On MBC's Playlist 109, little baseball players share the songs that steady them before games, from Woo Won-je's Time Difference to Lee Seung Gi's Smile Boy.
Steadying hearts with Woo Won-je's 'Time Difference'
Players from a little baseball team appeared on MBC's Playlist 109 and shared stories about the music that helped them overcome their individual worries.
The most eye-catching moment was the response from one player who mentioned Woo Won-je's 'Time Difference'. This player revealed that they listen to this song when feeling exhausted. It wasn't simply because the song is good, but because they interpreted the meaning within the lyrics in their own way.
After asking, "Doesn't the meaning of that time difference refer to something like time zones?", the player said, "It is a song that allows me to reset my mindset with the belief that we won't just be shining alone, but can all grow together when we listen to it."
Due to the child's profound answer, reactions at the scene included, "They could even do an interview as a national team captain."
Lee Seung Gi's 'Smile Boy' melting away the tension
There were also songs that helped overcome the tension that comes with every tournament. One player shared that they started listening to Song Chan-i's 'Smile Boy' to reduce nervousness. It was a sincere confession of how they use this song to steady their minds before entering a game.
The children's musical tastes were diverse. They presented playlists filled with their own stories, ranging from exciting songs to tracks that evoke memories. The video concluded with images of the children training under the sunlight, accompanied by warm advice wishing them good health.
