[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Yeom Kyung-yeop (52), the manager of the professional baseball team SK Wyverns, was once again transported to the hospital emergency room. This is the second time since he fainted during a game in June.

Five days after his return, on the 6th, Yeom was taken to the emergency room of Seoul Chung-Ang University Hospital about two hours before the KBO League away game against the Doosan Bears held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.

An SK official stated, "Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was unable to lead today's game due to a lack of energy," and added, "He was not feeling well since this morning and decided to undergo a medical examination at the hospital."

Previously, on June 25th, Yeom suddenly collapsed in the dugout after the top of the 2nd inning during the first game of a doubleheader against Doosan at Incheon SK Happy Dream Stadium.

At that time, it was reported that Manager Yeom was suffering from extreme stress due to SK's poor performance.

Afterwards, Yeom was away from the team for 68 days and returned on the 1st in the game against the LG Twins.

However, even after his return, it is known that Yeom suffered from severe stress due to a losing streak that continued from the 28th of last month.

For the time being, SK will play games under the interim management of acting manager Park Kyung-wan.
