Commentator Kim Tae-kyun prepared a time to give young children a sense of accomplishment.

Commentator Kim Tae-kyun held a special short-term sports course for 33 young children in the jurisdiction at Arpia Baseball Stadium in Yongin on Saturday the 16th.

The event was hosted by Yongin City and Yongin Sports Council for the Disabled, and was sponsored by Gyeonggi Province, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the National Sports Promotion Fund and the Lottery Committee.



Most of the children with no baseball experience participated in the lecture and had a precious time to hold gloves and bats for the first time.

The course started with catch ball, defense, and batting training, attracting children's interest and curiosity. At the end, the mini-baseball game was held to give the participants joy and a sense of accomplishment. In particular, Oh Sun-jin and former Hanwha Eagles Jinyoung Kim participated in the coaching team to create a more meaningful time.



Meanwhile, Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yongin Special City also visited the site on this day to encourage participants and coaches and show interest in revitalizing youth sports and willingness to support them.

Following the '2nd Kim Tae-kyun Baseball Camp' held in Hongseong last time, Kim Tae-kyun is actively working to develop youth baseball and expand the base of baseball at this Yongin event. Commissioner Kim Tae-kyun said it is a great reward to instill dreams and hopes in children through baseball, and that he will continue his activities in the future.
