Hyun-Jin Ryu "Sings" and Struggles in "Smile Again"

The Dodgers' Korean teddy bear / rookie sensation Hyun-Jin Ryu made his K-Pop debut today, teaming up and "singing" with K-pop stars to raise money for charity. While it's great to see Ryu act all awkward in the Dodgers dugout (see below), it's a little painful to see him act like a seventh-grader at his first junior high school dance when standing next to his K-pop costar. She's doing the obligatory flirting... and he is having none of it. Unless he's playing the "ignore her" game to make her want him even more. In that case, playaaaaaaaaaa!!



Nevertheless, famously stoic on the field, Ryu finally gives us his emotional struggle face (credit: Chad Moriyama):

Hopefully we'll see a lot more of that face in 2014. And hope to see a lot more of this as well...
