“Which scene was the most exciting? Is that Park Byung-ho’s home run?”
“Yes, yes.”
The scene is an interview of a group of spectators wearing Korean uniforms after losing the first game of the first round to Australia at the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) held at Tokyo Dome, Japan on the 9th (Korean time).
When their interview aired, the public was outraged. This is because Park Byeong-ho did not hit a home run that day. Even before the interview, they were caught on the relay screen several times, and the fact that they were not concentrating on the game at all became known and anger grew.
Sparks flew in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). There is a claim that they belong to the ‘Blue Wave’, a cheering squad composed of broadcasters and influencers gathered by the KBO to support the national team, and it is said that they could not concentrate on the game by going all the way to Japan to represent the country.메이저놀이터
Regarding this, a KBO official said on the 10th, “Inappropriate interviews with some Korean spectators at the Tokyo Dome site of the WBC Australia match on the 9th have become an issue, but they are people who have nothing to do with the KBO cheering squad ‘Blue Wave’.” KBO explained that they were a cheering group formed separately by a specific company to produce its own content. A specific company is a global content company.
Another KBO official who leads the ‘Blue Wave’ also denied, saying, “They are not the official KBO cheering squad.” Mr. A, who belongs to the ‘Blue Wave’ and is cheering at the Tokyo Dome, also told the reporters of this magazine, “I have never seen a red-haired influencer. It seems that he is not even in the cheering squad pool,” he confirmed.
