"Emergency Bathroom" Home Run Story [Problem Child in House 2 | 옥탑방의문제아들] | KBS WORLD TV 260506

0:01 Last year, Korean professional baseball surpassed 12 million spectators,

0:05 setting an all-time box office record.

0:07 Twelve million.

0:08 The cheering culture of people in the stadium shouting

0:10 together in unison played a part in its popularity.

0:14 Especially when the opposing pitcher throws

0:16 a pickoff attempt, instead of booing,

0:17 fans shout slogans that reflect each region's characteristics,

0:19 which adds a unique kind of fun.

0:22 In Busan, it's "Ma!"/- Busan Giants fans say...

0:24 Ma!

0:25 (Busan Giants, Ma!)- Gwangju Tigers fans say...

0:31 Aya!

0:32 Aya, the night's almost over!

0:36 "Aya."/- They urge the opposing pitcher- and scold him.

0:40 That's funny.

0:41 Then what is Daegu Lions' pickoff cheer slogan?

0:45 What did Samsung do?

0:47 Daegu?

0:47 What did Samsung do?

0:49 Daegu?

0:49 Isn't it something like "Stop it"?

0:50 What is it?

0:51 "Stop it, stop it." Maybe "Stop it." "Stop it." (Wrong) Answer.

0:56 "What are you doing?" (Wrong) "Are you crazy?" (Wrong) "Are

1:02 you out of your mind?" (Wrong) It's probably something short.

1:08 Right, it has to be short for the rhythm.

1:11 It definitely feels like it'll be in dialect.

1:13 Yeah, dialect.

1:14 "What?" "What?" "What?"- Similar.

1:18 That is correct.

1:20 Really?

1:21 It's "What?" What?

1:26 What?

1:29 What?

1:30 "What?"- That's funny.

1:33 And then, Seoul Twins fans say...

1:35 "Hey!"/- "Hey!" Is it what you say to kids?

1:40 (Seoul Twins cutely say, "Hey!

1:40 Throw it forward")- Daejeon Eagles say...

1:42 "What the?" "What the?"- "What are you doing?"/- Daejeon's is too long.

1:47 Dinos fans say...

1:48 "Come on."- "Come on."/- Calling the opposing player's name.

1:51 They respond with cheerful pickoff slogans.

1:54 (Cheerful pickoff slogans with regional flair) In Daejeon, it's just like this.

1:57 "What the?" Just like that.

1:59 "What the?" Nice.

2:02 But this is to disturb.

2:05 Right, right.

2:06 A disturbance.

2:07 But for pitchers too, I think since they hear this every game,- Right.

2:12 they'd get used to it,- so it might not bother them.

2:14 Might even enjoy it.

2:15 It might actually help them concentrate, like ASMR.

2:18 It really does help you focus.

2:21 Around the time we retired, because of COVID-19, there were no spectators.

2:24 Right, no audience.

2:25 It was so distracting.

2:26 Rather?

2:27 It was so distracting.

2:28 Then in a way, that's helping the opponent?

2:31 You just think, "That's just how it is."- It's for fun.

2:34 Yes.

2:35 (Fans enjoy it, and players like it too) Are there any places that are scary?

2:37 This place is a little scary, I don't want to go there.

2:39 The atmosphere is kind of...

2:41 Really rough.

2:41 Was Sajik Stadium okay back then?

2:43 Sajik Stadium was scary too.

2:45 Really?

2:45 They'd shake the bus and stuff.

2:47 Really?

2:48 Right.

2:48 If you won?

2:49 Yes, we couldn't leave.

2:50 We couldn't leave and had to stay there.

2:52 Really?

2:53 They blocked you.

2:53 Yes.

2:54 Ever since I was young, I basically lived at Sajik Stadium.

2:56 My friend was totally obsessed with baseball players.

2:59 But when you go to watch baseball...

3:03 There were always about one or two people hanging from the fence.

3:07 The movie "Tidal Wave." The movie "Tidal Wave." "Hey, you, Lee Daeho!

3:14 Lee Daeho!" That was Sul Kyunggu acting, right?

