Pronounced how it looks, “Jung Ho”.

Strangely the last name, Kang, is pronounced “Gong”.
Good hitter with decent power, but the Pirates don’t need this kind of distraction. Also he was questioned last summer about an alleged sexual assault in Chicago. The woman who filed the complaint mysteriously dropped out of sight.

ONE DUI in the US and you can't travel to Canada.

Actually, I have been told that a DUI conviction in the states is enough to deny you entrance into Canada. As to the firearms, last time I drove into Canada I was asked at the entry point near Niagara Falls if I owned any firearms. I looked the guy square in the eye and said “of course, I’m a conservative American, but I left them at home”. Believe it or not, he just smiled and said “welcome to Canada”.

I believe DUI is a criminal offense in Canada, not a motor vehicle violation like it is here in the U.S.

It’s also unclear whether that, or the mere fact of his conviction in Korea, has held up his visa.

I suspect it's nothing more than typical bureaucratic BS.........That crap happens more often than not.

Back in 2006, my company's HR headquarters in Troy, MI, received a call from a British contractor at one of our satellite plants in the southwest objecting to the fact he was issued a termination notice from his plant's HR office. The reason being, his work visa was expiring at the end of the month and he never produced proof that it had been renewed......

His excuse was, and I believe him, he had submitted all the paperwork on time but somewhere along the line the govt. was screwing it up.

In compliance with the law, we had to fire him but we also told him that once he gets his visa in order, we'd take him back if the opportunity was still open.
