■ KBS Special - Osaka's Giant, Lee Dae-ho In his first year in Japan, Korean powerhouse Lee Dae-ho took the Japanese professional baseball Pacific League by storm. The story of Lee Dae-ho conquering Osaka, who had a busier year than anyone else, was captured on KBS Special Camera! Not only baseball player Lee Dae-ho, but also 'human Lee Dae-ho', his daily life that has never been known before will be revealed! ■ The Hidden Story of 'Human Lee Dae-ho' Achieving the Triple Crown in 2006, winning the first seven batting crowns in Korean professional baseball in 2010, and setting a new world record of 9 consecutive home runs. The golden age of his life, where he set new records every day. However, his baseball career was not always glamorous. He joined the Lotte Giants in 2001, but his career as a player was in jeopardy due to harsh training, a death-defying diet, and a knee injury caused by his excessive diet. Since he had nothing, all he could do was try hard and practice. He was able to run with tears as heavy as his passion, wanting to succeed to the death, because of the sacrifice of his brother, the hidden protagonist of his success. A tearful brotherhood that gritted his teeth and ran with earnestness in his bat. 'Human Lee Dae-ho' who lives and dies for baseball. His honest life story that he couldn't even tell his family begins. "'Oh, he's a player with really good fundamentals' and a personality that doesn't want to lose to others is the basic fighting spirit of a player. If we were to express it as a tree, grass would survive even if you step on it. Just like it would survive even if you give it sand... This player could really get up even if you step on it. He has what we call fighting spirit. Those things were very impressive." Kim Moo-kwan / LG Twins batting coach ■ The two women who made Lee Dae-ho, the home run king. There were two women behind Lee Dae-ho, who surprised baseball fans by setting a new world record of 9 consecutive home runs. The person who raised Lee Dae-ho and his brother in a difficult family situation after losing their father at a young age is none other than his grandmother. The grandmother who supported Lee Dae-ho’s dream of becoming a baseball player by selling soybean paste at the Busan Paldo Market passed away without being able to see her grandson’s success. Whenever he looks back on the difficult times he went through to become Korea’s representative home run king, the memory that remains the most painful is his grandmother. The person who filled the void left by his grandmother is his wife, Shin Hye-jung, who has been Lee Dae-ho’s pillar for 10 years. From the grandson of the soybean paste grandmother at the Busan Paldo Market to a star in Osaka, the heartbreaking story of Lee Dae-ho, who never gave up despite difficult circumstances and pursued his dream, and the 10-year love story of a loving husband, will be revealed! “Meeting my wife made me see myself again. I didn’t trust people well and thought I couldn’t love anyone so deeply.” Lee Dae-ho / Orix Buffaloes Infielder ■ Wins RBI King in First Year of Debut in Japan!
