Twins first baseman confused by concept of 'The Bachelor' image

Members of the Twins held a team viewing party for ABC's reality show "The Bachelor" on Monday, and poor Byung-ho Park was so confused.

Park, a 29-year-old South Korea native, is in his first season of Major League Baseball. He previously spent 10 seasons in Korea, where he was a two-time Korea Baseball Organization MVP. 

If you aren't aware of the concept, "The Bachelor" features a single man (this season it's Ben Higgins) who has to find his soulmate from among the 28 women who were invited onto the show. Monday's show featured the final three women: Caila, Lauren B. (there were five Laurens at one point) and JoJo.

One of these women has to go, and in order to choose the right one, Higgins must take all three of them on separate dates. This concept was lost on Park.

“I didn’t understand it,” he said, via the Pioneer Press.

His teammates elaborated, as Park doesn't fully speak English.

“Park was kind of confused why the guy (Ben) kept kissing all these different girls and he’s not married or dating any of them,” second baseman Brian Dozier's wife, Renee, said. “He didn’t know what was going on.”

Park may have been confused, but he felt welcomed by the rest of the teammates who were very much enjoying the program. The three of them live-tweeted the event with the hashtag #PhilsBachelorParty.

The teammates seem excited for the finale, which airs March 14.
