KBSN commentator Kim Tae-kyun, the Hanwha Eagles' permanent absentee legend, threw the first pitch at the San Francisco Giants' home game in the U.S. Major League Baseball on the 23rd (Korea time).
The first pitch was one of the Brand Day events organized as part of Hanwha Life Insurance and Life Plus' sponsorship with the San Francisco Giants to raise brand awareness in the U.S. financial market.
Life Plus Brand Day, which began with commentator Kim Tae-kyun's first pitch, was decorated with various K-cheering contents.
A card section event was held using Lee Jung-hoo's number 51 and the Life Plus logo. Lee Jung-hoo Hoodie Jersey with the brand logo was distributed to 20,000 spectators on a first-come, first-served basis.
The cheering song that rang out at each of Lee Jung-hoo's at-bats was "Wishanmongsa", which was rewritten and re-recorded by the band Crying Nut, and the fan club "Furigans" and the crowd sang together, leaving a strong impression on local fans. In the ensuing 'singerong time', the entire audience sang along to the cheering song and shared the heat of K-cheering.
Commentator Kim Tae-kyun said, `I was touched to be able to feel the hot energy of Korean fans and the potential of K-cheering culture on the spot.' `I realized that fans' support for Lee Jung-hoo from all over the world is raising the status of Korean baseball," he said.
