Wow~ Pitcher Kim Byung- hyun of the Arizona Diamondbacks

in Major League Baseball is going to set foot on a World

Series field as the first Korean. Major League pitcher Kim Byung- hyun of

Florida has achieved the 50th win of his personal career. Wow~ That goes

pretty far back in history.

Since 2004, back when I was playing in the States,

I was running a sushi, a Japanese restaurant in San Diego, then I

came back to Korea…

and I ran a steakhouse, a ramen place, a Thai place, and a burger

joint, wow, you really did a lot. Wow~ Are you like a

serial founder? The sushi place, I still run it now with my partner hyung,

and before that we had it up to three places, but now we’ve wound two of them

down and I’m running one of them together right now. The steakhouse,

I think that was around the time

when the mad cow disease situation was going on. The ramen shop,

because of the boycott- Japan movement, back then… wow, I had a lot

of bad luck. And then originally, before, we were actually inside the KIA Tigers

baseball stadium, and I opened a burger place there, and…

this, this was big. From what I saw,

that one really should’ve done well, it actually was doing really well.

But then COVID hit right then, so because games were held with no

spectators for about one, two years, I think… Oh, so it was without fans?

Oh my goodness. This one was really, really unlucky.

Yes, the losses back then were just enormous, it was really big.

Uh~ I shouldn’t be a serial

entrepreneur, but… ah… Honestly, my wife doesn’t really know.

She doesn’t really know, huh?

Right, she wouldn’t know.

I’ve never properly told her anything.

You’ve never talked about it even once?

No, like that… yeah. Oppa?

Oppa? Uh, no, why are you so surprised? Oh my, you’re here.

I was so curious about your wife.

But he even hid his wife from us.

So we were like,“ Does he even have a wife?” That’s how much he hides her…

How come you didn’t know? Seriously, this is my first time seeing her too.

I’ve never met her once. Oppa?

Oh~ she’s so pretty.

You were trying to do another interview without me, right?

Ah, no, that’s not it. And in the morning you even told me not to come.

Uh, no… Hello, I’m Kim Byung- hyun’s wife, Han Kyung- min.

Oh, you’re so beautiful. You seem like you’d be super bubbly. You’re so cute.

She’s nice. But honestly, I sometimes think,“ Am I something to be

embarrassed about?”

There were so many times I lived thinking that way, was I ashamed of myself?

There were so many times I lived thinking that way, even introducing

my own acquaintances Honestly,

in fifteen years I barely saw anyone,

we even said we would not have a wedding… Huh?

You did not

have a wedding?
