The military benefits for baseball defense service members disappeared because of Lee Jung-jae

Looking back, it was an absurd privilege,
but baseball defense service members were allowed to play baseball after work, provided it was a home game.
(e.g., Lee Jong-beom)
To put it simply, by today's standards, it would be like An Woo-jin serving as a social service agent and acting as a pitcher during home games for Kiwoom.
This system was maintained since the league's launch in 1982,
but after Lee Jung-jae enlisted as a defense service member in late 1994,
public opinion turned sour because he would film commercials after work.
Lee Jung-jae's side countered by saying, "Don't baseball players play baseball after work anyway?"
As a result, the system was eventually abolished starting in 1995.
It is a case where a single celebrity caused an entire system to be abolished..
