The leader of the 'Flame Fighters,' manager Kim Seong-geun, has entered a 'hellish review' to select elite members to lead the team.
On the 26th, Studio C1's variety program 'Flame Baseball 2' unexpectedly released a second teaser video through its official SNS channel ahead of its first broadcast on May 4. This teaser captured manager Kim Seong-geun's enduring passion and an unpredictable evaluation process, raising fans' expectations.
In the released video, manager Kim Seong-geun laughed after hearing from Director General Jang Si-won that more than 200 applicants had applied, jokingly saying, "I want to leave." But he immediately switched to a fierce look and filled the scene with tension as he carefully reviewed videos of applicants with legendary professional baseball careers such as Lee Dae-ho, Song Seung-jun, Kim Jae-ho, Jung Geun-woo and Nifert.
In particular, manager Kim Seong-geun spared no effort to find the "pearl in the mud" without being swayed by names. While examining the new faces' profiles one by one, he bombarded them with questions like "Are you a college student?" and "Are you a sidearm?" and reportedly surprised the production team by declaring he would continue evaluations until the next day, saying, "My head hurts less than when I'm at home."
According to the production team, this selection process was conducted over such an extensive period that it was called the "longest evaluation in the world." Manager Kim Seong-geun, who repeatedly reviewed applicants' videos, even after watching all the videos said, "Pitcher number 1, let's watch again," leaving the production team astonished. Kim's unwavering thoroughness amid repeated reexaminations hints at the completeness of season 2. A caption reading "a time-travel journey with the god of baseball no one expected" was added to increase viewing enjoyment.
Manager Kim Seong-geun's sharp evaluation results will be revealed on May 4 at 8 p.m. on Studio C1's official YouTube channel. Attention is focused on who will make the final lineup of 'Flame Baseball 2' after passing the needle-eye-like acceptance rate.
