To produce the Tving original , LG Uplus closely covered the LG Twins for the past year. As a large-scale project capturing an entire season of one team, more than 100 professional personnel were involved, filming a total of 144 games and about 2,500 hours. The footage alone amounts to 1.2 petabytes, equivalent to 13,200 4K (UHD) movies or 78 volumes of the U.S. Library of Congress, making it an unprecedented scale.


Various filming equipment was deployed to suit the genre characteristics of a sports documentary. Ultra-high-definition cinema cameras were used on the field, and remote robo cams were installed in the dugout to realistically capture conversations between coaches and players that could not be seen on broadcast screens. More than five cameras, including up to 8K cinema cams, matrix cams, and GoPros, were used to vividly reveal the behind-the-scenes stories of the LG Twins, from players’ small movements to strategy meetings behind the stadium, which had not been known before.

Rather than a typical documentary narration, he will deliver the dramatic story and support with witty remarks and his uniquely weighty voice. LG Uplus expects that the high-quality documentary, which combines elements of variety and reality shows with advice from a former baseball player, will receive great responses from LG Twins fans and many viewers. , consisting of a total of eight episodes, will premiere on Tving on the 30th.
