Dying in a car accident, over-the-top verbal abuse and abusive language toward a 14-win pitcher...Athletes and families are not emotional bins

It is unlikely that he is a Korean who has nothing to do with professional baseball if he or she even searches for his or her family's SNS. What if the abusive language is "Do you care about baseball?"
Hayley Weiss, wife of Hanwha Eagles Ryan Weiss, does not feel intimidated by unfamiliar Korea but rather enjoys it. I am born with an outgoing and positive personality.
I often share my daily life full of affection with my husband. As a wife of a professional player, she also knows how to deeply thank her fans for their love.
She communicates actively enough with her husband's teammate Cody Ponce's wife to create a running crew running near the ballpark with fans. At this point, I wonder if I should call it 'foreign assistance' rather than 'foreign assistance'.
This year, the second year of living in Korea, is even more active. He received an honorary resident card from Jung-gu, Daejeon, and recently appeared on a broadcast to invite his parents to introduce Korea and have fun together.
There is always an uncomfortable look at the happiness and extroversion of others. Many people misunderstand celebrities as a kind of 'emotional trash bin'.

Weiss' wife recently released a DM (direct message) from a fan who came to her on her social media.
The fan said "Don't try to make money from broadcasting. He poured out abusive language such as "mind baseball" and "die in a car accident in your family" with words that were hard to put into his mouth. In particular, it is all the more malicious that it spews evil words not only to Weiss and Haley, but also to family and parents.
Weiss is as close to his teammates in the locker room as he is passionate on the mound, and he is a kind player to fans outside the ballpark.
He was an independent league player before coming to Korea. Now, fame, interest, exposure to privacy, and indiscriminate expression of emotions in Korea are not familiar.
But Weiss' wife coped maturely. "They swear at me. I told my husband, mother, and future child to die in a car accident, so I didn't hide the fact that I was hurt.

In the case of the globalized Korean entertainment industry, the natural culture of taking legal action against wrong actions such as swearing, invasion of privacy, and circulation of rumors by fans has become belatedly established. In the case of baseball, it is not that there has been a head-to-head confrontation with fans in court, but it is very rare. It's not because I take it for granted. This is because he is worried that there will be a problem in his baseball career or that the burning of thatch will increase while trying to catch bedbugs.
What is clear is that players and fans, both inside and outside the ballpark, are formed only with affection for the team and support for each other, and there is no reason for a player to become a fan's unilateral emotional trash can. As a professional, there is nothing we can do about the momentary criticism of 'I'm not good at baseball', but we can't even understand the behavior that goes beyond the line.

Korean baseball, which has been in operation for more than 40 years, surpassed 10 million spectators for the first time last year, and a new record is certain again this year. The most ideal professional sport. It is regrettable that this is the only fan culture of professional baseball, which is becoming a healthy leisure life.
The more popular it becomes, the more side effects will follow. Nevertheless, I hope that the line will be kept. Without fans, there is no professionalHowever, actions beyond basic courtesy and human principles other than 'service' cannot be defended.
