You lost because you filmed a drama?

Jamsil Stadium on the 31st, when the game between the LG Twins and the Kiwoom Heroes was held. It was busier inside and outside the ground than at any other time before the game. This is because the filming of the new drama took place. It is a drama in which popular actor Lee Jung-jae is the main character, and it was the day when Lee Jung-jae, a celebrity in the play, filmed the setting of throwing the first pitch at Jamsil Stadium.

From the point of view of the drama production company, there will be a desire to shoot a realistic scene, and the club also has a promotional effect that is exposed through the drama, so filming could be a "win-win" for each other from the standpoint of not damaging the team.




Since it was the first pitch setting, the shooting was held for about 20 minutes from 5:20 p.m., 40 minutes before the start of the game at 6 p.m. It was only then that the atmosphere could be ripe to some extent after entering the audience.

However, on this day, LG lost to Kiwoom at the bottom. The defeat eliminated the challenge of the 13th consecutive Winning Series. However, it was said that the defeat was due to the filming of the drama, and that the players were not properly trained before the game because they were filming the drama. What is the truth.

Players conduct official training in the order of home-away before the game. Usually, away team training ends an hour before the start of the game. LG players finished their training early, and the LG club made a formal request to Kiwoom players to advance their training a little. Kiwoom club gladly signed the OK sign.




After the training, Lee Jung-jae and other leading actors came out to the ground around 5 p.m. Lee Jung-jae held the microphone as a representative and delivered a message of understanding to the team and fans. He said he would finish the shoot as soon as possible so as not to disturb the team and fans.

The problem is that among the players of both teams, players with personal routines such as stretching and tossing come to the ground 30 to 40 minutes before the start of the game. Some of the fielders practice batting toward the back of the infield net. When junior players throw it, it slightly raises the level of contact.

In fact, no training should be hindered by external conditions ahead of the game. So, except for the space of about 3m behind the infield catcher's net to cover the angle of filming the drama, players were allowed to freely train for toss batting. The players were informed in advance that filming would take place and that training was possible, but when they came out on the ground, they asked the person in charge where to train. After confirming that there was no problem with the training, everyone performed routine training normally. If there was always a player who trained on the spot, the player could have broken his routine, but would there have been a player who would say that as an excuse for losing or sluggish the game.

An official at the scene said, `Usually, during filming of a movie or drama, the staff's 'gapjil' is often controversial, but the filming team was clearly worried that it would interfere with the team or fans even though it was a short shoot.'

The game began with Lee Jung-jae's first pitch, who shouted "LG Fighting", and LG played a close game until the end but lost." If we had to consider LG's loss, it was a game in which Kiwoom's starting Alcantara failed to target. Alcantara's ball power was so good, and on the contrary, LG starter Son Joo-young shook, and the atmosphere of the early game moved toward Kiwoom.
