Kim Ha-seong, who was nominated for the shortstop Gold Glove last year, said there was no problem with Edmon, who will be in charge of second baseman.
He also says that he will show a different image from the first WBC, when he competed as the youngest member of the national team in 2017.

At the time, he was eliminated in the first round and did not show much performance, but this time he showed confidence in the match against Japan, where a large number of big leaguers such as Ohtani participated.

However, the situation in his team is not easy.
There are several contenders for the shortstop spot, and a move to second base is likely.
Kim Ha-seong, who has entered his third year in the major leagues, says he will show everything as a result.
