Actress Kang Ye-won and former baseball player Yoo Hee-kwan opened up about practical concerns regarding marriage.
On the 27th, a video titled 'Baseball-ignorant Kang Ye-won, even asking Yoo Hee-kwan for marriage advice? What is this combination | WBC·views on dating' was released on the YouTube channel 'Kkang Ye-won'.
Not knowing even the 'ya' of baseball, Kang Ye-won invited former baseball player Yoo Hee-kwan and asked writer Baek Mi-kyung for help. Yoo Hee-kwan, having been invited, could not come empty-handed so he bought flowers, and he said, "I bought them for nothing. The flowers will be overshadowed by noona," which drew laughter. Kang Ye-won, writer Baek Mi-kyung and Yoo Hee-kwan are known to eat and drink together, drawing attention.
Yoo Hee-kwan said about baseball players, "The primary thing is to go to a school that has a baseball team. The important thing is that the child wants to play baseball and finds it fun. It's good to start that way. I started at the end of fifth grade, and as an only son with no one in the family doing sports, there was strong opposition. I cried and made a fuss for days to get permission. At the time my idol was coach Lee Sang-hoon."
Yoo Hee-kwan added, "When you look only at those who succeeded, you think you should have them play baseball, but realistically for parents who have their children do sports it costs a lot of money, and there are many cases where they quit badly because of injuries or because they don't make it to the pros. Talent is important, but it depends on how much the person themselves works and strives."
Yoo Hee-kwan explained about his distinctive hairstyle, "There is a family history of hair loss, and this style has become my trademark that makes even people who don't know me recognize me." He especially said about malicious comments, "At first malicious comments hurt my feelings. I was one of the players who received many malicious comments, but I overcame it. I think nothing is scarier than no comments, and I tried to overcome it positively."
Yoo Hee-kwan, who turned 41 this year, worried about marriage. He said, "I like bright and positive people. I definitely want to have children and try to create a hard-throwing pitcher that I couldn't become myself." Yoo Hee-kwan, who said he hopes for one son and one daughter as children, said, "I am not currently seeing anyone. I want to meet a good person soon and get married."
Kang Ye-won also said, "I think a lot about marriage too. Please introduce someone. Who's not someone with low standards?" and said she had heard rumors that Yoo Hee-kwan cheats. In response, Yoo Hee-kwan made a bewildered face and asked to stop the recording, which drew laughter.
