good role on the mound side Foreign players played a good role and won one precious victory," he said with a bright smile He got on base with a hit ball after one out in the top of the fourth inning

games (46 innings) with five wins and no losses with a 1.96 ERA he met once in Daejeon and won the season's matriarch with seven hits I also talked to commentator Park Yong-taek but I think it's the most "TOP" among pitchers who have come so far it also drops from the strike zone to the floor I definitely thought that I practiced a lot of those balls in Japan Nail is also one of the best foreign pitchers in the league he was drafted by the Oakland Athletics with a total of 608 in the 20th round and played in 17 major league games (24.1 innings) in the St and has played 26 games (149.1

would have been disappointed with his lack of goal-scoring ability Movement from the front is also really important Anyang coaching staff and Daejeon Kang Yoon-sung argued at the end of the game The

attack with its solid defensive organization Gangwon scored the winning goal in the 28th minute of the second half Kim Hyun-wook's corner kick led to Joo Min-kyu's header goal The problem was the scene that led to a corner kick Lee Ki-hyuk's ball from the left hit Kim Moon-hwan and went out of the goal line That's where the winning goal of Daejeon came out This is because he missed an opportunity to add points despite the unfavorable factors of numerical inferiority in the away game in the leading match Gangwon failed to continue its good trend of winning two consecutive games due to the loss of the game Gangwon's defense is the best in the league this season Gangwon has allowed only nine runs in 10 K League 1 games this season Gangwon has the fewest runs among the 12 K League 1 teams this season Gangwon's solid defense stood out in the match against Daejeon It doesn't change just because Gangwon suffered a bad call The misjudgment must also be 'accepted' as part of the

DGB Daegu Bank Park in Daeguk on March 8 An 8-year-old girl was fatally stabbed by a teacher at an elementary school in Daejeon on Monday The child's parents became alarmed at around 4:50 p.m Monday when their child did not arrive at a private academy as scheduled was enrolled in the school’s after-school program for students of working parents They reported the absence to both the school and the police Authorities traced the child's phone to a multimedia room inside the school where they discovered the victim next to a woman The injured woman found at the scene confessed to stabbing the girl is currently hospitalized for suspected self-inflicted wounds but is not in critical condition It remains unclear how the child was connected to the teacher Multiple local reports indicate that the teacher had returned to work in December after taking time off for depression A report also stated that four days before the incident the teacher exhibited erratic behavior and acted violently toward a colleague The motive for the attack is still unclear Authorities are investigating the circumstances leading up to the attack The Korea Herald by Herald CorporationCopyright Herald Corporation National Working parents fearful following Daejeon school tragedy Tracking app sparks debate over dilemma between kids' safety The recent murder of a first grade student by her teacher inside a Daejeon elementary school has left South Korea reeling especially for working parents of young children a working mother of a 4-year-old is one of them I can't hand over my daughter personally from kindergarten to private academies which gives me no choice but to ask academy teachers Just a few years before my kid enters elementary school "Whenever my daughter tells me about the strangers she comes across on the way to academies adding that the ardent belief that school is a safe place to entrust children to has completely shattered The tragedy has amplified concerns about school dismissal safety Unlike the common perception that the biggest risk for young students occurs on their commute home due to traffic accidents the recent case has demonstrated that unexpected dangers exist even within school grounds I couldn't get hold of my daughter for 30 minutes after school as her phone was off and she was confused about where the shuttle bus was parked It made me realize that just knowing the route home isn't enough Though school dismissal protocols could vary by school elementary school students must be escorted by an adult guardian some parents opt to allow their children to leave school on their own by signing a waiver In areas where private academies are not as prevalent some parents resort to hiring "school pickup helpers" through local community platforms with fees ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 won per trip because younger students finish school early in the afternoon finding a reliable helper can be challenging Despite the government operating a subsidized childcare escort service for children aged 3 to 12 eligibility is limited to families earning between 150 percent and 200 percent of the median income the average wait time for the service last year was nearly a month The shortage of workers is partly due to the low wages -- at just above minimum wage -- making recruitment difficult the government can not significantly raise wages as it could create disparities with other social service jobs such as senior caregivers and welfare workers an education government official explained With limited resources for keeping track of children's whereabouts some parents are turning to a tracking application igniting a fierce debate among parents and teachers The victim’s father revealed that he used a monitoring app installed on his daughter's phone to help locate her after she went missing from the school's after-school program allows parents to track their child's real-time location and listen to surrounding sounds remotely While the app played a crucial role in uncovering key details about the child's final moments its use has sparked concerns about privacy and surveillance in schools many parents are now considering installing similar tracking apps to ensure their children's safety “This tragedy made me realize how important it is to have some way to check on my children,” said Kim “It’s not about invading privacy but ensuring they are safe Another parent who wished to be anonymous echoed similar sentiments “I understand teachers may feel uncomfortable with the idea of being monitored teachers have strongly opposed the use of such apps in schools arguing that it crosses ethical boundaries and turns classrooms into spaces of constant surveillance “Parents could be listening to everything happening in the classroom without us even knowing,” one teacher wrote in a private online forum for educators “I might have to start making students turn off their phones when they enter school Lee

