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, along with cast members: 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 role, 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 one, running around energetically and thinking about how to push people around. Through this program, I realized 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 in that regard. It requires physical ability, and you need psychological warfare to figure out how to deceive each other and 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+.
