In “Master in the House” (집사부일체), the butlers singer / actor Lee Seung Gi (이승기), BTOB’s Yook Sungjae (육성재), actor Lee Sang Yoon (이상윤) and comedian Yang Sehyung (양세형) are given the opportunity to practice and hone their baseball skills with retired legendary baseball player Master Park Chanho (박찬호) in his hometown of Gongju, specifically in Mount Gyeryong where his parents who are chestnut farmers still live. Although Master Park Chanho now lives in the US with his wife and three daughters, he has not forgotten his Korean roots and every October or November during his off-season as adviser to MLB team San Diego Padres, he returns to Korea to help his parents pick chestnuts. He is grateful for chestnuts as they helped his parents earn a living in order to raise him and his brother and as such, he does not throw away leftover chestnuts even if they become rotten. To celebrate Master Park Chanho joining the Dodgers in the American MLB in 1994, the first Korean to do so, his parents planted a myriad of gingko trees which have now been growing for thirty years. As Master Park Chanho explains, gingko trees have the strongest roots and can survive the harshest conditions and it was his parents hope that Master Park Chanho settles down well and put down roots in his new country. Despite living in a new country, the importance of cherishing and paying homage to your original roots is a lesson that Master Park Chanho wants to pass to his daughters, as he emphasises: "The idea of root is very important to me. My daughters live in the US. But I want them to know where they originally come from. I want them to know who their parents are, who their grandparents are, and in what culture their parents grew. I try to teach them that. When you are in the US, you don't get to experience this. So it makes me think a lot about how I can teach them".
