Jun Hyun-moo Cheers on Korean Baseball Team at Tokyo Dome: 'Team Korea Fighting!'
Broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo showed his passionate support for the Korean national baseball team at the 2025 K-Baseball Series exhibition games held at Tokyo Dome in Japan.
On the 16th, Jun Hyun-moo posted a photo on his social media with the caption, 'We win today♡ Team Korea Fighting!'. The published photo shows Jun Hyun-moo in the stands of Tokyo Dome, wearing a black LG uniform, smiling brightly with his fists clenched.
Perhaps his fervent cheers worked, as the second exhibition game held at Tokyo Dome on the 16th ended in a dramatic 7-7 tie. In the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs, Kim Joo-won hit a game-tying solo home run against Japanese pitcher Taisei, bringing the score back to even. With this draw, the Korean team recorded 1 draw and 1 loss in the two exhibition games against Japan, breaking an 11-game losing streak against their rivals.
Although they tasted disappointment in the first game, the team's late-game focus in the second match rekindled hope for the World Baseball Classic (WBC) to be held next March.
Netizens commented, 'Did Jun Hyun-moo's support help us get a draw?', 'Let's definitely win the next WBC!', and 'It's nice to see you enjoying the game,' showing their enthusiastic support.
