[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Lee Seung-yeop showed anger at the greeting attitude of a junior baseball player.

On the 6th, JTBC's 'Strongest Baseball' aired a ceremony where former professional baseball players held a founding event. On this day, pitchers as well as outfielders and catchers including Lee Hong-gu, Jung Eui-yoon, and Lee Taek-geun joined.

Jung Eui-yoon introduced himself as a "6-month released outfielder," and Yoo Hee-kwan joked, "Did you come prepared for (variety) entertainment?" causing laughter.

Then, Yoon Jun-ho, a senior catcher from Dongui University, appeared. Yoon Jun-ho sat down and greeted, "Hello," but upon hearing this, Lee Seung-yeop stood up from his chair in anger saying, "That's arrogant," freezing the atmosphere.

Lee Hong-gu, upon Yoon Jun-ho's appearance, asked the PD, "Didn't you just say I was the starter?" and "Do we have to compete for the position?" The PD replied, "That's right. He was selected as a backup. Who becomes the starter will be evaluated based on skill."
