Everyone laughed at Mookie Betts' wit. Kim Hye-sung is adapting to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a friendly team atmosphere. The Dodgers released a short video on the team's official SNS account on the 17th (Korea time). It's a defensive training video of the infielders, and the main characters in it were Betts and Kim Hye-sung.
Betts heated up the atmosphere for Kim Hye-sung, a star in the KBO League, but a rookie in the Major League. When Kim Hye-sung began training to catch a ground ball, he began the representative cheering of the Dodgers crowd, 'Let's Go Dodgers', as if he was actually trying to convey the on-site atmosphere of Dodger Stadium. Everyone laughed, and not only Kim Hye-sung but also Tommy Edman, who was training together, smiled.
In the midst of cheering, Betts ran again, gave high-fives, and expressed intimacy when he saw Kim Hye-sung, who finished throwing the ground ball well to the first base. After completing defensive training, Freddie Freeman and other teammates also smiled and applauded Kim Hye-sung. Kim Hye-sung was still awkward, but he was trying to get close to his teammates while being as polite as possible.
This is not the only thing that helps Kim Hye-sung adjust to the atmosphere. Shohei Ohtani, a member of the same agency, expressed intimacy by greeting Kim Hye-sung in Korean whenever she saw him even before signing the contract. In a short video released by the Dodgers on the 12th, Ohtani, dressed comfortably, was watching Kim Hye-sung, who runs short distances at full speed and trains on base, with a smile. He approached Kim Hye-sung with a big smile as to whether he was impressed by her running at full speed, and immediately said in Korean "Cool". Kim Hye-sung smiled shyly and replied, "You are cool, too.", and the two shared a deep hug. It was a scene where all the people in charge of Kim Hye-sung's interpretation burst into a pleasant laugh together.
They are major league stars who help rookie infielder Kim Hye-sung from Korea adjust to the atmosphere.
