It's the same voice.
It is the request of Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon and LG Twins coach Yeom Kyung-yeop to do it as soon as possible if they can read the video of the check swing. The two coaches' request is to start in the second half of this year's All-Star break, not next year.
Since most decisions are video-reviewed and strike-ball decisions are made with ABS, complaints about the decision in the KBO League have almost disappeared. What's left is the check swing and balk problem.
That's why this season's check swing has become an issue on the spot and among fans. As the situation of the game has changed since the misjudgment of the check swing, and it has affected the victory and defeat, the demand for video review is growing not only by fans but also by the field.
In the match between Hanwha and LG in Jamsil on the 27th, a bad call for a check swing came out. After one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, LG No. 9 Lee Young-bin stopped after turning the bat on Kim Bum-soo's slider for the fifth pitch in 1B2S. It seemed to have stopped after turning quite a bit, but the referee declared the ball, and when Hanwha catcher Choi Jae-hoon asked the third baseman to decide on the check swing, the third baseman declared safe. It means it didn't turn.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon kicked out of the dugout and protested, and it was confirmed that Lee Young-bin's bat turned clearly on the broadcast replay screen.
Lee Young-bin later picked up another ball and dragged it to the full count, but he ended up swinging and striking out on the slider in the seventh pitch. I had to throw two more balls, but fortunately, the result didn't change.

On the 28th, both coaches hoped for a quick introduction of the video review of the check swing.
KBO is conducting a video review of checkswing in the Futures League this season. The camera is installed on the first and third bases to take pictures of the home plate. When the batter swings the bat, it is recognized as a swing when the angle of the bat is shifted in the direction of the pitcher rather than the point parallel to the front of the home plate. Two reading opportunities will be given and if the decision is reversed, the opportunity will be retained.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has insisted on video review of the check swing since last year. Coach Yeom claims that he can do enough with the current broadcast. Coach Yeom also said on the 28th, `The location of the relay camera at each stadium does not change. You only need to set a baseline. Isn't it fair to both teams?" When Lee Young-bin was caught smiling on the broadcast screen during the misjudgment, director Yeom said, `We were always beaten, but we wanted to benefit from it, too`.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon also wanted a quick introduction. There are times when referees miss out on protesting the previous day. I fully understand. However, in my view, the bat was spinning a lot at that time, but the first referee should have caught it, but he couldn't, and he couldn't even get the third base. So..."(It went out)", and "Isn't faith broken between each other?" I wish we could do it quickly. "I think there's nothing wrong with the All-Star break," he said, hoping to read the video of the check swing.
Director Kim said, `Shouldn't we be fair to each other. And there's no need to blush at each other. I hope we can start after the All Star break," he repeatedly insisted.
