'Same Bed Different Dreams2' revealed that former baseball player Yoon Seok-min holds both records: the highest salary in KBO history and the largest salary cut ever.

In an episode of SBS's variety program 'Same Bed Different Dreams2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereinafter 'Same Bed Different Dreams2'), broadcast on the 25th, Yoon Seok-min appeared and discussed his playing career and salary records.

On that day, Yoon Seok-min stated, "I played professionally from 2005 for 14 years. It wasn't a long career, but in 2015, I did earn the highest salary among all KBO players for just one year."

He continued, "Just before retiring, I set another record," confessing, "I retired after setting the record for the largest salary cut in professional baseball history. That record still stands unbroken." Kim Goo-ra dropped a blunt remark, saying, "They paid you so much, but you performed so poorly," which drew laughter.

Yoon Seok-min revealed the specific amount of the cut: "My salary was reduced by 1.05 billion won at that time." He then added, "While watching baseball seasons, I think about two things. If a pitcher appears near the end of the season who seems poised to win four major titles, I worry, 'I hope my record isn't broken.'"

He further shared, "Conversely, when a player who was performing well suddenly starts failing, I think, 'I hope my salary cut record isn't broken either.'" This honest admission about wanting to protect both his top performance and his largest salary cut record brought laughter.
