Ha Won-mi witnessed Choo Shin-soo creating slush funds(?).
Recently the 'Ha Won-mi' YouTube channel uploaded a video titled '[U.S. edition] I'll show you around a Major League Baseball stadium thoroughly.'
On that day, Choo Shin-soo, who was to throw the ceremonial first pitch in Texas, went to the ballpark with a trembling heart. He said, "When I come to the ballpark, I really want to play baseball," and added, "Actually, not just this ballpark but all Major League ballparks feel a bit like that. They're so beautiful."
At the enormous stadium, which even surprised the production team, Choo Shin-soo recalled the past, saying, "I wonder if I was really someone who played baseball here."
The two followed an employee into a mysterious room. On the table were a baseball and a bat with Choo Shin-soo's name on them. When the production team asked, "What kind of place is this?" Ha Won-mi explained, "This is where they get signatures; these people are probably the ones creating Choo Shin-soo's slush funds. They get signatures, have them notarized, then sell them."
Earlier, Ha Won-mi had exposed Choo Shin-soo's slush funds. In response, Choo Shin-soo said, "In the majors, besides the salary, there are surprisingly profitable things. Player baseball cards are very active. Signing one card is $10 (about 13,000 won). I once signed 60,000 cards (about 780 million won), 70,000 cards (about 910 million won)."
Choo Shin-soo, as if familiar, sat down and began signing a 50th anniversary baseball. Watching from the side, Ha Won-mi asked, "This is how you create slush funds, right?"
Flustered, Choo Shin-soo said, "Everything's been exposed. This is bad," and Ha Won-mi said, "I caught that scene." Choo Shin-soo conceded, "But... it's really true."
Ha Won-mi said, "They led me to a secluded place, and I thought since he's signing maybe there would be a lot of fans here. I must have been startled before I realized it."
Then Choo Shin-soo joked, "If I hadn't retired and were still an active player, I would have told my wife, 'Wait a moment,'" and added, "Everything's been stripped bare."
