Kwak Been, who returned home with an Asian Games gold medal around his neck, opened up about the inner thoughts he has harbored for three years.

Although Kwak previously won a gold medal at the previous Asian Games, he shared, "Back then, I felt like I didn't do much, so I didn't think I had actually won the gold medal." He revealed that he viewed this tournament as an opportunity to prove himself once again. He also looked back on the moment in the final when he stepped down from the mound after throwing 111 pitches, expressing a sense of apologetic feeling toward his teammates.

Sports Mug delivers the arrival interview of Kwak Been, who finally fulfilled his role on the national team's mound after three years.