3:16 When I was in high school, I saw that all the time, so I thought, "Oh,

3:19 this is how you cheer in baseball." "You just watch

3:21 while hanging on." I thought you watch while hanging on.

3:24 But what's so fascinating is, they're all drunk.

3:27 They climb up the net.

3:28 They climb up.

3:28 There are several Spider-Men.

3:30 Spider-Men.

3:31 Then they try to go over.

3:32 They actually get over.

3:34 Then their grip strength gives out.

3:36 They fall from that height.

3:38 They fall with a thud.

3:39 Really?

3:40 They got over?

3:40 You'd think they'd definitely have to be carried away,

3:43 but then they get up like zombies.

3:44 (Reviving like zombies as if nothing happened) They climb up again?

3:48 There were really so many people like that.

3:49 The players see all of that.

3:51 There were a lot of things happening.

3:52 (A baseball stadium full of all kinds of events) Back then,

3:54 people would bring canned beer into the stadium.

3:57 If it's an empty can,- it won't reach the defense area.

4:00 Right.

4:01 So when they got angry...

4:02 Full ones?

4:02 Full ones.

4:03 They would throw canned beer.

4:06 (Really?)- There used to be a lot of videos.

4:08 It's dangerous.

4:09 (A baseball stadium in 1999) Water bottles and other objects are flying in.

4:11 The manager was also showered with water bottles.

4:14 The outfielders had to use umbrellas and helmets.

4:18 Actually, when I was a rookie...

4:19 Did you get hit?

4:20 It was the final Game 5 of the playoffs, and we were playing in Gwangju.

4:24 I hit two home runs, and we advanced to the Korean Series.

4:28 Then from around the seventh inning,

4:29 I was on defense, and cans started flying in.

4:31 (Cans flying toward Yongtaik) That's dangerous.

4:34 So I went to Manager Kim Seonggeun and kind of tattled to him.

4:38 I tattled a little pettily, saying, "Manager,

4:41 they keep throwing cans at me." At first,

4:44 he told me, "Go out wearing a helmet." While playing defense.

4:48 (Go out wearing a helmet) So you don't get hit in the head.

4:51 "Go out wearing a helmet." But thankfully, the score gap widened more.

4:54 So funny.

4:55 He took me out on defense.

4:57 In that game, there was actually a fire in the stands.

5:01 Really?

5:01 There was a fire.

5:02 There was a fire?

5:04 Yes.

5:06 Fan riots have also been happening in every region across the country,

5:09 and have already reached a serious stage.

5:11 (A real fire broke out) (The sudden fire forced the players

5:16 to evacuate) (Park Yongtaik)- It was in the old days.

5:22 A long time ago.

5:23 An era of savagery.

5:25 Right.

5:25 But Eagles fans really are incredible.

5:26 I know some around me too.

5:30 Once it passed a certain point, they didn't even get angry anymore.

5:34 They call them Bodhisattva fans.

5:37 Right.

5:37 Like Bodhisattvas?

5:38 Like, "We lost again?" Even during the 13-game losing streak,

5:42 they smiled and cheered.

5:45 That's what Eagles fans are like.

5:47 That's cool.

5:47 I think that made it even harder for the players.

5:50 You'd rather they got angry.

5:51 Yes, I'd rather they did something more,- like throwing things.

5:55 Or expressed their anger.

5:56 That would've felt less burdensome.

5:59 But instead, they clapped and said it was okay, saying,

6:02 "You can win tomorrow." Later on, it felt like they had reached enlightenment.

6:05 That made me feel even more sorry, more embarrassed, and I just wanted to hide.

6:11 But Eagles fans have a real tradition of cheering loudly in the 8th inning.

6:18 Then they shout, "Strongest Hanwha." Everyone chants it together.

6:24 They put their hands behind their backs and shout loudly, Strongest Hanwha!

6:30 Strongest Hanwha!

6:33 But we'd be losing by ten runs, or losing by five runs.

6:37 You were not the strongest at all.

6:39 Not at all.

6:39 But the opposing fans would do the opposite.

