And SSG Landers ace Kim Kwang-hyun, who was one of the centers of the golden generation, including the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics and the runner-up at the 2009 WBC, also expressed caution.
Kim Kwang-hyun met with reporters at the Kushigawa Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 28th and was asked about the WBC national team next year while talking about preparing for the season. Kim Kwang-hyun appeared on YouTube with Yoon Seok-min and Ryu Hyun-jin after last season and talked about the national team.
