how it started
Ugh, is this even right?
Now they're mocking and cursing the player who isn't even the one who said it. What's the difference between that and what the people in the dugout were doing?
What's about to happen) The principal comes out saying it's our fault for not educating the students properly, apologizes deeply, gives them a history lesson. Then baseball community users say "wasn't this enough? You trying to kill minors over this?" lmaooo Next day, posts like "[Yongin Posh stepping all over Baejae High School γ·γ·γ·]" γ΄ Yeah they were wrong but is this right against minors.... γ΄ Let's backlash γ΄ Yongin users going full legit extremism while complaining about teens becoming 4chan users lmaooo
floo is a legend
And then when the flag-waving boomer extremists show up yelling "patriotic anti-communist national school!" it'll be the cherry on top
Actually not next day. It already happened today with people saying is this right against minors, and then the Baejae student confessed lmaooo
Rumor is the principal wanted to disband all the sports teams anyway. It's supposedly a prestigious private school but the athletes aren't getting grades and they're just getting in the way of studying
And now even the wheelchair protest group got dragged into this for no reason...
It's sad. They're still young, and yeah they were pretty over the line with what they said, but they're high schoolersβit's not unforgivable in my opinion
They'll figure it out. Even if they have to repeat a year, they still gotta get into college...
Why did you leave out the 5/18 disrespect? lmaooo
Just have them study history again. It's not like they should retire or anything.
wait what happened?? I need the full tea on this one π
honestly respect for the apology but regional discrimination is so random lmao why are people like this
as someone from a 'lesser' region this hits different... glad he's owning up to it at least
every country has that one region everyone jokes about I guess π
