Broadcaster Bae Ji-hyun, the wife of baseball player Ryu Hyun-jin and a former announcer, boasted about the athletic talents of her two children.
On the 10th, a video titled "Hanwha Eagles sister-in-law's first appearance on YouTube! Bae Ji-hyun & Ryu Hyun-jin's secret dating spot before marriage" was uploaded to Bae Ji-hyun's YouTube channel.
On that day, when Bae Ji-hyun asked about her son Jun-sang, "Didn't you say you wanted him to play baseball?" she replied, "I think it would be really good if he plays baseball." He added, "If he does, would you prefer he be a pitcher or a batter?" to which she responded, "I hope he becomes a pitcher. I hope he inherits my husband's skills. But what if my husband inherits mine? I'm completely clumsy. But watching him at soccer practice, I can see he has athletic ability. I think both of them are pretty decent."
In fact, Bae Ji-hyun's first daughter, Hye-seong, gained attention for her throwing form. Bae Ji-hyun noted, "She imitates the pose from watching her dad throw. The second one also follows her dad lifting his leg, but she raises the same leg and arm. Kids do that. It's amazing how they keep mimicking the actions."
"Hye-seong asks every day when they'll play baseball. She loves going to the baseball stadium. It's so much fun, people treat her well, and her dad is there. She gets to eat a lot of delicious food. When it gets to the 7th or 8th inning, she gets tired, so I have to show her something. Since I often allow it, she really wants to go to the baseball game," revealing that the children are also very interested in baseball.
"When I watch Hyun-jin's games, I tend to be strict with the kids. I'd like them to watch when their dad is pitching, but they get distracted. They're kids after all. Oddly enough, when Hye-seong cheers for her dad and focuses, he pitches well. It's a jinx. If she's lying down or doing something else, something bad always happens. It's a jinx. Because of that, she does nothing wrong, but I keep saying, 'Stay still,' 'Don't move.' And I unconsciously want her to say what I want. If I say 'double play,' she says 'double play.' Previously, when Hye-seong saw her dad hit a home run, she used to say 'wow.' Then we would react together. Now, it seems like she understands a little bit more."
In particular, Bae Ji-hyun mentioned, "Hye-seong is shy. There's a commissioner named Jeong Min-cheol, who was introduced to us, and he's a big guy, about the same size as Hyun-jin. His hands are even bigger. Usually, kids are scared of such people at first, but Hye-seong, meeting him for the first time at about 4 and a half, 5 years old, immediately hugged him. We were shocked. It was something else. She hugged him tightly, drawing pictures in the restaurant and causing quite a stir. She loved him from the first day. Since then, every time they meet, she lights up."
Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin and Bae Ji-hyun got married in 2018 and have one son and one daughter.
