Doosan Bears outfielder Lee Beom-su embodies the ultimate ‘analog human,’ maintaining zero social media presence in a digital age.
TV Spotlight Reveals Digital Disconnect
Lee Beom-su joined SBS’s ‘My Little Old Boy’ as a new regular, fully immersing himself in the role. His candid revelations about avoiding all online platforms drew massive attention and boosted his popularity.
Fans celebrated his analog status by gifting a ‘login’ themed backpack, hailing him as the world’s premier tech-averse celebrity.
He detailed everyday digital hurdles, including OTT logins, app usage, and email navigation, underscoring his complete unfamiliarity.
Kiosk Hell and Tearful Ticket Struggle
In a tense studio moment, Lee attempted to secure tickets for the ‘Digital K-pop Wave’ concert using a cheering mousepad. Overwhelmed by anxiety, he failed to locate the cursor and shed tears in frustration.
To experience the event, he urgently appealed to the public for help, highlighting the crisis in Kiwoom’s kiosk zone where his large build and limited mobility compounded the challenge.
His mother admitted, ‘I rarely buy tickets online either,’ revealing a hereditary aversion to digital transactions.
Die-Hard Eagles Fan Faces Scalper Woes
A longtime supporter of the pro baseball team Eagles since its founding, Lee visited their home stadium pre-game to sharpen focus. Yet, the unfamiliar atmosphere dampened his spirits.
Tickets vanish online within moments, with resale dominated by scalpers offering sparse stock at inflated prices. Even special Eagles uniforms require app purchases tied to event tickets, trapping fans in a vicious cycle.
Lee confidently assured fellow Eagles supporters of no shortcuts despite his stature.
Studio Chaos and Upcoming Login Challenge
The audience erupted with cries of ‘No pity—give accurate info!’, ‘Do it just for him!’, and ‘Include my fans too!’ as reactions poured in.
Unable to log in even the day before, Lee eyes relief through fan mockups or direct aid. Eagles loyalists anticipate his breakthrough during the May 3 broadcast of ‘My Little Old Boy’ at 9 p.m.
