Hah Won-mi, the wife of former baseball player Shin-Soo Choo, is bursting with charm.
The MBC entertainment program ‘Radio Star’, airing on the 12th at 10:30 PM, will feature a special episode titled ‘Unlimited Challenge’ with guests Park Kyung-rim, Sun-ye, Hah Won-mi, and Jung Dong-won.
Hah Won-mi, who is the wife of former baseball player ‘Choo Choo Train’ Shin-Soo Choo, is currently active as a YouTuber and Pilates instructor. Her husband, Shin-Soo Choo, made history as the first Asian major leaguer to hit 200 home runs, and recently appeared on ‘Radio Star’ where he expressed his special love for his wife, Hah Won-mi, who endured tough times with him, causing a big stir.
Hah Won-mi humorously reveals that she “gave up her overseas schedule to appear on ‘Radio Star’,” igniting her passion for entertainment. She shares various episodes from her life as a YouTuber who now shouts ‘like, comment, subscribe, and ring the bell’ instead of just being known as ‘Shin-Soo Choo’s wife’.
She captures attention by recounting how she followed Shin-Soo Choo to the U.S. when he entered the minor leagues during her college years and ended up not returning to Korea. She reveals an unexpected reason: “I was scared,” and confesses that she was anxious about getting scolded by her parents since she was pregnant at the time. Her candid story about briefly returning to Korea to register their marriage before quickly heading back to the U.S. had the audience in stitches.
Additionally, Hah Won-mi offers a different interpretation of the heartfelt story Shin-Soo Choo shared on ‘Radio Star’, making everyone laugh. Regarding Shin-Soo’s expression of regret about living with other players in a shared dorm during his minor league days, she stated, “(Living together) was actually fun,” explaining, “When else would I get to live with such wonderful foreigners?” which reportedly turned the studio into a sea of laughter.
In particular, she surprised everyone by revealing that she showcased their 5,500-pyeong U.S. home using a drone. Hah Won-mi mentioned that it took about three years to build this house, which initially started at 100 pyeong but expanded to 5,500 pyeong due to Shin-Soo’s additional requests, and that they received enticing offers after its completion.
Hah Won-mi confessed that a ‘Texas oil tycoon’ who had the opportunity to tour their home wanted to buy it with an additional 2 billion won, which left her in a dilemma, and she explains why she ultimately rejected the offer.
Captivating everyone with her unique cheerful and cool storytelling, she shares a shocking experience she had while living in the U.S. She talks about the extreme stress that led her to a ‘risk of blindness’ and humorously recounts an incident where she exploded in frustration and cursed alone on a walking path while supporting Shin-Soo.
Moreover, Hah Won-mi also reveals that she received advances from men at the baseball stadium. While watching Shin-Soo’s game from the stands, she was approached by American spectators, which led to her receiving a ‘big ring’ from Shin-Soo. She also mentioned that she received advances from Korean spectators while watching his games in Korea, which surprised everyone.
