Comedian Kim Jun-ho Joins 'True Fan Zone 2' as a Die-Hard Hanwha Eagles Fan
Teabing's original variety show 'True Fan Zone 2' is set to welcome comedian Kim Jun-ho, known as the 'Son of Daejeon,' as a special guest.
'True Fan Zone' is a sports entertainment program dedicated to showcasing the passionate cheering of fans who pour their lives into the game. The second season focuses on the dedicated fanbase of the professional baseball team, the Hanwha Eagles.
The fixed cast members for this season include former baseball player Kim Tae-kyun and actor In Gyo-jin, both long-time Hanwha Eagles supporters. Notably, episode 3, airing live on the 25th, will feature comedian Kim Jun-ho, who is expected to ignite the fan spirit alongside them. Kim Jun-ho will be cheering live for the Hanwha Eagles' game against the Doosan Bears, promising fantastic chemistry with Kim Tae-kyun and In Gyo-jin.
Originally from Daejeon, Kim Jun-ho has previously proven his deep allegiance to the Hanwha Eagles by throwing ceremonial first pitches twice. His reunion with close friends Kim Tae-kyun and In Gyo-jin is anticipated to amplify the fans' fervent support. Adding another layer of intrigue, both Kim Jun-ho's wife, Kim Ji-min, and In Gyo-jin's wife, So Yi-hyun, are reportedly avid fans of the opposing Doosan Bears. This 'one roof, two baseball teams' dynamic is expected to generate amusing anecdotes.
The Hanwha Eagles are currently experiencing a remarkable season, reaching first place in the first half for the first time in 33 years. The remaining regular-season games are crucial for their championship aspirations. 'True Fan Zone 2' aims to continue its passionate support for the Hanwha Eagles until the very end of the season. The program, a pioneering sports variety show centering on fans, will be broadcast live on Teabing at 6 PM on the 25th.
Kim Jun-ho has publicly shown his passion for the Hanwha Eagles by throwing ceremonial first pitches at the Hanwha Eagles Park in 2015 and 2023. His wife, Kim Ji-min, is known to be a fan of the rival team, the Doosan Bears, hinting at interesting family dynamics during games. Kim Jun-ho often expresses his unique affection for the Hanwha Eagles using the slogan 'It's not a crime to be obsessed with Hanwha'.
