"Did you give up on ML?" Why did Kim Hye-sung come back to Korea without a big league contract

Kim Hye-sung, who is seeking to advance to the U.S. Major League, quietly entered Korea. He has not yet signed a contract with a major league team. With the posting deadline approaching, returning without a contract could lead to a view that he is giving up his entry into the big leagues.안전놀이터
Kim Hye-sung became a major league posting star in Kiwoom Heroes and ambitiously declared her challenge to the major leagues. After the end of last season, she announced her entry into the U.S. and seemed to easily go to the big leagues when she joined hands with CAA Sports, the agent of "Superstar" Ohtani (LA Dodgers).
As such, Kim applied for posting and became free to negotiate with 30 Major League teams for a month from the 5th (Korea time). However, no news has been released until after Christmas. Korea is the same, but the U.S. is a culture where people spend time with their families from Christmas to the end of the year. Unless it's really important, the team's affairs are almost "all-stop."
In the U.S., contracts are made according to players' weight class thoroughly. Players who have large ransom payments make contracts, and then negotiate with them. In the U.S., Kim is not considered a perfect "main player" in the U.S. The cold reality is that she is only a candidate for the starting lineup of a team that needs second basemen. Therefore, Kim cannot be evaluated more highly than Kim Ha-sung, who has already emerged as a star player after being recognized for his ability in defense, contact, and base running in the Major League. Kim Ha-sung, however, is also said to have a shoulder injury issue, but the contract has not been signed yet. In other words, it may take more time before Kim's turn comes.
The problem is that Kim Hye-sung's posting will close at 7 a.m. on the 4th of next month. Even if last-minute negotiations can proceed beyond the year, there is not enough time. Although they are busy trying to reach a last-minute settlement, it has been argued that the worst-case scenario of failure to enter the U.S. cannot be ruled out at all. In the meantime, since Kim Hye-sung entered Korea, it can be interpreted that he has declared to give up the contract.
In conclusion, that is not true. Due to Kim's status, she already bought a return ticket for her flight at this time. She received military service benefit from the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. She did not even make it to the Premier 12 national team because she had to undergo basic military training after this season. However, she is not yet a civilian. Athletes who receive military service benefits must do 544 hours of voluntary work in the sports field for 34 months. They are practically in the military until they finish this. Military status is allowed to go abroad after reporting it to the Military Manpower Administration, and the period of time she can stay overseas is limited.
From Kim Hye-sung's point of view, it would be a perfect scenario if he had signed a major contract within this, but because that didn't work, he had no choice but to return to Korea. First, watch the agent's negotiations and then move back to the United States when the contract is signed.
