There are two grammar points used here ๋ก, ๋ฉด์. ๋ก is used in many different ways; here with โ๋์กฐ๋ก ์๋ฉธํ๋คโ ๋์กฐ means a rough time and ์๋ฉธํ๋ค means to destroy oneself so with the grammar ๋ก here it shows a โmethodโ. It shows that the way they are โdestroying themselvesโ is there the troubled times stated before the ๋์กฐ. So the phrase โํค์ ์ฅ์ฌ์์ด ๊ณ ์ง์ ์ ๊ตฌ ๋์กฐ๋ก ์๋ฉธํ๋คโ can be translated to โKiwoomโs Jang Jae Yeong destroys himself through the trouble of his chronic poor ball controlโ.
The second grammar used is ๋ฉด์ which is used to show to actions or events happen at the same time. So with "ํ๋ฉด์ ์ ํ์ ์ ๋ฐ ๋ง๋๊ฒฐ์ ์ผ์ฐ๊ฐ์น ๋ง๋ฌด๋ฆฌ๋๋ค" it can be easily translated to "while/as [__ action} the teams early showdown comes to an end"
And altogether it becomes "Kiwoomโs Jang Jae Yeong destroys himself through the trouble of his chronic poor ball control while the teams' early showdown comes to an end" To make it more natural it can turn to "Kiwoomโs Jang Jae Yeong gets himself in trouble with his chronic poor ball control while the teams' early showdown comes to an end"
Again there are 2 main grammars used here, ๋ก, ใด ๊ฒ. In the phrase "1์ฌย ํ ๊น์ฑ์ค์ย ๊ธฐ์ต๋ฒํธ๋ก" ๋ก is being used to say how the next sections of the sentence aka next events came to be to it could be translated to "After 1 out, Kim Seong Yoon's sudden bunt was" or you could "After 1 out, through Kim Seong Yoon's sudden bunt".
Going to the next section โ๋ด๋ณด๋ธ ๊ฒ ๋๋ ์ค์ ์ ์จ์์ด์๋ค.โ We can see the grammar ใด ๊ฒ in the word ๋ด๋ณด๋ธ ๊ฒ. ใด ๊ฒ is actually a shorthand version of a common grammar point ๋/ใด ๊ฒ์ด which is a verb-> noun grammar, when spoken quickly the ๊ฒ์ด can sound like ๊ฒ instead so it is often shortened this way. This changes the verb ๋ด๋ณด๋ด๋ค from โto let outโ to โthing that let outโ or โletting outโ so here we can see it is being used to help describe the noun at the end of the sentence ์จ์ or seed, taking out the things in I between for now ๋ด๋ณด๋ธ ๊ฒ ์จ์์ด์๋ค can be translated to the seed that let out__ adding the middle back in โ๋๋ ์ค์ ์โ means a great deal of lose points/ runs, together it becomes โ the seed that let out a great deal of runs.
And all together it becomes โAfter one out through Kim Seong Yoonโs sudden bunt was the seed that let out a great deal of runsโ and making that sound more natural we can write it as โAfter one out Kim Seong Yoonโs Sudden Bunt was the seed to allow a great deal of runs.โ
This sentence has a very interesting and not very commonly talked about grammar point of using a ์/์ด verb ending in the middle of a sentence. It has many uses but here it is used to show a reason or cause of the next sequence of actions and/or events.
We can split this into two sections, the first will be "์ฌ๊ตฌย 1๊ฐ์ย ๋ณผ๋ทย 4๊ฐ๋ฅผ ์ฐ๊ฑฐํธ ํ์ฉํ ์ฅ์ฌ์" which used the verb-> noun grammar again with ํ์ฉํ which is being used to alter the noun ์ฅ์ฌ์. This can be translated to "Jang Jae Yeong, who allowed 1 walk based on hitting another player and 4 walks based on balls..." As you can see "์ฌ๊ตฌย 1๊ฐ์ย ๋ณผ๋ทย 4๊ฐ๋ฅผ ์ฐ๊ฑฐํธ ํ์ฉํ" which comes before the noun, ์ฅ์ฌ์, is used to describe it.
The next section "์ฅ์ฌ์์ย ๊ธ๊ธฐ์ผย 9๋ฒย ๊น์ง์ฐฌ์ ๋จธ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋งํ ์๋ ํด์ฅ๋๋ค" can seem daunting at first but can also be broken into two parts "9๋ฒย ๊น์ง์ฐฌ์ ๋จธ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋งํ" and "์๋ ํด์ฅ๋๋ค". Firstly ๋งํ๋ค means to hit so "9๋ฒย ๊น์ง์ฐฌ์ ๋จธ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋งํ" is translated to "Hit 9th batter Kim Ji Chan in the head" 9๋ฒ being used to show what place Kim Ji Chan is in within the lineup (ํ์ ) "์๋ ํด์ฅ๋๋ค" simply means "automatically got sent off" adding it all together with ๊ธ๊ธฐ์ผ, which means at last or after all, turns to "Jang Jae Yeong at last hit 9th batter Kim Ji Chan in the head automatically sending him off"
Altogether it is "Jang Jae Yeong, who allowed 1 walk based on hitting another player and 4 walks based on balls, at last, hit 9th batter Kim Ji Chan in the head automatically sending him off" However you can change the 'at last' to "then' to should more natural making it: Jang Jae Yeong, who allowed 1 walk based on hitting another player and 4 walks based on balls, then hit 9th batter Kim Ji Chan in the head automatically sending him off.
