A high school student who was injured while helping a victim of the 'Jang Yun-gi case' was recognized as a meritorious person. The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on the 22nd that it held a deliberation on the 2023 Sanctions and Rewards Committee and decided to bestow the Meritorious Persons Medal on Lee, a high school student in his second year. Lee was injured on his head and face while subduing the perpetrator, Jang Yun-gi, on March 29, 2022, while helping a female victim who was being attacked by him in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The Ministry of Health and Welfare explained that Lee's actions correspond to Article 1, Item 5 of the Meritorious Persons Reward Act, which states that 'when a citizen saves a person in danger, or prevents a disaster or crime, and is injured or dies', and thus he was recognized as a meritorious person. The Meritorious Persons Medal is one of the highest honors given by the state to those who have rendered distinguished service to the nation and society. The medal will be presented to Lee in a commendation ceremony at the Government Complex in Sejong on the 25th. Meanwhile, Jang Yun-gi was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for the murder of a female college student in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on March 29, 2022.

A ball used in the infamous 'Hand of God' goal by Diego Maradona at the 1986 World Cup is to be sold at auction. The ball, which was used in the match between Argentina and England on June 22, 1986, is expected to fetch around $1.2 million (£920,000). Maradona's Argentina won the game 2-1. The auction, which will take place on November 16, is being held by the British auction house, Graham Budden Sports Memorabilia. The 'Hand of God' goal was one of the most contentious moments in football history. Maradona punched the ball into the England goal, deceiving the referee into awarding a goal. The goal helped Argentina to a 2-1 win over England, and they went on to win the World Cup that year. The ball is being sold by a former linesman who was on duty during the match. The linesman, who wishes to remain anonymous, has owned the ball since the match. The 'Hand of God' goal and a second goal scored by Maradona in the same match, which was voted the greatest goal in World Cup history in 2002, are still talked about today.
