Gocheok dome squid game craze… Tae-in Won as ‘Manager’ and Jun-hyeok Yang as ‘Robot Younghee’
Position collapse, pitchers’ home runs ‘pop’
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Chang-yong = In the off-season, professional baseball players who participated in Yang Jun-hyeok’s charity baseball tournament presented fans with a stage like a comprehensive gift set.
The ‘2021 Hope Plus Charity Baseball Tournament with Hymune’ hosted by Yang Jun-hyeok Baseball Foundation was held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the afternoon of the 4th.
Major league players such as Choi Ji-man (Tampa Bay Rays) and Park Hyo-jun (Pittsburgh Pirates), Lee Jung-hoo (Kiwoom Heroes), Kang Baek-ho (kt wiz), Won Tae-in (Samsung Lions), Ko Woo-seok (LG Twins), Jung Eun-won (Hanwha Eagles), etc. Domestic star players took part in a charity baseball tournament to help low-income families.
As if to appease the regret that it could not be held last year due to the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), this year’s competition was prepared with more abundant events than ever before.
The players properly parodied the Netflix drama ‘Squid Game’, which caused a worldwide craze, and provided a variety of attractions.
Kim Min-soo (Samsung) wore a white wig and green sweatshirt number 001 to transform into ‘Oil Man’.
Won Tae-in appeared in the ‘Squid Game’ manager’s pink jumpsuit and wearing a mask with a square shape, and said, “I can’t see the ball”, causing laughter.
The highlight was the makeup of the organizer, Yang Jun-hyeok, as ‘Young-hee’.
Commissioner Yang perfectly dressed up as the ‘Young-hee’ robot from ‘Squid Game’ to reproduce the ‘Mugunghwa Flower’ game.
The surprise home run show of pitchers also shone. KIA Tigers’ closing pitcher Jung Hae-young threw a three-run for the left in the first and second bases of the 4th inning.
At the bottom of the 5th inning, Tae-in Won hit a two-run shot that exceeded the height of right fielder at second base.
In addition, Chan-gyu Lim also stomped a home run on the ball that split the right-middle in the beginning of the 6th inning, completing an Inside the Park home run and cheering.
Chan-gyu Lim was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Tournament (MVP) after his continuous performance, such as following the batting form of his close senior Son Ah-seop.
Lee Jung-hoo showed off his genius batting skills by changing to the batting form of Kang Baek-ho as well as his senior Park Byung-ho.
After completing his fourth hit with Kang Baek-ho’s hitting form, Lee Jung-hoo showed off Kang’s trademark ‘Arrow Ceremony’ and showed sweet ‘chemistry’.
At the end of the 7th inning, the last inning, legends such as Shim Soo-chang, who was working as a commentator after retiring, Jun-hyeok Yang, Hae-young Ma, and Jong-beom Lee, entered the plate one after another, creating a strong nostalgia.
In the match, Jong Beom-Shin’s team won 16-15 over Yang-Shin’s team.
Choi Ji-man from Yangshin Team, but Park Hyo-jun from the new team, gave another fun with a unique start-up match between Korean major leaguers.