In this last sentence, there are two grammar points connecting three sections of this sentence. The first seen is ๋ง์ which is used to say even or even though. It is always negative and often means this noun it's connected to is the last option. In the sentence "๊ธํ ๋ง์ด๋์ ์ค๋ฅธ ํ์๋ฏผ๋ง์ " it's used to show the meaning of "Even when/with Ha Yeong Min coming to the mound quickly".
The next grammar is ๋ฉฐ which is used the same way ad ๋ฉด์ which was previously explained. Here we see "๊นํ์ค์๊ฒ 2ํ์ ย ์ ์ํ๋ฅผ ์ป์ด๋ง์ผ๋ฉฐ" without the grammar turns to "Kim Hyeon Jun hits 2 timely run hits" but with the grammar and it explains that the last section "ํค์์ 1ํ์๋งย ํ์์ผ์ย 6์ ์ ํ๋ฉํ๋ค" is happening at the same time.
"ํค์์ 1ํ์๋งย ํ์์ผ์ย 6์ ์ ํ๋ฉํ๋ค" translates to " Kiwoom allows the whole batting lineup to bat and 6 runs in only the first inning" so with adding the part beforehand it becomes "Kim Hyeon Jun hits 2 timely run hits while/ and Kiwoom allows the whole batting lineup to bat and 6 runs in only the first inning".
Finally adding all the parts together it becomes "Even when/with Ha Yeong Min coming to the mound quickly, Kim Hyeon Jun hits 2 timely run hits while/ and Kiwoom allows the whole batting lineup to bat and 6 runs in only the first inning"
Kiwoomโs Jang Jae Yeong gets himself in trouble with his chronic poor ball control while the teamโs early showdown comes to an end. After one out Kim Seong Yoonโs sudden bunt was the seed that allowed a great deal of runs. Jang Jae Yeong, who allowed one walk based on hitting a player and 4 walks based on balls in a row then hit Kim Ji Chan in the head, was automatically sent off. Even when Ha Yeong Min quickly came to the mound Kim Hyeon Jun hit a 2-run hit and Kiwoom allowed the whole line up to bat and 6 runs in only the first inning.

Translating KBO Articles for Vocabulary and Grammar
Today we will be going through ์ก๊ฒฝ๋ชจ ๊ธฐ์'s article and translating it. We will also find some key vocabulary, today's theme is baseball terms specifically, and some important grammar points!
Tomorrow I will be selecting 1 paragraph to do a sentence by sentence complete breakdown as well as sharing my notes over the full article to show how I tranlate.
๋ฉฐ- used to say two actions or situations are happening simultaneously
์์ด- used with a noun before it to say "without ---"
During the weekend the Samsung Lions returned their winning rate to 40% & started to escape last place. 9th place Kiwoom Heroes, who lost the nation's ace to the LG Twins in a trade, finished 3 games with no wins and their head low.
๋ฉด์- used to say two actions or situations are happening simultaneously (same as ๋ฉฐ)
On the 30th in the Seoul Gocheok Skydome Samsung won 10-6 in the game against Kiwoom. Veteran Park Jeong Hyein responds to the cohesiveness of the driven batters who scored 9 runs early in the game, with 2 runs while completing a winning series with 2 wins and 1 draw. Through the 3 games, the gap between the teams decreased.
ใด ๊ฒ- the same grammar as ๋/์/ใด ๊ฒ but when ๊ฒ is combined with ์ด it will often be shortened to ๊ฒ, there for ใด ๊ฒ is a verb-> noun form
์/์ด- there are many uses to having ์/์ด in the middle of a sentence, here it is used to show a reason or cause of a situation stated after
Kiwoom's Jang Jae Yeong gets himself in trouble with his chronic poor ball control while the team's early showdown comes to an end. After one out Kim Seong Yoon's sudden bunt was the seed that allowed a great deal of runs. Jang Jae Yeong, who allowed one walk based on hitting a player and 4 walks based on balls in a row then hit Kim Ji Chan in the head, was automatically sent off.
๋ง์ - used to say "even if __ happens/ exists ___ still ___"
์๋- used to mean "as well in/during __"
Even when Ha Yeong Min quickly came to the mound Kim Hyeon Jun hit a 2-run hit and Kiwoom allowed the whole line up to bat and 6 runs in only the first inning. Samsung's lineup's fire didn't stop even in the 2nd inning. Ryu Ji Hyeok's right-handed hit with Kang Han Wul's 3-base run and the opponent's mistake caused 3 more runs.
๋ ์ด์- more, ์ด์ is often used to say beyond a said amount.
