Kim Hye-seong, who is active in the Los Angeles Dodgers, is drawing attention for his exceptional lower body confidence.

On the 15th (Korean time), the American sports media 'SportsNet LA' posted an interesting video on its official social media. The video included a scene where team officials showed a man squatting with an 800-pound (approximately 363 kg) barbell, asking the players, 'Can you do this much?'

Upon seeing this, Shohei Ohtani expressed surprise, saying, 'Who is this person?' and admired, 'His thighs are huge.' He then stated, '800 pounds? No chance,' emphatically declaring it impossible. Other players, including Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Mookie Betts, shook their heads, saying, 'That's impossible' and 'No way.' However, only Kim Hye-seong replied strongly, 'I can do it. It's easy.'

This scene became a hot topic among American fans. On social media, comments such as 'Hye-seong, I believe in you,' 'Now is the time for Kim Hye-seong to prove himself,' 'Seeing his legs makes the claim of 'easy' convincing,' 'If it's Kim Hye-seong, he could lift 400 kg,' and 'With Kim Hye-seong's lower body muscles, it's possible,' continued to flow in with expectations.

Japanese sports media 'Fullcount' reported this, stating, 'During his KBO days, Kim Hye-seong recorded a personal best of 11 home runs in a single season, and even in his Major League debut season, he has only hit 2 home runs in 29 games, but his body is filled with solid muscles comparable to a power hitter. At 178 cm and 79 kg, the thickness of his thighs and upper body muscles that protrude from his uniform certainly catch the eye.'

'Furthermore, after achieving a walk-off victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 21, the locker room scene of Kim Hye-seong captured on the broadcast screen surprised everyone watching. The exposed upper body while changing clothes was literally at a bodybuilder level,' they added.

Kim Hye-seong confidently shouted, 'I can do it,' in response to a strength challenge that no one on the team could easily answer. His bold words are truly shaking the hearts of American fans.
