Actor Kim Seung-woo has faced the turning point of his life. He became a real baseball player, not an actor crazy about baseball.
He is the owner of the 22-year-old celebrity baseball team 'Playboy'. In the past, Kang Dong-won shared with Jang Dong-gun, Jo In-sung, Joo Jin-mo, Park Seo-joon, and Hwang Jung-min, and Yoon Hyun-min, Lee Jong-hyuk, Yoon Park, Oh Man-seok, and Ahn Gil-gang are still playing.
But now Kim Seung-woo is the president-elect of the Little Baseball League. Kim Seung-woo was elected as the 7th chairman of the Little Baseball Federation on the 18th, beating current chairman Yoo Seung-an.
There were a lot of congratulatory messages from acquaintances who heard the news the day before. He said "I've never done an election. I haven't even been able to be the class president before, but "I've finally become a real baseball player. I'm happy," he said in a jubilant interview.
His wife's appearance was everywhere in baseball's memory, as he was famous for being a "lover". I first thought of my honeymoon 19 years ago.
"I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon...The father and the little boy played catch. My wife (Kim Nam-joo) said. I want to raise my child like that, too. And I also remember watching the Little Baseball World Series with my wife when my son came around my waist (6 years old). Korea won then. It was so touching. 'I wish my son could play baseball with his American friends wearing the national flag like thatI thought '."

Kim Seung-woo, who thought deeply about taking over the professional baseball team when the Hyundai Unicorns were drifting away. This is why he is showing particularly strong confidence in sponsorship to revitalize Little Baseball. Beyond Little Baseball, he prided himself on being the cornerstone of Korean baseball.
"Professional baseball reached 10 million spectators, but didn't it lose to Taiwan in the Premier 12?" Even in the WBC, the performance continues to be poor. I wondered what I could do for Korean baseball. I think I can be of help like this. Little baseball is the future of Korean baseball and the starting point of major leaguers."

He was also well aware of the pending issues in Little Baseball. One example is the double registration problem of Little Baseball and the first year of middle school, which he suggested as his pledge No. 1. Kim Seung-woo has repeatedly promised to revitalize international exchanges with the U.S., Japan and Taiwan.
"Little baseball goes back to the U.S. schedule. A new semester begins there in September, so our Little Baseball players will be double-registered in the middle school (Korea Baseball Association) and the Little Baseball Federation in the first semester of the first year. It costs double, and elementary school teams lack players, but they can't even play in middle school games. But don't you think a little baseball player can play for another semester. One game is more precious to a young player than 10 practice times and 100 practice times. I want to solve it in a way that helps everyone."

But Kim Seung-woo "When you go to Rome, you have to follow Roman law. For me, the League is Rome. I'll keep everything in line with the federation's schedule," he said with a smile. Filming will take place once a week and every Sunday. He stressed that `I will focus on baseball except on shooting days.'
Above all, his promise to mobilize all of his 34-year-old connections for the development of Little Baseball is the most impressive. He said "My shoulders have become heavy" did not hide the sense of responsibility.
"I'm already getting a call from all over the place after the article was published. Everyone is as happy as their job. The people I've built up, the image is my asset. There may be problems that are difficult to solve with baseball players alone. From local governments to the National Assembly to the government, I will play hard on my feet."
