'Baseball fanatic' Lee Chan-won met major leaguer Kim Ha-seong.

In KBS2's 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears', which aired on the 12th, Kim Byeong-hyun and Lee Chan-won went to the United States and met major leaguer Kim Ha-seong.

On this day's broadcast, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "What's even more amazing today is that Kim Ha-seong, a Korean major leaguer who is currently playing as a starter for the San Diego Padres, appears." Kim Byung-hyun explained, “I heard that I received love calls from numerous entertainment shows, but I turned them all down.” He added, “I came out because of me.”

Kim Sook asked, "I know that the San Diego team's training facility was originally not open. Isn't this the first entertainment show to be open to the public?" Kim Byeong-hyun replied, "That's right. Because MLB teams pay so high for their players, security is thorough. Meeting and cheering on Korean major leaguers is one of the roles of an MLB ambassador."

Kim Byung-hyun headed to the San Diego team training center to meet Kim Ha-seong. Ha-seong Kim welcomed Byeong-hyun Kim. Ha-seong Kim introduced the team training site. Kim Byeong-hyun, who moved to his seat, handed a gift to Kim Ha-seong. Kim Ha-seong was surprised by Kim Byeong-hyun's gift. Kim Byung-hyun introduced a hot friend to Kim Ha-seong. The hot friend was singer Lee Chan-won.

Lee Chan-won said, "I got to appear on President Kim Byeong-hyun's Eulro. President Kim Byeong-hyun said he was going to the United States as an MLB Korea ambassador. He said he was given permission to bring one of his acquaintances from MLB. At the invitation, I went with him." .

Ha-seong Kim and Chan-won Lee are one year older. Lee Chan-won said, “I will treat you as my brother.” He added, "I wanted to meet you so much. It was my first time coming to the United States. It was my first time here and I thought of New York and LA first, but I wanted to meet you so much that I wanted to give up my first memories and come here."

Lee Chan-won said, "It may be difficult, but isn't it money that compensates for the hardship? It's a huge contract deposit and a huge salary." Kim Byeong-hyun made people laugh by saying, "Don't talk about money too much. It attracts scammers." This is because Kim Byung-hyun had experience of being defrauded of 1 billion won in the past. Ha-seong Kim said he was the first to buy a car after receiving a down payment of 34 billion won.

Kim Ha-seong surprised people by saying, “What I know is that when you came to Korea, you always put a $100 bill in your pocket.” Lee Chan-won added his strength by saying, “I took a piece out of my pocket and gave it a few hundred dollars.”
