The ‘baseball fever’ continues even in living rooms.
The entertainment program ‘Strongest Baseball’, which planted an interest in baseball across the nation, will return next year in the form of a spin-off.
According to Tving on the 18th, the original entertainment program ‘Strongest Baseball Spin-off’ (tentative title) is a reality program in which the 11th team formed under the name ‘Strongest Monsters’ competes with strong baseball teams from around the country to face off against professional baseball teams.
This spin-off will feature the process of the ‘Strongest Monsters’, who have taken on challenges every season and written unscripted dramas, opening a new event during the off-season.
In the 2023 season, the ‘Strongest Monsters’ not only recorded a 70% win rate, but also sold out all six of their live games, showing off their powerful ticket power. They also won the ‘2023 Nutriday Ilgu Award’ and the ‘2023 KBO Golden Glove Special Performance Award’, recognizing their contributions to expanding the base of professional baseball.
The production team said, “We planned a spin-off that will realistically show the off-season of the ‘Strongest Monsters’ in order to provide new enjoyment to fans who have loved ‘Strongest Baseball’ so far,” and added, “Please look forward to which players will face unique challenges this time.”