With that in mind, Nathan Sartain returns to recap all of the action from round 10 of the 2025 K League 1 season new teams seem to enter the potential title race that’s brewing and now Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors either have or likely will be mounting a challenge to current league leaders Daejeon Hana Citizen with plenty of the aforementioned sides enjoying favourable starts to their 2025 campaigns their current six-game unbeaten run has moved them into second In a 2-1 away win over Suwon FC this weekend the Green Warriors weren’t exactly on top form and realistically couldn’t have argued should the game have finished level following Lee Taek-geun’s late equaliser for the home side But contenders always find ways of churning out results and thanks to Jeon Jin-woo’s sixth-goal of the season Gus Poyet’s men found their winner in the 96th-minute That’s now the fifth league victory of the season for Jeonbuk who took 24 rounds to reach the same total last year Gimcheon Sangmu reasserted their own ambitions beating Ulsan HD 2-0 to leapfrog the Horangi and move into third The military side may still be six points away from Daejeon (albeit with a game-in-hand) but getting back to winning ways following back-to-back defeats is a big step in the right direction and keeps them firmly in touch with the other top teams Yu Kang-hyun will be relieved to get on the scoresheet this week too helping set the groundwork for what was ultimately a comfortable Gimcheon win they dominated in a 1-0 win over Gangwon FC who themselves went down to 10-men after a reckless Kim Kyung-min challenge on goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun early in the second-half The Purples will be pleased with their buildup play here as it showed a lot of promise despite the fact the eventual breakthrough came via a corner Daejeon are now currently five-points clear at the top Over the past few weeks, FC Anyang have shown their mettle as a competitive K League 1 club and one capable of going toe-to-toe with any other team in the division Not only have the Violets managed to win three of their last four home matches earning positive results by way of genuine quality Ryu Byeong-hoon’s men have moved into the top-half potentially on their way to a comfortable season avoiding the promotion/relegation playoffs would constitute a successful debut in the top-tier and provide a steady platform to build upon but have the Violets also shown they can aim just that bit higher there’s certainly plenty of room for a number of teams to secure a Final A finish and there’s no reason why Anyang can’t jostle their way in especially if they keep their form up on their own patch Plus, in recent history newly-promoted sides do actually fare quite well when making the step-up to the top-flight. In fact, the last two seasons have seen the reigning K League 2 champions finish in third-place, while Daejeon Hana Citizen (who had won a promotion/relegation playoff to earn their spot in the 2023 K League 1 lineup) comfortably finished eighth when they came up you certainly can’t rule out Anyang having similar fortunes Upcoming in round 11, the bottom four teams in K League 1 will have a chance to take points from each other a Saturday afternoon match sees 11th-placed Daegu FC face Jeju SK with the Sky Blues hoping to reverse a run of seven consecutive defeats but have been in relatively decent form overall winning two and drawing one of their last five matches A victory for Jeju here could put them as high as eighth although they have picked up just two points on the road so far in 2025 some Saturday night action sees Gangwon FC host bottom-place Suwon FC they were defeated 1-0 away at Daejeon on Sunday ending their two-game winning streak in the process This makes it two wins and four losses across the provincial club's last six outings so they’ll aim for better consistency in the coming weeks and believe round 11 represents an opportunity to work towards that goal and will be unhappy with losing consecutive matches after finally earning their first win of the year back in round eight The highest Kim Eun-jung’s men could climb is 11th should they triumph - or even draw - next weekend but it would at least afford a chance at some breathing space away from rock-bottom Pohang Steelers held onto a 1-0 lead against FC Seoul with Oberdan’s seventh-minute winner the difference the Steelers now sit just outside the top-half whereas Seoul have extended their winless run to four matches Related NewsPLAYER RATINGS | Saint-Étienne 1-3 Monaco: Les Monégasques strike important blow in race for Champions League football The K League 1 Wrap-Up: Friday Night Football, Big Wins For the Top Four, and Daegu End Their Losing Streak #KLUPod | Marks Out of 10 After 10 Rounds Played in K League 1 Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Eberechi Eze scores as Eagles get ready to peak in FA Cup final Watch: Footage emerges of Huddersfield Town supporters turning on squad after 4-1 Leyton Orient drubbing Man United hold talks in “recent hours” with Victor Osimhen’s agents over sensational summer deal Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Eberechi Eze scores as Eagles get ready to peak in FA Cup final Glasner will be content with his side’s performance against a team chasing Champions League qualificationCrystal Palace had their chances and could have nicked it late on, but a 1-1 draw... Carlo Ancelotti set to leave Real Madrid