Actor Jo In-sung expressed his excitement and revealed his fan spirit as the Hanwha Eagles celebrated their nine-game winning streak after 20 years.
On the 8th, Jo In-sung posted a short message saying, "It's been 20 years... Wow!!!" along with a captured broadcast screen of Hanwha Eagles player Moon Dong-joo. Moon, who started as the starting pitcher the previous day, allowed 2 runs over 6 innings and became the winning pitcher.
As a result, the Hanwha Eagles extended their winning streak to 9 from the game against KT Wiz on the 4th, ranking them first in the league. This record, achieved after 20 years, holds immense significance for both fans and players.
Jo In-sung is a prominent fan of the Eagles in the entertainment industry. In 2023, he visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium with his "close friend" Cha Tae-hyun to cheer for the Hanwha Eagles, and when the team recorded an eight-game winning streak that year, he expressed his joy on Instagram.
In particular, Jo In-sung appeared on the YouTube channel "Pinggye-go" last year, stating, "I feel so empty when the baseball season ends. It's like saying goodbye to my friend I used to meet at 6:30 p.m. I used to watch baseball every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I hate it even when it rains. Because there's no baseball. There’s also no baseball on Mondays," proudly showcasing his affection for the sport.
Cha Tae-hyun further fueled the rumor about Yoo Jae-suk's 2 trillion won fortune, humorously asking, "If you have 2 trillion, can't you buy the Hanwha Eagles and bring all the players?" This brought laughter. Yoo Jae-suk admired Jo In-sung and Cha Tae-hyun's enthusiastic love for baseball, stating, "It's just 'baseball,' just 'baseball.'" The video resonated strongly with Hanwha Eagles fans.
The two, who have built a friendship over more than 20 years, established a new management company called "BASS Company" last month. With the establishment of the company and the Hanwha Eagles achieving a nine-game winning streak after 20 years, Jo In-sung and Cha Tae-hyun are enjoying incredibly happy days.
