While South Korea made a dramatic advance to the quarterfinals at the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), KBS commentator Park Yong-taek performed a live performance of tears and was crowned "Ulbo-taek."

Park Yong-taek, KBS commentator Lee Dae-dae and caster Lee Dong-geun broadcast live the match against Australia in the final match of the 2026 WBC qualifying round on KBS 2TV from 7 p.m. on the 9th. The match against Australia began under difficult conditions to advance to the quarterfinals only when "winning by less than two runs and more than five points."

From the pre-show, "baseball mania" Kim Gu-ra, Hong Ju-yeon announcer, and commentator Cho Sung-hwan cheered and helped the national team under pressure.

Unfortunately, Kim Gu-ra comforted the national team, which has to consider the "number of cases" that will go to the quarterfinals after two consecutive losses, saying, "Even if it hasn't been done often, we can go on time." He also said, "Have we ever been easy. "If it's 7 to 2 today, it's perfect," Cho Sung-hwan said, "It's a happy number. If that happens, we can go to Miami," he replied. Kim Gu-ra strongly cheered, saying, "Not only a crazy player like Kim Do-young, but I hope everyone goes crazy and does well like an infectious disease."

In the game that began amid tension, Moon Bo-kyung stepped up as a troubleshooter. In the top of the second inning, Moon Bo-kyung hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat with Ahn Hyun-min on base to bring in a 2-0 lead. In the third inning, Moon Bo-kyung made it 4-0 with a precious double and steadily approached Miami, and added a timely hit in the fifth inning to widen the score to 5-0.

In response to Moon Bo-kyung's performance, Lee Dae-hyung praised him, saying, "I don't think I'll be blocked by any pitcher." Park Yong-taek exclaimed, "I think you just touch it, but it goes out like that," while caster Lee Dong-geun cheered by scoring five points and saying, "I've filled the points to reach the quarterfinals."

Australia's first score came in the bottom of the fifth inning when Australia's leadoff hitter Robbie Glendinning hit a solo home run, but South Korea ran away again 6-1 thanks to Kim Do-young's timely hit in the top of the sixth inning. However, Australia persistently followed by adding one point in the eighth inning, and only in the ninth inning, Ahn Hyun-min's sacrifice flyout and Park Hae-min's home run confirmed a 7-2 Korean victory. In the end, South Korea won by five points over two points, and hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals became a reality.

In KBS Sports YouTube content "Right Behind," which will be held live right after the game, Park Yong-taek couldn't speak properly because he was sobbing. "It's Ulbo-taek's appearance," Lee Dae-hyung said with a smile, adding, "Honestly, today was my life game while playing baseball."

Park Yong-taek, who cried for a long time, said, "The national team lost the previous two games by one point, but I know how well our players prepared. I was denigrated that the results weren't coming out like that," he said, expressing his past troubles.

In addition, he said, "No matter how much I say the other way around, I'm eliminated from the national team," about his shocking remarks before the tournament because of his nickname 'Peletac', which is often the opposite. "I definitely thought we could reach the quarterfinals, so I shouted that," he explained.

"I really couldn't sleep since yesterday," said Park Yong-taek, who cried again. "Now, I'm going to the quarterfinals. "I'm out of the semifinals," he once again made a bombshell remark like "Pelletac." Lee Dae-hyung couldn't hold back his laughter, saying, "Then aren't we going to the final?"

In the live comments section of "Right Behind" live, as many as 12,000 baseball fans enjoyed "Victory Night" by giving Park Yong-taek various nicknames such as "Ulbo-taek," "Unfair Ul-taek," "Eun-taek," "Pueng-taek" and "Explanation-taek."

Commissioner Lee Dae-hyung said, "Please watch the quarterfinals on KBS," and caster Lee Dong-geun ended the live, saying, "If you don't mind, you may cry during the actual broadcast."

2026 WBC will be held until the 18th. The Korean national team, which has advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in 17 years, will face No. 1 in Group D at 7:30 a.m. on the 14th (Korea time).
