‘Mr. House Husband’ will feature Choo Shin-soo‘s last baseball game.

On KBS 2TV’s ‘Mr. House Husband Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Mr. House Husband’), which will air at 9:20 PM on the 9th (Sat), the last home game of SSG Landers will be exclusively followed and Choo Shin-soo‘s retirement game and behind-the-scenes footage will be revealed.

Choo Shin-soo entered the U.S. after joining the Seattle Mariners in 2000 and played in the Major League for 17 years, earning him the distinction of being the most successful Korean hitter in MLB. Since then, Choo Shin-soo returned to the KBO League by joining the SSG Landers in 2021, and has meaningfully spent the twilight of his career setting records for oldest appearances, hits, RBIs, stolen bases, and home runs as the oldest KBO hitter.

Choo Shin-soo, who had a difficult retirement season due to a shoulder injury he suffered early this year, visits the hospital with hopes for his last at-bat. The doctor shocked everyone by saying, “It’s a miracle that I‘m even standing at the plate with a bat,” and “I need to stop playing baseball and have surgery as soon as possible.” Nevertheless, Choo Shin-soo earnestly confesses his feelings, saying, “I’m sick, but I want to do as much as I can,” and his wife Ha Won-mi sheds tears of pity.

Choo Shin-soo eventually enters the stadium after receiving an emergency injection for his last at-bat. On this day, not only Choo Shin-soo‘s family but also fans filled the stands to see his last home game in person, and all seats were sold out due to the Choo Shin-soo effect. As the game progressed interestingly, Choo Shin-soo, who had been waiting, finally appeared at the plate, and attention is focused on how his last game will end.

In addition, after the last game, a surprise gift prepared by his family for Choo Shin-soo will be revealed in the darkened baseball stadium. It is said that Choo Shin-soo as well as MC Baek Ji-young, who was watching in the studio, shed tears.
