Oh Seung-hwan mentioned Major League Baseball pensions on 'Why leave it'.
On the 12th broadcast of the tvN STORY entertainment show 'Why leave it', 'baseball legends' Kim Sun-woo, Park Yong-taek, and Oh Seung-hwan were guests.
That day Kim Sun-woo and Park Yong-taek said they had never eaten with Oh Seung-hwan, whom they met at the 2006 WBC, and invited him to treat him to a meal.
Oh Seung-hwan, nicknamed 'stone Buddha' for his usually taciturn demeanor, said he had retired two months before the broadcast and gave an update, and Park Yong-taek said of Oh Seung-hwan, "He has five championship rings. He won five times with the Lions." On the other hand, Kim Sun-woo and Park Yong-taek said they had never won. When Park Yong-taek retorted that it was incorrect information, Kim Sun-woo revealed, "I asked for one later. When I was a commentator I went to the club owner and asked for one," prompting Park Yong-taek to emphasize, "He gave it so he received it," saying it was the same one, not a goods item.
Oh Seung-hwan said, "The players' ones really have diamonds mixed with gold," which he didn't believe, and Park Yong-taek shouted, "They're the same," drawing laughter.
In particular, it was said that unlike Kim Sun-woo, who started from the minor leagues, Oh Seung-hwan went straight to the major leagues as soon as he went to the United States, which aroused curiosity. At the time of his move he signed a contract worth 13.1 billion won over two years. About this, Oh Seung-hwan said, "He went after proving himself on the Korean and Japanese stages, so he was scouted in college," and added, "Can I brag a little?"
He added, "He proved himself in Korea and in Japan and went while being respected, and because he was treated well he thought he should be treated even better. Thinking of the juniors after him."
Then Lee Young-ja asked, "I heard Park Chan-ho still receives a Major League pension of 2.5 million won a month. Is that true?" She said MLB pensions are paid for life from age 60, and Oh Seung-hwan said, "As far as I know, even if I die my wife would receive it," which surprised everyone.
Startled, Lee Young-ja joked, "My wife couldn't get a divorce," and wondered about the pension amounts of Oh Seung-hwan and Kim Sun-woo. Oh Seung-hwan confessed, "After we retired we could go to Japan once a month to eat udon. In terms of exchange rate, if you start receiving it around 62, it is over 100 million won a year," and said he expected about 7 to 8 million won per month.
Park Se-ri also said she receives a pension. When Oh Seung-hwan said, "You probably don't need to receive it," Park Se-ri snapped, "How much have I paid all this time?" drawing laughter.
