Baseball player Choo Shin-soo looks back on his baseball career and confesses his regrets toward his wife Ha Won-mi. He has drawn attention by revealing the story of why he prepared a wedding gift for his wife, who endured his seven years of minor league life with him, but then stopped.

The MBC ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang) to be aired on the 15th will be decorated with a special feature of ‘My Second Act: Clear’, starring Choo Shin-soo, Ku Hye-sun, Kwak Si-yang, and Yoon Nam-no.

Choo Shin-soo will reveal the touching true story of how he became the first Asian major leaguer to set the ‘200 home run record’. He drew attention by revealing his surprising lifestyle during his 7 years in the minor leagues in the United States, especially surprising everyone by revealing the hardships and efforts he and his wife Ha Won-mi went through to save money due to their low salary.



After Choo Shin-soo left his minor league life, which he did not want to return to, and went to the major leagues, the most surprising thing was the various buffets allowed to the players. Choo Shin-soo touched everyone by revealing the story of how he waited for 2 hours until the other players finished eating, asked permission, and packed ‘seafood’ to take home for his wife who loves seafood.

Along with the various stories, Choo Shin-soo‘s nickname, ‘Baseball’s Choi Soo-jong’, is revealed, as well as his feelings about always feeling sorry for not being able to have a wedding. Choo Shin-soo also reveals an episode where he planned a large-scale wedding without telling his wife and then called it off. He surprised everyone by revealing that he had prepared for a stadium wedding with the permission of the team at the time, but did not hold the wedding due to a shocking comment from his wife, Ha Won-mi.

Choo Shin-soo also reveals an episode from his childhood with his elementary school classmate and fellow major leaguer, Lee Dae-ho. After seeing Lee Dae-ho, he said, “Coach, there‘s a high school student in my class,” and he even reveals the story of their touching reunion in the ‘Major League’.

In particular, he reveals that his drastic salary cut upon returning to Korea was his own work(?). With a cumulative annual salary of 190 billion won, he, who had been the highest-paid Korean major leaguer of all time, became the owner of a ‘annual salary of 30 million won.’ As it was revealed that this was a consideration for other players, attention is focused on the stories he will tell as he gave them a thumbs up.

‘Radio Star’, which will show the touching story of ‘Choo Shin-soo couple’ and the ‘persistence’ that allowed Choo Shin-soo to set various records, will air on Wednesday the 15th at 10:30 p.m.
