Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) legends Lee Dae-hyung and Yoon Suk-min will join Channel A's 'Queen of Baseball,' which opens a new horizon for women's sports narratives.
Lee Dae-hyung and Yoon Suk-min will be appointed as coaches for the new entertainment program 'Queen of Baseball' airing in November. In response to the official founding of the 'women's baseball team,' they will provide specialized coaching to female cast members who come from various sports backgrounds. First, Lee Dae-hyung, also known as 'Super Sonic,' who holds the amazing record of being the 'stolen base king' for four consecutive years, intends to share his batting coaching as well as base running know-how with the female players. Additionally, former national team ace and 'franchise star' pitcher Yoon Suk-min is expected to shine as a 'top instructor' by coaching pitchers and fielders, which raises high expectations for the transformation of the 'legendary two-way player' into a coach.
Thus, 'Queen of Baseball' has completed an 'all-time great golden lineup' by including Lee Dae-hyung and Yoon Suk-min in the coaching staff following manager Choo Shin-soo and Director General Park Se-ri. The production team of 'Queen of Baseball' stated, "The 'KBO legends' Lee Dae-hyung and Yoon Suk-min accepted coaching positions after careful consideration with a goal and responsibility to properly cultivate the untapped field of 'women's baseball.' They expressed anticipation for the rapid growth and inspiring narratives that the female cast members, who are former players, will showcase under the strong support of Choo Shin-soo, Park Se-ri, Lee Dae-hyung, and Yoon Suk-min."
Meanwhile, Channel A's new entertainment program 'Queen of Baseball' is a sports variety show in which female legends from various sports challenge the unfamiliar stage of 'baseball.' Female cast members, who are former athletes and unfamiliar with baseball rules, will join the newly founded women's baseball team and undergo rigorous training that entails blood, sweat, and dirt, culminating in real game experiences. It is an anticipated project by director Shin Jae-ho, who directed Channel A's franchise entertainment 'Steel Unit W,' and writer Kang Suk-kyung, who has worked on 'Steel Unit W' and 'Physical 100' seasons 1 and 2, hinting at thrilling enjoyment for 'trustworthy' sports entertainment.
Channel A's 'Queen of Baseball,' which heralds the birth of a new women's sports narrative, will broadcast for the first time in November.
