Yang Joon-hyuk is opening up about his impoverished childhood and his desperate passion for baseball.
According to the production team, Yang Joon-hyuk will honestly share the struggles he faced during his childhood before he was able to start playing baseball.
Recalling the past, Yang Joon-hyuk said, “I asked my parents to let me play baseball, but they were strongly against it. I even tried to persuade them by saying I would beg in the middle of the city just to be allowed to play.”
He added a touching detail, sharing, “My mother supported me by working as a housekeeper, cleaning motels, and selling pickled radish. Because of that, I played baseball with everything I had.”
In response, special MC Kim Tae-kyun mentioned, “I heard that whenever senior Yang Joon-hyuk received record bonuses, he shared them with his juniors like pocket money.” Jun Hyun-moo reportedly expressed his admiration, wondering, “Isn’t he basically Mansour?”
The episode will air on the 17th at 4:40 PM.
