A baseball team featuring many celebrities has become a major source of public attention. ‘The Playboys’ has had veteran actor Kim Seung-woo listed as the team captain. Jang Dong-gunJung Woo-sungGong Hyung-jinHwang Jung-minLee Jong-hyukOh Man-seokHyun Bin and Han Jae-suk among others are listed as members.

‘The Playboys’ are active in a relatively low-intensity league. The long-running baseball team appears to exist mainly for social reasons, as the various members like to unwind and have dinner together after a game. The generally private nature of the team is such that references to it in variety shows are rare. Oh Man-seok mentioned once in a 2014 tvN variety show that Jang Dong-gun and Hyun Bin have the strongest throwing arms.

The team still exists and plays to this day. There is much turnover, because actors periodically leave the team owing to scheduling commitments. There’s a waiting list for new members, as the team is seen as beneficial for actors trying to network.
