Former baseball player Kang Jung-ho (38) will try again in the Major League (ML).

Kang Jung-ho posted a video titled "Kang Jung-ho's Last Dance Challenge" on his YouTube channel on the 24th. In the video, Kang Jung-ho was seen stretching, muscle training, and hitting at the same time. Kang Jung-ho, who had already withdrawn from active duty after 2019, is running a baseball academy in Los Angeles, California. Recently, the academy has been in full swing, with many juniors playing in the 메이저놀이터 KBO League choosing to go to the U.S. to take lessons from Kang Jung-ho.
However, Kang has decided to return to the professional league. He recently voted for a re-challenge to the Major League on his YouTube channel. The vote attracted more than 30,000 baseball fans, with 92 percent approving and 8 percent disapproving. Finally, Kang took the bat again. Kang said he would try again in the U.S. through an ML tryout.

"I'll show you how I progress even at my old age," Kang said. "I want to show you that it's not too late." "I want to show you my best regardless of the result. I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a lot of support that's not easy."

After his debut with the Hyundai Unicorns in 2006, Kang moved to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2015 after playing for the Nexen Heroes (now the Kiwoom Heroes). Kang, who was known as a big shortstop, hit 21 home runs in the 2016 ML in the Major League. However, his performance deteriorated due to wrist surgery in 2018, and he was released after the 2019 season.

DUI, which he committed three times, has also hampered his career. Kang was caught for DUI in December 2016, which sparked controversy after he was found to have committed DUI twice. Due to this issue, he failed to return to the KBO League and retired.

Netizens who heard the news of Kang Jung-ho's re-challenge to the ML said, "It's ridiculous, so I'm more excited," "I want to see you on the ML stage even for a year," "I'm rooting for you, although there have been mistakes in the past," and "I'm rooting for the challenge itself."
