It was his first press conference after returning from Guangzhou. On Tuesday, Korean Major Leaguer Choo Shin-soo was smiling, seemingly free from the pressure of the Asian Games.
“I felt great relief after winning the gold medal,” said the Cleveland Indians’ right fielder, looking smart in a gray suit with an unbuttoned white shirt.
Speaking at the Lotte Hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul, Choo said he never doubted the team’s triumph, but admitted that “he felt great pressure during the games.”
“I got the last out of the ninth. I caught the ball on the fly,” Choo recalled the moment when he sealed the team’s 9-3 victory over Taiwan at the final.
“I felt the moment was really long, and I had a flashback to some of my old times,” he added.
“I cannot be happier at the moment,” Choo said with a big smile.
How can he not be smiling? He won the gold medal in the Asia’s biggest sporting event, and he is now exempted from military service for helping Korea to win the gold medal.
Choo admitted that the military service is one that has been nagging him for some time.
“Too many times, I was asked what I would do, if I had to do the military service. It was quite stressful.”
“But I got rid of the big burden now. And I feel like I can do really well next season,” he added.
And on top of the military exemption, he can now use a VIP hotel room for free. The Cleveland Indians’ slugger Tuesday was appointed as the brand ambassador of the Lotte Hotel, and gained a free invitation to a VIP room in the hotel chain across the country until Nov. 21, 2011.
Most of all, Choo will now get a huge raise over the $461,100 that he earned this year. He was Cleveland’s most consistent player in the 2010 season, hitting .300 with 22 home runs and 90 runs batted in. The Korean won’t be a free agent for the next three years, but is eligible for salary arbitration in this winter.
The Indians’ manager Chris Antonetti said recently that the team is hoping to keep him in the team as long as possible, adding that he would discuss a long-term deal with Choo’s agent, Scott Boras.
While pundits expect the long-term deal could earn him nearly ten times as much as his current salary, Choo on Tuesday was reluctant to talk about his contract.
“I entirely trust Boras. And I’m only focusing on myself, and how to play well next season,” he said.
Asked about his next plan, Cho said, “I just want to get some rest, and spend some time with my family.”
Choo added that he is planning to travel around the country with his family. “I don’t particularly like traveling, but my wife likes it so much,” he said with another big smile.
Asked about his goal for the next season, his answer was brief.
“I hope I can do better than this season. It’s been a great season. But I still need to improve and to do better,” he added.

The Army established the country’s first female Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program at Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul Friday, giving women more access to the male-dominated military.
Decked in dark-navy cadet uniforms, the 30 students selected for the university’s program looked ready to join the country’s armed forces despite the current tentions on the peninsula.
“I feel very happy to join the ROTC program. I have been working out very hard to build up physical strength for the program. I will try to become a good officer who is not outperformed by male soldiers in various aspects,” said Kim Bo-hyun, a 21-year-old cadet majoring in crafts.
“I want to set a good example that would do away with prejudices and stereotypes against female soldiers and hone military skills to remove citizens’ anxiety about national security.”
The ceremony marking the opening of the program at the university was attended by more than 1,000 people, including Major Gen. Lee Seung-woo, chief of the Army Cadet Command, and politicians such as Reps. Chung Mong-joon and Park Jin of the ruling Grand National Party.
“The need in the military for the female professional workforce with unique traits such as flexibility and sensitivity has increased. I will do my utmost to help produce females who can sacrifice themselves to protect the nation and citizens,” Han said during her speech.
The Army announced 60 successful female ROTC applicants late last month. The competition rate was around six to one. They are from the seven universities including Sookmyung, which the Ministry of National Defense has chosen for the ROTC program.
The college-based officer commissioning program will be run on a trial basis and the ministry will expand it should it prove to be effective in recruiting good female military personnel, ministry officials said.
The ROTC program in Korea had been open only to male students.
For a woman to become a commissioned officer in Korea, she had to graduate from a military academy or apply to an officer commissioning program after graduating from a four-year university.
The 60 female cadets will receive 175 hours of military education and 12 weeks of training at a military training center. A female ROTC student is obliged to serve in the military for 28 months.
Some two months after the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, a group of about 500 female volunteer troops was set up in the southern port city of Busan. The number of female troops stands at 6,347 as of September.
The U.S. introduced an ROTC program for female students in 1973 and has produced a four-star female general ― Ann E. Dunwoody.

