Studio C1's 'Flaming Baseball 2' Premieres Amid Legal Battle with JTBC

Studio C1's baseball variety show 'Flaming Baseball 2' is set to premiere its first episode. Previously, in December, the Seoul Central District Court accepted JTBC's injunction against Studio C1, prohibiting the production, sale, and distribution of 'Flaming Baseball'.

On the 4th, the first episode of 'Flaming Baseball 2' will be unveiled. Aspiring players for the Flaming Fighters team are striving to meet the expectations of Coach Kim Sung-geun.

As individual tests continue over several days, Coach Kim Sung-geun is delighted to see a first baseman applicant arrive at the field. General Manager Jang Si-won informs the applicant that only one candidate survived the first baseman document screening, bringing a smile to Coach Kim's face. The applicant, who has earned Coach Kim's trust, wonders aloud, "What do I need to show to pass?" before warming up and impressing everyone with powerful hitting and graceful defense. The anticipation builds to see who this top-tier first baseman candidate is.

Meanwhile, an impromptu baseball clinic by Kim Sung-geun takes place on the field. He calls aside a player who showed potential with a fastball clocked at 145.6 km/h, offering heartfelt advice, and conducts special training by analyzing each hitter's performance. Notably, he tells one applicant, "Come back tomorrow," hinting at a retest, which brings a smile. Will these players, caught in Coach Kim's inescapable radar, receive acceptance letters to join the Flaming Fighters?

Additionally, seasoned baseball veterans Park Yong-taek and Jung Geun-woo engage in a pride-fueled showdown. Park Yong-taek, donning the new LG Twins uniform, lists his accolades to assert dominance, while Jung Geun-woo, in his national team uniform, is equally determined to win. The two legends even engage in an unexpected running race, showcasing their undying competitive spirit.

The first episode of 'Flaming Baseball 2' can be watched at 8 PM on Studio C1's official YouTube channel.
