South Korean professional baseball has reached a new milestone, surpassing 10 million fans in a season for the first time ever.
Thanks in large part to the power of the 2030 female fans who are attracted to the intuitive culture of the baseball field, fan interest has expanded beyond the players to the entire organization, from the managers and coaching staff to the front desk.
As the popularity of professional baseball continues to soar, KBS conducted a 'fun survey' among baseball fans.
The topic of the survey of 150 baseball fans, including 2030 spectators who watched baseball for the first time this season, was “Baseball managers that MZ generation doesn't want to meet as their boss.
Given that the survey participants were limited to the Seoul metropolitan area and that the teams they supported were not performing well during the survey period (two weeks from August 27), the results should be taken with a grain of salt.
As for the reasons why they chose the manager, there were a lot of harsh answers, which is typical of young people in the 2030s.
According to the survey results, 파워볼실시간 LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yup was the top choice of 44 out of 150 respondents (29.3%).
“I think he'll nag a lot,“ ‘I think he'll think ’I'm not wrong‘ even though I don't know him well,” and more, with one participant adding a TMI explanation: “When I point out Lotte's Kim Won-joong's pitching motion to the umpire, he makes me think, ’I don't want to be scolded so publicly.
After Yoon Kyung-yup, SSG Landers manager Lee Sung-yong (30 votes - 20.0%) was the second most avoided manager by Generation MZ baseball fans. “I think he will give incomprehensible work instructions,” ‘I think he will openly point out the faults of his teammates,’ and ”I think it will be difficult to have him as a boss in my company.
Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop and KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-cheol tied for third place with 23 votes (15.3%) each. Comments such as “He is a genius and elite, so it will be difficult for his subordinates to follow or understand his abilities” and “He will emphasize performance without realizing that his subordinates are overworked.” Although Lee declared an all-out war at the end of the season, Doosan's losing streak during the survey period may have contributed to the harsh responses.
“I feel like I'm suffocating” and ‘I feel like I'm going to scold someone below me when I'm doing my job’ were some of the comments about Lee Kang-cheol. “He's humorous, but sometimes you can see a really scary side to him,” said one respondent of Lotte's Kim Tae-hyung, while another said of Hanwha's Kim Kyung-moon, ”I don't think he's flexible after giving work instructions.”
Regular-season champion KIA manager Lee Bum-ho received eight votes (5.3%) to tie for seventh place with NC coach Kang In-hwon, while Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki, the first team to be eliminated from the fall baseball season, received three votes (2.0%) to finish ninth. With baseball fans focusing more on the overall team management and leadership than on immediate results, it will be interesting to see if their opinions will remain the same after the postseason.
