He was surprised by the bobblehead night at the Dodgers. He did not understand how big a deal it was. He said he needs to practice his first pitch.
He partnered with Hyundai because it is a Korean brand. He said being a Korean brand ambassador on the global stage makes him proud. He said American soccer is growing.
