Park Yong-taik, diffuseur de KBS et ancien leader de tous les temps du KBO, a commencé à pleurer dans la cabine en parlant de la qualification de la Corée pour les quarts de finale. Les autres diffuseurs étaient légèrement plus calmes.

The guy in the middle (Lee Dae-hyung) is a long-time teammate of him for the LG Twins, hence why they’re making fun of him for crying lmaoooo
There is happy relieved crying in baseball
Take that Tom Hanks
This shit means something to him
Korean commentary is very emotional and biased for team Korea. They love their country and their representation. Love to see it.
Fun fact: His predictions have been notorious for always turning out to be wrong. This time he officially « predicted » that Korea won’t make it to the next round.
The reverse-curse worked! 😀
There’s something about baseball that makes grown men shed happy tears and, honestly, that’s why I love it.
It was a lot of things. I think Korea thinks of itself as a baseball country. The KBO is better run than the soccer K-League. Even though soccer player Son Heung Min is arguably the biggest Korean athlete. It hurts ones Korean pride seeing the national baseball team inability to get out of pool play, no disrespect to any of the other nations and clearly baseball is improving globally but esp after almost winning the competition in 2009 to not be able to come out of pool play hurt. Then the crazy game and the crazy permutations, Dane Dunning avoiding being blamed for a second blown game, Jung Hoo Lee making that catch, the total improbability of it all. I cried too.
