Hwang Jae-kyun shared his thoughts on appearing in 'Tag Game' as his first fixed variety show after retiring from baseball.

On the 28th, a production presentation for Disney+ variety program 'Tag Game' was held at The Saint in Guro-gu, Seoul. Attendees included PD Hyun Jeong-wan, broadcaster and former baseball player Hwang Jae-kyun, YouTubers Panivottle, Malwang, wrestler Jang Eun-sil, announcer Park Ji-min, YouTuber Kim Ttol-ttol, singer Yang Da-il, writer and broadcaster Yoon Jun-seo, singer Ji Ji-won, actor Yoon Sang-hyun, and Lee Jun-su, son of actor Lee Jong-hyuk.

'Tag Game' is an extreme experiential chase survival variety show that combines a dopamine-fueling chase with psychological warfare from the hidden tagger.

Hwang Jae-kyun said, "I retired last December, and 'Tag Game' is my first fixed program. I was wondering how to choose my first fixed show, but then I decided I should do something I'm good at."

He continued, "This time, I chose it because I thought I could perform well physically. I felt I had to leave an impact, so I worked hard to make an impression, ran around diligently, and thought about how to push people around. Through this program, I realized that my choice was a good one."

Hwang Jae-kyun also said, "After retiring, I received offers to appear on shows. Baseball is a sport where psychological warfare—deceiving and being deceived by the opposing team—is important. 'Tag Game' is similar to baseball. It requires physical ability, and you need psychological warfare to figure out how to deceive each other and how to survive in this situation. I think there are many similarities between baseball and 'Tag Game'."

Meanwhile, 'Tag Game' will be released on the 30th via Disney+.