6:42 "Last-place Hanwha." "Strongest Hanwha," "Last-place Hanwha." It

6:47 echoes back and forth throughout the stadium.

6:50 (That's so cruel) "Last-place Hanwha." My heart felt so uncomfortable and heavy.

6:57 Even when they were losing...

6:59 I am happy♪ Even though they weren't happy,♪ I am happy♪♪

7:05 I'm happy because I'm an Eagles♪ But everyone looked so sad,

7:08 yet they kept singing, "I am happy." (Endless love from the fans toward

7:15 the players) Taekyun is actually amazing at mukbang too.

7:20 He's the best at mukbang.

7:21 Almost all eating shows...

7:23 Yes.

7:24 I feel like he does every eating show.

7:25 Yeah.

7:25 My pride is so hurt right now because I lost to a sixth grader.

7:31 Really?

7:32 You passed 72kg in sixth grade?

7:34 Really?

7:35 That's right.

7:36 How did you eat back then?

7:37 In elementary?

7:38 I started playing sports early.

7:39 I started in second grade.

7:41 So it was when I was eating like crazy.

7:44 You'd be hungry.

7:45 I was always hungry.

7:46 There was a stationery store in front of the school.

7:48 A snack shop.

7:50 Tteokbokki, snacks, gimbap.

7:50 They sold lots of things like that.

7:52 They had filefish jerky too.

7:54 I went out during every break to eat.

7:58 But I didn't have much money.

7:59 When I went to school in the morning, my parents would give me some allowance.

8:03 So I started buying things on credit at the stationery store.

8:06 With your parents' permission?

8:08 Without telling them.

8:09 I just had to eat first.

8:11 "Whatever.

8:11 I'm hungry." "Mom will pay later." It's awkward to ask for permission.

8:15 So I kept eating, and after about two months,- the owner...

8:19 The owner.

8:20 He came to the baseball field.

8:21 (The stationery store owner came to the baseball field)- To collect the credit?

8:23 "This kid owes this much." So the coach called my parents,

8:27 and my dad came and paid it off.

8:30 It was really scary.

8:32 Wait, the credit amount was $570?

8:35 Back then, that was almost...

8:36 In elementary school?

8:37 $570 back then?

8:39 For two months?

8:40 At a stationery store?

8:42 $570 for snacks back then.

8:43 Did you eat almost two tons?

8:46 Almost the cost of a company dinner.

8:47 Exactly.

8:49 (His appetite was different from the sprout stage)

8:50 But when you have such a huge appetite,

8:52 before a game, you have to eat and then go out.

8:54 Did you ever get an upset stomach?

8:56 I'm kind of...

8:56 What do you call it, short intestines?

8:58 Does it come right out?

8:59 Yes.

9:00 It comes straight out.

9:00 So when we played in Busan, at Sajik Baseball Stadium,

9:03 I was waiting in the back,- and it came.

9:06 You felt it coming.

9:07 It came.

9:08 What do you do?

9:08 I thought, "I'm dead now." Since I was the fourth batter,

9:10 with two outs, the batter was Jay Davis.

9:13 "I want another out." (Jay Davis, the third batter,

9:14 up with two outs) So it would just end?

9:16 Then when the inning changed,

9:17 I could quickly go to the bathroom and then go out on defense.

9:20 I was praying, "Please, please," but he got on with a walk.

9:23 (Gets on base with a walk) And it was bases loaded.

9:25 Because if you twisted wrong, it would immediately be out.

9:28 As I walked into the batter's box...

9:31 You couldn't hold it.

9:32 I broke out in a cold sweat and got chills.

9:35 I was in big trouble.

9:36 It was so scary.

9:37 Oh, no.

9:37 What to do?

9:38 You get chills then.

9:38 As I stepped into the batter's box, I was so terrified.

9:41 Then I made a plan.

9:42 If I let the count go too long,- there would be an accident.

9:46 The first pitch?

9:46 Yes.

9:47 I went in, and the moment he threw the first pitch, I really just swung hard.

9:52 I swung without thinking.

9:53 And then?

9:54 (He swung and?)
