One of our artists, football player Seung Jun Oh, had the last league game on May 16. When he was supposed to be focusing on body management to prepare for the next league, a stimulating ‘concern’ had caught his attention instead. It was the request to join the Korean national football team for the IFAF World Championship, which is held every four years by International Federation of American Football (IFAF). Focusing on body management at Japanese league and U.S. NFL affiliated minor team while his team is not decided yet; it is not easy to work in a short period of time with a non-American team and a director as a dual citizen to prepare for the championship. 8 countries will be participating in this world championship including the football origination country United States, Canada, Mexico, France, and Australia where Oh will be playing as the offensive lineman. As his presence was noticed in Japanese X-League, Asia’s best league, there is a high expectation towards him not as a player representing a particular country, but as a player representing all of Asia. Not even 50 days are left until the beginning of the World Championship in July. While preparing to go into a new team, expectations are rising towards how good of a condition he will be in to bring good plays in this new challenge.
