‘Fire Fighters’ Achieves the Unthinkable

On October 2nd, the fifth episode of the baseball variety show ‘Fire Fighters’ premiered on Studio C1’s official YouTube channel, and it made history by achieving a perfect game. Utilizing Lee Dae-eun’s brilliant pitching and Jung Eui-yoon’s powerful home run, the Fire Fighters defeated Gyeongbuk High School in a ground-breaking match.

An Unforgettable Match

The match began with the Fire Fighters on the offensive. Gyeongbuk High introduced their ace, Kang Yeon-woo, who threw fastballs exceeding 140km/h. However, the game took a turn with Jung Eui-yoon’s three-run homerun in the third inning. With Park Chan-hyung, Lim Sang-woo, and Choi Soo-hyun reaching base via walks, Lee Dae-ho and Jung Eui-yoon capitalized with hits to secure five runs.

Lee Dae-eun’s Perfect Prowess

Lee Dae-eun showcased exceptional pitching, closing out three innings with just 28 pitches. From the fourth inning, whispers of a historic no-hit game spread. Analyst Kim Sun-woo skeptically predicted a major record, while players tried to silence any jinxes with murmurs of “No complete talk”.

In the top of the seventh, after scoring two more runs thanks to hits by Lee Dae-ho, Jung Eui-yoon, and Jeong Seong-hoon, their lead expanded to 7:0. The only mystery remaining was Lee Dae-eun’s perfect game.

A Dramatic Conclusion

Coach Kim Sung-keun suggested a pitching change, but Lee Dae-eun pleaded for one last chance, promising to step down only if hit. This dramatic moment saw Lee achieving a flawless nine-inning shutout, embodying a ‘team perfect’ effort.

A Game-Changing Show

The Fire Fighters, achieving what even KBO professional teams struggle with, brought both baseball and variety show fans to their feet. The episode garnered over 100,000 views just 17 minutes post premiere, peaking at 224,000 concurrent viewers.

Next week’s episode teases the Fire Fighters facing college powerhouse Dongguk University.
