From the 22nd, two consecutive games between the Los Angeles Angels and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be held at Dodger Stadium. The showdown between the two teams, called the “Freeway Series,” has a very slight advantage over the Los Angeles Angels with 73 wins and 71 losses, but they have lost all of their last 10 showdowns and have lost 10 consecutive games.

As a result, attention is focusing on whether the Dodgers, which have been strengthened by the recruitment of Ohtani, will be able to win 11 consecutive games against the Angels. Ohtani, who joined the Los Angeles Angels in 2018 while heating up the U.S., won two unanimous American League MVPs in 2021 and 2023.

Ohtani’s bat is burning fiercely these days. He slowed down a bit at the end of May, but successfully rebounded by announcing his revival. Since Mookie Betts was placed at the top of the batting order due to a broken back of his hand, he has recorded eight hits in 18 times at bat in four games. He is also recovering his status in major batting rankings. He hit a lead-off homerun in the first inning of the previous game to rank No. 1 in the NL home run alone, and leads the NL in OPS, scoring runs, and slugging percentage. Attention is focusing on whether Ohtani, who failed to make a hit against the Angels in the spring camp and exhibition games before the season, will be able to hunt for a home run with his good batting performance in the upcoming showdown.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Angels rank fourth in the American League West. Since 2017, they have been in a deep slump, ranking fourth in the division except for 2022 (ranking third in the division). The team’s poor pitching staff is also continuing, with the team’s average earned run ranking third overall. Leading hitter Mike Trout is taking a long time to rehabilitate, and Ohtani, who helped his pitching and hitting until last year, has also left. In contrast, the Los Angeles Dodgers is ranking first, beating Arizona, ranking second in the National League West by nine games.

Patrick Sandoval of the Los Angeles Angels and Tyler Glasnow of the Los Angeles Dodgers will be the starting pitchers for Game 1 of the Freeway Series. Without a win in the last three games, Sandoval is aiming for his first win in June against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sandoval recorded three losses in five games against the Dodgers from 2020. Glassnow, who is wearing the Dodgers’ uniform along with Ohtani this season, has struck out more than nine in three consecutive games, ranking first in overall strikeouts.

A national petition calling for the disbandment of the Korea Football Association (KFA) due to controversies surrounding the appointment of Hong Myung-bo as the national team head coach has garnered 50,000 signatures.

With this support, the petition is set to be addressed at the National Assembly. Alongside an audit by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, political pressure on the KFA is expected to intensify.

Jeon claimed that from the start, Hong’s appointment 스포츠 as coach was pre-determined, despite attempts to appear as though they were considering foreign coaches.

An has recorded five top-10 finishes in 19 starts on the PGA Tour this year, including a playoff loss at the Sony Open in January. But his last top-10 came in May and An has broken 70 just twice over his last 12 rounds.

The finale of K-pop sensation RIIZE’s first fan concert tour will be screened in cinemas worldwide, its agency announced Wednesday.

Through an official press release, SM Entertainment revealed that the “2024 RIIZE FAN-CON ‘RIIZING DAY’ FINALE in SEOUL” concert is scheduled to take place at KSPO DOME, Seoul from Sept. 13 to 15, marking a grand finale to its international fan concert relays.

The label also noted that the first performance on Sept. 13 will be broadcast live in 21 cities worldwide, including North America, Europe and Asia 커뮤니티 for the fans unable to attend in person.

SM also announced that even though all three performances sold out quickly after ticket sales opened, they will be releasing more seats for those who missed out. These additional tickets will be available to purchase on Melon Ticket starting at 8 p.m. on Aug. 5.

Contrary to what its title suggests, “Revolver” is not an action-packed film. Instead, it is a chase drama focusing on a woman’s relentless pursuit of money owed to her, with insufficient thriller elements.

Jeon Do-yeon stars as Ha Soo-young, a former police officer just released from prison after being caught up in an unexpected corruption scandal two years earlier.

Accepting a deal from her then superior and lover Chief Lim (Lee Jung-jae) and Andy (Ji Chang-wook), a big shot in an investment company, she took the fall in exchange for a promised big fortune.

However, upon her release, she discovers that Chief Lim has died and her promised reward vanished. Instead, she encounters Jung Yoon-sun (Lim Ji-yeon), an unfamiliar bar hostess, and learns that the new apartment promised to her as part of the reward is now in possession of a stranger.

Sensing betrayal, Soo-young sets out to find Andy, uncovering greater and more dangerous forces along the way.

The film marks Jeon’s second collaboration with director Oh Seung-uk of the crime romance “The Shameless” (2015).

Jeon delivers a powerful performance as a woman driven by an obsession with her unpaid dues in the new film. Her portrayal is calm, cold and dry, 토토 yet charged with intense energy, capturing the desperation of someone with nothing left to lose. Her physical commitment to the role is equally impressive.

Despite Jeon’s compelling performance, “Revolver” falters in its execution. The film overly fixates on Soo-young, seemingly relying too heavily on Jeon’s star power.

The complex web of characters and backgrounds surrounding her is inadequately explored, leaving the narratives of supporting characters underdeveloped and their relationships haphazardly addressed. This results in a scattered impression and a monotonous storyline.

As Soo-young chases Andy, the film continues to introduce new characters without providing enough engaging incidents to sustain audience interest.

The dense dialogue can be difficult to follow, potentially confusing viewers who miss key details. The film maintains a tranquil tone for much of its runtime, which may feel tedious for some before the action finally picks up toward the end.

“Revolver” opens in theaters Aug. 7.
