Chef Jung Ji-sun attempts first pitch with a three-generation Hanwha Eagles fan family... tension builds amid special training with husband and son

Chef Jung Ji-sun, a Hanwha Eagles fan along with her family, takes on the challenge of throwing the ceremonial first pitch for the first time in her life, as revealed on KBS 2TV's "The Manager Has Donkey Ears." The Jung Ji-sun family, certifying that three generations—from father-in-law to husband and son—are Hanwha Eagles fans, prepared for the first pitch on the mound in Daejeon.

In the early stages of practice, Jung Ji-sun struggled as the ball dropped right in front of her eyes. In response, her husband Lee Yong-woo and son Lee Woo-hyung began intensive first pitch training. Her husband gave advice to correct her posture, saying, "Pull your arm back and then throw," and "Why do you keep looking up?" At one point, he bluntly said, "You have no exercise in your body," which caused the atmosphere to freeze. Jung Ji-sun confessed that she had also gotten angry when learning to drive in the past.

Her son Woo-hyung, standing 173 cm tall with size 300 mm feet, helped by adjusting his mother's posture directly, but as practice repeated, the reaction was that her skills were not improving, which brought laughter to the scene. The son also honestly commented, "It's amazing that no matter how much you practice, it doesn't get better."

At the practice site, citizens of Daejeon who recognized Jung Ji-sun gathered and requested photos. Seeing this, her son expressed surprise, saying, "I didn't know Mom would be popular even in Daejeon." The family felt the official-level popularity on site.

Whether Jung Ji-sun succeeded in throwing the first pitch on the Hanwha Eagles mound with her family's special training and support can be seen in the broadcast on the 10th. Meanwhile, "The Manager Has Donkey Ears" recorded its highest viewership rating of 6.2% in the last episode and has maintained first place in the same time slot for entertainment shows for 204 consecutive weeks. This program airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM on KBS 2TV.
