Korean baseball legend Oh Seung-hwan, known as the 'Stone Buddha' and 'Final Boss', is set to join JTBC's variety show 'Yes Man' as a new member on October 21 at 7:10 PM. With a career record of 549 saves across Korea, the US, and Japan, Oh is expected to showcase his straightforward wit and hidden variety show talents from the very first episode.
Oh Seung-hwan Faces Off with Kim Nam-il and Yoon Suk-min?
Having retired after the 2025 season, Oh Seung-hwan makes a striking entrance on 'Yes Man' with his bold remarks. He provocatively tells Kim Nam-il, "There's nothing to talk about except bats and nightlife," to which Kim retorts, "Weren't you a catcher?" sparking a tense exchange. Fellow baseball player Yoon Suk-min also tries to assert his seniority by saying, "On 'Yes Man', I'm the senior," but Oh quickly takes control of the situation with, "Did I ask to be treated like a senior?"
Oh Seung-hwan's Surprising Past Revealed
The episode also unveils Oh Seung-hwan's surprising past. During the 'Talk Show' segment, a heated debate on whether sports is about talent or effort unfolds. Ha Seung-jin emphasizes the role of innate physicality, sharing, "I was born weighing 5.6kg," and "When I used a children's trampoline, my bottom would touch the ground." When coaches inquire about Oh's childhood, he shocks everyone by admitting, "I grew up like a girl," and "I wore skirts and braided my hair."
Kim Nam-il, who prides himself on being a hard-working athlete, also makes headlines with his comments. He reflects on Park Ji-sung, saying, "I've watched him since he was young. He seemed ordinary at first, but he surpassed talent with effort," highlighting the importance of hard work. Seo Jang-hoon, puzzled by the implication that Park lacked talent, is humorously countered by Lee Hyung-taek, who clarifies, "That's Kim Nam-il's personal opinion," bringing laughter to the studio.
Oh Seung-hwan, another advocate of hard work, reveals his secret training methods. Dominating the grip strength test, he shares his unique training techniques using everyday items, which he recommended to teammates during his time in Japan, gaining significant media attention. The secret behind the training that made him Korea's top closer piques curiosity.
