19 Members of the Baseball Team are Exempted from Military Service... I was Excited About the ‘200 Million+α’ Reward
Attention is focused on the benefits received by the baseball team that won the gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.
According to Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) regulations, the national team receives a total of 200 million won as a gold medal reward.
A total of 30 people, including 7 coaches, 24 players, and staff, are expected to each receive millions of won in rewards. 온라인카지노사이트
Separately from the KBO reward, it is expected that he will also receive a government reward.
The exact size is not yet known, but it is not expected to be far from the level of the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games (900,000 won for gold, 525,000 won for silver, and 300,000 won for bronze).
They also receive daily wages during the convocation period. Coaches receive 400,000 won per day, and players receive 300,000 won per day.
Each player will receive 4.8 million won.
In Korea, which has adopted a conscription system, the military service benefits that the national team receives are expected to be the biggest reward from the players' perspective.
With baseball being excluded from the 2024 Paris Olympics as an official sport, opportunities for military service benefits are currently available only at the Asian Games.
National team players will replace military service as artistic sports personnel.
In this case, they can return to the stadium after only four weeks of military training.
A total of 19 players receive this military service benefit.
Players who have already served in the military or have been exempted are compensated by receiving points for the number of days they registered as free agents (FA).
According to KBO regulations, players who have not received military service benefits receive 10 days of FA points when participating in the Asian Games and 15 days when winning.
Coach Ryu Joong-il said in an interview right after his return to Korea, "There were a lot of worries about whether we would actually be able to win the gold medal, and there were also evaluations that our strength was weak."
He added, "We were able to win the gold medal thanks to the players' hard work."
