KBS2's entertainment program `The Men Who Live' reported Ryu Hyun-jin's appearance on the 21st.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to the domestic league in 12 years after signing the highest contract ever in the KBO league with the Hanwha Eagles of 17 billion won for eight years in February, is drawing attention by choosing 'Salimnam' as his first entertainment show since returning to Korea.
Ryu Hyun-jin's return to the domestic league for the first time in 12 years led to the KBO's success, surpassing 10 million spectators for the first time this year, and the Hanwha Eagles, where Ryu Hyun-jin belongs, set a new record for the most sold-out in KBO history.
For a meaningful meeting with baseball fans who gave great support, Ryu Hyun-jin confirmed his appearance on 'Salimnam' at the end of the season. As 'Salimnam' is his first entertainment show since returning to Korea, Ryu Hyun-jin will show the daily life of a special major leaguer that has not been revealed anywhere. In particular, Ryu Hyun-jin, who has a remarkable career in baseball, is expected to meet viewers' expectations by showing 'First Observation Entertainment', 'First Family Appearance', and 'First Daejeon House Revealed'.
Through 'Salimnam', Ryu Hyun-jin will reveal not only the simple break he had after the end of the season, but also his husband and father, who are faithful to his family, without filtering. You can also see Ryu Hyun-jin, the chairman of the board who is serious about the operation of the Ryu Hyun-jin Foundation, which was established to foster baseball youth and develop Korean baseball.