Have you thought about exception of military service for someone who win an Olympic or WBC cold medal? Nowadays if a national athlete win a gold medal, he doesn't have to take military service. How do you feel, when you hear about them on TV or Internet articles. I think it doesn't make sense. It doesn't consider fairness. There are two reasons for supporting my opinions.
First, the reason is why national athletes shouold win a medal because that's his or her job. Do you think that men athletes thought they want to be a national athlete because of exception of military service? No, I don't think so. If the anwser was yes, nobody cheers them.
They have good physical strength so if they don't take military service it makes national power lower.
Second, do they have oppotunity to except military service because they make the country's status higher? Some people say that but what about the other people? For example, let's say when Samsung workers developed Galaxy S, Samsung make a lot of money because of Galaxy S also the country's status should be higher because of good products. Why Samsung workers who developed Galaxy S have to take military service? It's not equity.
So I think they must take military service even they got good scores or results in the Olympic Games. If they want to keep the law, general people should complain about it forever. In addition, we never find this kind of exception in the world. So we need to consider about it.

How do you think aboout exception of military service for someone who win an Olympic gold medal? Do you think is that fair? or not? I support that that's enough fair. Now there is the law that exception of military service for them but some people say that is unfair. There are two reasons for my opinion.
First, when they get outstanding scores or grades in the Olympic, they could let people who in the world know about Rep Korea. So the name of Korea should be known better than before. Still some foreigners don't know where Korea is exactly. We need to introduce the Korea to play in an importan role in the world. So I think national athletes who win gold medal are qualified for exception of militaty service.
Second, the athletes show their ability during the 20s I think. However in Korea, men have to take military service before about 30 years old. So the military service suffer a heavy blow to the athletes. For example, there is a very famous baseball palyer in Korea. He is playing in MLB, US. So he can make a lot of money with his good ability but he's had to take military service. But now he doesn't have to take it because he just won Guangzhou Asian Gmaes gold medal anyway. However if he didn't get the medal, he should go back to Korea from US to take military sevice because his age. If it was happended, there should be many things lossing.
In my case, I already took the military service but I don't think exception of military service for them is needed for Korea and them. So I strongly recommend to keep the law going.

Blog Post #9 Assigment - News Stroy Summary and Response.
Nowadays English has become very important language in business. In Japan case, if your boss make a new globalization policy drastically, so you have to use English in every meeting, email, communication. You have only two years for improving speaking English. Mr.Daisuke Hase who is speaking English fluently now said younger people or business poeple in Japan, they are in opposition to studying the English.
In spite of that his colleagues are taking classes after work and using their IPods for studying English. one of Japanese said if you have business like global market, you must communicate in English. However younger generation doesn't want to work or study overseas. That's problem. Another problem is system, students just memorize grammar and vocabulary to enter college. In addition, children study English just to pass exams or homework. Just memorize that is not same as English conversation. So by 2013, there should be taught English classes in all high school.
Strongly I think we need to study English or other foreign languages. In the future, we should have many things to do with other countries. For example, there are many foreign-affiliated firms in Korea so when we have businesses with them we need to communicate with partners. As in the news, I think that in good ideas and the company should support the workers to improve speaking English.
In my case, I went to Canada to study English because I thought if I wanted to improve speaking English, I should be in English environment. So I decided to go there. However somebody could say to me you could study English in Korea as well but I just want to make it in short time and I also wanted to have experience which are different life like life in Western. Actually I think it worked so I'm very satisfied with what I decided.
