The baseball industry is in turmoil because of JTBC's broadcasting companies and baseball entertainment programs 'strongest baseball'. JTBC properly touched the hearts of the baseball community in the process of recruiting former KT Wiz coach Lee Jong-beom as a manager, saying that it would make a program of the same format to compete with the members of the existing 'strongest baseball' due to copyright infringement.
An active coach playing the season was criticized for abandoning the team to appear on entertainment programs for any reason. He belatedly explained that it was a choice for the development of Korean baseball and the future of his juniors, further igniting the controversy.
Although JTBC did not know what conditions it had, the fact that the production team, which is making programs for baseball development, flirted with the coach in the season, was a huge shock. This is because, while shouting for baseball development, the core was only focused on the success or failure of their programs, and acted in violation of the professional world's commercial intentions. In an explanatory interview with a media outlet, CP Sung Chi-kyung, the director of production, said, `When the first half of the KBO League is over and participates in the broadcast, it will be halfway through the filming. Then, the picture is not pretty on the air,' he said, further surprising the angry baseball officials. He turned the baseball board into a mess because he was paying attention to the broadcast picture.

It has been widely said that retired stars who have already failed to step into 'fire baseball' have been confirmed to join 'strongest baseball'. Among them is a former coach of club A.
Coach B of A club suddenly volunteered to resign about a month ago. Regardless of whether they are in the first or second division, it is very rare for a coach to leave on his own will in the midst of the season. Usually, any decision is made after the season is over.
There is no special reason, but club officials were surprised to suddenly say they would leave the team. Coach B did not bend his will, citing various personal reasons such as health and his future.
But soon the rumor began to spread. to join the 'strongest baseball team' Club officials were shocked by rumors that the coach, who cited health problems, was building his body to join the entertainment show. However, it was not clear whether he would really join or not, but it was disappointing to hear that Coach B would also join in line with the former coach Lee Jong-beom's situation.
I'm not 100% sure if he threw his coaching job to join the 'strongest baseball' because there's no evidence. However, in various circumstances, it is undeniable that it is very likely. If this is true, the anger in the professional baseball community over 'strongest baseball' will inevitably grow.
