Lee Jong-beom and Lee Seung-yuop's injuries in Japan

‌I still remember it faintly.
Lee Jong-beom suffered an elbow injury from a pitcher named Kawajiri(?).
An acquaintance of mine explained that it was a terrible area for a player to get injured in, and predicted he wouldn't be able to play as well as before.
I didn't think it would actually happen, but just as they said, his batting performance after returning from injury didn't look like the Lee Jong-beom of the past.
During his time with the Yomiuri Giants, when Lee Seung-yuop was at his peak hitting over 40 home runs, he complained of pain in his thumb and underwent surgery.
At that time, Jang Hoon insisted he should never have surgery and should just endure it, saying that because nerves are so sensitive, undergoing surgery would prevent him from returning to his former self.
Lee Seung-yuop had the surgery, and he wasn't able to play as well anymore.
I remember him later expressing regret, saying that if he could go back, he would never have had the surgery.
They say there are no "ifs," but since both players represented Korean baseball, it leaves a bit of a lingering sense of regret.
