In professional baseball this year, Kiwoom Chung Hyun-woo, Hanwha Jung Woo-joo, and "Super Rookie" will compete for the Rookie of the Year.

19-year-old Yang Min-hyuk is banging on the Premier League, and professional golfer Yuna is trying to win the LPGA Rookie of the Year.

Reporter Cho Eun-ji took a look at the sports stars to watch this year.

The 'Super Rookie' is coming to the ballpark in 2025.

They are Jung Hyun-woo and Jung Woo-joo, who first met in the fifth grade of elementary school "Little Baseball" and played a "one-two punch" in the high school league and the 18-year-old national team.Left-hander Jung Hyun-woo, called

'Complete Pitcher', wore Kiwoom's uniform as the first overall pick,
Jung Woo-joo, who received a big league love call by shooting a 160-kilometer fastball
, joined Hanwha.

[Jeong Hyun-woo / Kiwoom Pitcher: I want to be the top left-hander of Korea with command (control) and breaking ball skills.]

[Jung Woo-joo / Hanwha Pitcher: My goal is to become a good starter with an average speed of more than 150km.]

Unlike last year, when Doosan's Kim Taek-yeon overwhelmed, professional baseball is already excited with 10 million spectators this year, when fierce competition for "big rookie" is expected.

On the soccer field, it is a "focus" on 19-year-old Yang Min-hyuk, who is about to make his Tottenham debut.

He is learning the atmosphere by receiving captain Son Heung-min's "uncle smile," and with the momentum that led to Gangwon's runner-up sensation, he will also compete for the main player in London and further challenge for offensive points.

[Yang Min-hyuk / Tottenham striker: Personally, I think I'm ready. I'll work harder and show you good performances..]


Next-generation centerback, Brentford Kim Ji-soo, who is drawing attention as the 'second Kim Min-jae', also dreams of playing built-in.

Yoon Na-na, who dominated the country by winning three gold medals in the prize money, grand prize, and lowest hit category, is tapping the LPGA this year.

He has great aspirations, including the Rookie of the Year award, the world No. 1 ranking, and the Olympic gold medal, and it is expected to be a boost to our team, which won three games last year.

[Yoon Na/Professional golfer/LPGA entry: I really want to be No. 1 in the world, and I want to stay No. 1 as long as possible.]

Like the 2025 Blue Snake Year, the snake that sheds its skin and grows every time, players are fighting themselves every day and preparing for the birth of stars.