์น๋ถ- match, game
ํจ- loss
On the mound Park Jeong Hyeon steadily got runners out but with their crisis management Kiwoom stopped their scoreless run. In the 6th inning, Kiwoom recovered 2 runs, and under the cover of/using Samsung's bullpen turmoil they got 4 more runs but there was no more to chase. Samsung, who through the previous day's win of 7-2 repaired their win rate to 40%, found a win this day ending July's 18 games with 9 wins, 1 draw, and 8 losses.
This is the first time since last April that the monthly win rate turned to 50%. It was the will and power of the batters that lead the hype. From the previous day, Samsung's team's monthly batting rate of .289 moved them to 1st in the league. On this day as well everyone, excluding Kim Ji Chan, recorded a hit.
ํ์ - run, based on the batter bringing runners home (RBI)
Grammar
๋ง- used to say "only __"
Kim Seong Yoon, Kang Min Ho, and Kang Han Wul exploded with multiple hits, and Lee Jeok Sang and Ryu Ji Hyeok also got 2 runs and 2 RBI. Only the bullpen weakness was not solved on this day. After Park Jeong Hyeon Kim Tae Hoon, who overcame crisis in the 6th inning with one ball, only after 2 outs in the 7th inning, got 4 batters out in a row bringing their own demise.
๋๊ฐ๋ฅผ ํกํกํ ์น๋ ๋ค- a phrase that literally means "to pay the cost/ price" However similar to the English phrase it means to suffer the consequences of an action
๊ณ ๋- this is used to add a new phrase tied closely with the first phrase. It does not have to be contradictory, here when they say "๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์ผ๋ก ์ฌ์ ์๊ฒ ์ด๊ธฐ๊ณ ๋ ๋จ์ ๊ฒฝ๊ธฐ์ ํ์น์กฐ ์ฐ๊ท๋ฏผ๊น์ง ํฌ์ ๋๋ค." it can be translated to "even though they were winning" or "while they were winning with ease".
Even though they are winning with ease at the end of the game they put in fierce winner Wu Gyu Min. Kiwoom, who sent LG Choi Won Tae who has a 6-4 win ratio and 3.25 ERA, paid the price. In the previous 2 games, the starting pitcher was taken out early which was the flow that lead to the stream of losses. On the contrary, the batters including Lee Ju Hyeon hit 12 hits, however, this wasn't enough to reverse the early tilted game.
The grammar here is an important part to understanding. ์๊น is used to ask or give an opinion on a topic, so to start out in the article it seems they are giving an opinion. Working backwards we see the phrase ์ง๊ฐ๋ณ๋์ด ์ผ์ด๋ ์ ์๋ค, breaking it down to grammar and vocabulary we have: ์ง๊ฐ๋ณ๋์ด ์ผ์ด๋๋ค, and ใน ์ ์๋ค. ์ผ์ด๋๋ค here is used different than is often seen, most know it as โto riseโ or โto get upโ but it can also mean โto occurโ here combined with the grammar ใน ์ ์๋ค, to be able, it means something along the lines of โ[is it] possible for a change of perception about _โ
Looking at the first half of the sentence we see ์ผ์ฑ 2๋ฃจ์ ์๋ฆฌ์, which means โSamsung [lions] 2 baseman seat/spotโ Together we can see it means โ[is it] possible for a change in perception about The Samsung [lions] 2 baseman spot.โ
Again the grammar is important to understand in this sentence so to start well quickly explain โ์/๋ ์ฌ์ด(์)โ. It is used to show two situations or actions in which the second clause is caused by or affected by the first. Now well start with ๊น์ง์ฐฌ์ด ์๋น๋ก ์ ๋ฅผ ๋จน๋, ์๋น๋ก uses the ๋ก grammar which has many meanings, here it is showing what is โ์ ๋ฅผ ๋จน๋คโ therefor this part means โKim Ji Chan is having a hard time with defenseโ .
Looking at the next part ๊น๋์ง์ด ํ์ ๋ด๊ณ ์๋ค, here we see the grammar ๊ณ ์๋ค, which is similar to โingโ in English. ํ์ ๋ด๋ค is a harder phrase to translate naturally into English however ํ means energy or strength and ๋ด๋ค to make ___ rise or come out, together it literally translate to โ__ makes energy come outโ but its more often understood as โto have energyโ. All together this section means โ Kim Dong Jin has energy and strength.โ
All together it means โWhile Kim Ji Chan has issues/trouble with Defense Kim Dong Jin has the energy and strength.โ
This sentence is a bit simpler. To start ๊ทธ๋ฌ๋ means โbutโ or โneverthelessโ and ํ๋ฐฐ is a junior. In Korean culture this can be someone younger or someone who has worked in your company/field for less time, the opposite being ์ ๋ฐฐ. All together this means โNevertheless, Kim Dong Jin thought of his junior.โ
Putting it all together gets you: โ [Is it] possible for a change in perception about The Samsung [lions] 2 baseman spot. While Kim Ji Chan struggles with defense, Kim Dong Jin has the energy and strength. Nevertheless Kim Dong Jin thinks of his junior.โ
