Ryu Ji-hyun, head coach of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) baseball team to be held in March next year, left for Taipei, Taiwan, via Incheon International Airport on the 20th.
This is to observe the WBC qualifying round at Taipei Dome. The preliminary round will be held in a round robin format with four countries participating: Taiwan, South Africa, Nicaragua and Spain. The top two qualifying teams qualify for the WBC finals in March 2026.
Coach Ryu Ji-hyun met with reporters at Incheon International Airport on the 20th before leaving the country and expressed various thoughts on the basic plan for the national team. Coach Ryu Ji-hyun said, `We will form the best national team with the best power without any such part in the upcoming WBC preparation process in 2026. Korean players as well as overseas players check it out. We will even see veteran players playing in the minor leagues."
However, it is not possible to carry out the business trip schedule due to personal reasons. KBO said on the 21st that `Lee Sung-jae, Ryu Ji-hyun's father-in-law, passed away on the 20th.'
Ryu Ji-hyun will watch South Africa-Nicaragu and Spain-Taiwan matches scheduled at Taipei Dome on the 21st before returning home from Taipei on the morning of the 22nd. The mortuary was set up at Korea University Anam Hospital Funeral Home No. 103, and the coffin is set at 8 a.m. on the 23rd. Director Ryu Ji-hyun will head straight to the mortuary after returning home on the 22nd.
Coach Ryu Ji-hyun will return home halfway, but the accompanying members of the power reinforcement committee will carry out the rest of the schedule as scheduled. Kang In-kwon, Lee Dong-wook, Heo Sam-young, chairman of the Power Enhancement Committee, and an employee in charge of power analysis accompanied the WBC preliminary round. The members of the power reinforcement committee will return home on the 26th after watching Spain-Nacaragu, Taiwan-South Africa on the 22nd, South Africa-Spain, Nicaragua-Taiwan on the 23rd, and 2-3rd place matches on the 25th at the Taipei Dome.