after reaching exit agreement is accused of fatally stabbing seven-year-old Kim Ha-neul at an elementary school in Daejeon [DAEJEON METROPOLITAN POLICE] Suspect says victim was random; tragedy sparks concerns over school safety Police investigating a tragic case of a teacher fatally stabbing an 8-year-old girl at an elementary school in Daejeon said Tuesday the teacher's attack had been planned but was not targeted releasing her confession that she randomly chose the last student leaving the school the attack occurred Monday inside a storage room connected to the audiovisual room on the second floor of the school was found with multiple stab wounds to her face and shoulders was also found with self-inflicted injuries to her neck and hands Emergency responders transported both to a nearby hospital but the child succumbed to excessive blood loss while the teacher survived and is receiving treatment Daejeon police relayed the suspect as saying that she has been receiving treatment for depression since 2018 and that she had been "annoyed" after returning to school following a leave because the vice principal had refused to allow her to teach The teacher had filed for a six-month leave of absence on Dec 2024 and returned to work after 22 days on Dec the suspect said she had purchased a knife at a nearby market (I chose) the last student to leave the after-school program I told (the student) that I had a book to give her and lured the student into the audiovisual room The suspect is reported to have unlocked the audiovisual room and waited for the last student to leave the classroom next door The child's parents became alarmed around 4:50 p.m Monday when their daughter did not show up to meet a bus driver from her private academy as scheduled The first grader had been enrolled in the school’s after-school program The after-school teacher initially told the driver that the student had already left the classroom When the student failed to appear after 10 minutes prompting authorities to realize that the child was missing The tragic incident spread shock waves across South Korea raising urgent questions about school safety teacher mental health monitoring and the education system’s ability to prevent such acts of violence The tragedy also sparked criticism over the security and supervision of the government’s after-school program after-school teachers are required to personally take students to their parents or designated guardians as the attack occurred while the child was still on school grounds questions are being raised about whether school staff failed to follow procedures A Daejeon education office official stated that after-school dismissal procedures vary by school Authorities revealed that the teacher had a history of mental health struggles and had previously taken medical leave for depression She initially filed for a six-month leave of absence on Dec but returned to work after just 22 days on Dec Concerns are mounting over whether her early reinstatement was adequately assessed before allowing her back at the school the suspect reportedly twisted a colleague’s arm in an aggressive outburst she also complained about slow internet service and damaged a computer The school administration reported the incident to the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education Two education office officials visited the school Monday morning to address her behavior The case has intensified criticism of the education office’s failure to prevent the stabbing having better addressed the teacher's mental health issues beforehand While South Korea has policies allowing education offices to recommend leave for teachers unable to perform their duties due to mental or physical illness the review committee responsible for such decisions has not convened since 2021 Many argue that better oversight and prior intervention could have prevented the tragedy The incident has also reignited discussions on the urgent need for enhanced mental health support for educators Teachers often face extreme stress and burnout exacerbating existing vulnerable psychological conditions Experts have called for stricter policies to check on teachers returning from medical leave including mandatory psychiatric evaluations before reinstatement Acting President Choi Sang-mok expressed condolences to the victim’s family and directed the Ministry of Education to conduct a thorough investigation "Schools must be the safest place for children This heartbreaking tragedy must never happen again," Choi said police have launched an in-depth investigation into the motive behind the attack An arrest warrant is expected to be issued once the teacher is discharged from the hospital The victim’s grieving parents have demanded accountability questioning why a teacher with a history of mental illness and who showed violent behavior had been allowed back into a school environment "How can someone with a history of mental illness be put in charge of children The school and education office must take full responsibility for this tragedy," the victim’s father said in a statement Parents across Korea have expressed fear and outrage saying their trust in school safety has been shattered It’s terrifying to think that school — a place that should be a sanctuary— was where this happened is the one responsible is just unthinkable," said the mother of an 11-year-old student in an interview with The Korea Herald If you’re thinking about self-harm or suicide contact
