In the third episode of the baseball entertainment program 『Fireworks』, which was released on Studio C1's official YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on the 19th, the opening ceremony of the Fireworks Fighters with the new member and the unyielding opening match against Gyeongbuk High School were held.
The highlight of this day's broadcast was by far the results of the 2025 tryout. The expectations of the original members for the players who have newly joined through fierce competition have risen. Kim Jae-ho from Doosan Bears and Park Chan-hyung from independent club Hwaseong Coreyo, Kang Dong-woo (Hwasong Coreyo) as an outfielder, Kim Min-beom as a catcher from Dong-A University, and Park Joon-young and Kim Kyung-mook (Hwasong Coreyo) as pitchers. Mun Kyo-won, a shortstop at Inha University who was judged on hold in the stove league, changed his position to an outfielder and got on board and was applauded.
Later at the opening ceremony, general manager Jang Si-won officially announced the team name 'Fire Fighters'. He expressed his emotion by saying, `I hope it will be a spark for everyone who starts baseball, who is playing baseball, who loves baseball.'
However, the warmth was briefly mentioned, and Jung Geun-woo and Jung Sung-hoon were mentioned as new captain candidates, and there was a strange tension. Park Yong-taek was back in charge as both of them declined to take their seats, but his Hawaii interview "90% winning percentage" remarks rattled the scene. Lee Dae-ho laughed, saying, `Suddenly, I want to be a captain.' In the end, the target winning rate was adjusted to '70', and the atmosphere became peaceful again.
A few days later, the players gathered at Gocheok Sky Dome for the opening game of the 2025 season. The opponent is Kyungpook High School, a traditional powerhouse. The name of new shortstop Park Chan-hyung was put in the lineup of the first game, raising expectations. Veteran Yoo Hee-kwan was in charge of the starting mound. He was in crisis by allowing an infield hit to the first batter in the first inning, but Jung Sung-hoon and Lim Sang-woo's stable defense shone and finished the inning neatly.
Fire Fighters' counterattack soon began. Lim Sang-woo hit a hit in the first inning against Park Chu-young of Gyeongbuk High School to boost the atmosphere. However, Park Chu-young's check ball soon hit the ribs, causing concern about injury. Lim Sang-woo, who collapsed for a while, got up again and returned to the game with a smile, and the team breathed a sigh of relief.
In the subsequent at-bat, Choi Soo-hyun's hit and steal made the second and third bases with no outs, and Park Yong-taek's timely hit broke out to score the first point. On top of that, the fourth batter Lee Dae-ho's two-run shot and Jung Sung-hoon's hit burst like flames to end the first inning with a score of 4:0.
The third episode of 'fireball' exceeded 100,000 people within seven minutes of its initial release. The highest number of simultaneous viewers was 276,000, recording its own highest number of viewers, breaking a new record every week, proving the dignity of a top-class baseball entertainment program in name and reality. In addition, the third episode has been recording a surprising new record every week, with 1 million views in three hours of its first release, and the second episode, released on the 12th, exceeding 2.98 million views (as of May 19).
