When Park Se-woong struck a ceremony pose, waving his hand next to his face, Kang Baek-ho shouted, “You have to step on the base.”

Colleagues said, “(Ceremony) Kang Baek-ho is prohibited, Kang Baek-ho is prohibited,” and Park Se-woong, who was listening to the story next to him, also said, “Of course, your left foot steps on the base. When you hit a double, you pull out the second base and celebrate,” making his teammates burst into laughter.

Afterwards, Kang Baek-ho showed a serious attitude throughout the day, telling him to focus on base running.
Meanwhile, in an interview after winning the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Kang Baek-ho shed tears, saying that although he had suffered from severe panic disorder for the past four months, he was so happy to have achieved such a good result as winning.
