Kim Woo-bin and Ryu Seung-ryong, two prominent K-drama actors, have recently found themselves sharing a common thread in their upcoming projects - baseball. In December, Kim will be seen as a former baseball player who coaches a high school team in the tvN drama "Gift". Ryu, on the other hand, will play a famous baseball player in the upcoming film "Portrait of a Family".
This trend is not limited to just these two actors. Gong Myoung is currently filming MBC drama "Your Ground" where he plays a pitcher, and Kim Rae-won will be seen as a coach in SBS drama "Full Count". These baseball-themed projects are part of a growing trend in the Korean entertainment industry, with more such projects in the pipeline, including "Green Light" and "Sunning Baseball Club".
