Kim Ha-seong Opens Up About Shoulder Surgery Recovery and Future Plans on 'Home Alone'

Baseball player Kim Ha-seong shared an update on his recovery following shoulder surgery.

Appearing on the MBC variety show 'Home Alone' (Nahonsan) on the 12th, Kim Ha-seong made a striking entrance in a luxurious car. He humorously confessed that the car's price was quite high, even compared to his salary, drawing laughter from everyone.

During the off-season, Kim visited a training center for his physical management. He explained, "I feel there are areas I need to improve. I train harder during the off-season." He then elaborated on his physical condition while preparing for shoulder reinforcement.

"Last year, while sliding in San Diego, my shoulder dislocated, and I ended up needing surgery. It was devastating," Kim shared. "I underwent extensive rehabilitation, but ultimately chose surgery." He added, "Shoulder surgery is the biggest surgery for a baseball player. I had a lot of anxiety, but I'm in good condition now. I'm focusing on training for next season rather than just rehabilitation."

He reflected on his life, stating, "Until I turned thirty, I only focused on baseball. In the US, I dedicate 10 months solely to baseball. Every day is a battle to survive. The three months I spend in Korea are crucial for my personal time. It's a period to prepare for a strong performance next season."

Regarding his future plans, Kim said, "I expect to return to the US around mid-January. I will manage myself well and prepare diligently to show a great performance again next year."

Netizens reacted positively to Kim's appearance, with comments like, 'Wishing Kim Ha-seong a successful recovery and comeback!', 'It's great to see his honest side on Home Alone. Prepare well for the season in good health!', and 'A true professional's self-management is impressive.'
