Before meeting with his favorite player, he showed off his baseball merch to the production team.

I have friends that like baseball, and they asked if I could get his autograph. This is KIA Tigers merch. This T-shirt doesn’t look like it’s KIA, but I wanted to get his autograph on it. I also brought my Yang Hyun Jong photo cards.

Seeing how happy and excited he was to meet his favorite player, he realized that this must be how fans feel when they come to meet him.

When fans come to fan sign events or have the opportunity to meet me, they wear shirts that say ‘I love Sion’ and bring tour merch and are always so nervous. I always tell them not to be nervous and to be comfortable. But now that I’m in a similar position, I can understand why everyone gets nervous. I understand how fans must feel now.

After finally meeting with Yang, Sion could not hide his expressions!

Yang: He’s always like this! Always.

Sion: I can’t control my facial expressions.

Yang: He’s the same. He hasn’t changed at all. Maybe the uniform is the problem? But the uniform you wore suited you.

Sion: It is really nice, the players love it too, right?

Yang: We kept requesting it because we wanted to wear it for the game.”

Previously, the two met at a baseball game where Sion was scheduled to pitch, but was unfortunately canceled due to the weather.

Toward the end of the show, they even exchanged numbers! Hopefully we will be able to see the two of them again soon!
