Time now to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports.
Joining us in the studio is our sports editor Paul Neat.
Hello Paul.
Hello.
Let's start with football.
It's been another successful season in the French capital for Lee Kang-in.
Yes, Paris Saint-Germain are the champions of France for the fourth year in a row.
It's now two in a row for South Korean star Lee Kang-in.
PSG on Saturday sealed a 1-0 home win over Angers to secure the league title.
This meant a 22-point lead with six games to go.
Lee Kang-in has made 26 league appearances for PSG so far this season, scoring six and assisting five more than last season already.
PSG have gone unbeaten in the league so far, as well winning 23 matches from 28.
And there could be more silverware as PSG have a Champions League last eight tie with Aston Villa to come later this week, and the FIFA Club World Cup in June.
Moving on to baseball.
The KBO seems to set new attendance records all the time these days.
Yes, it does. The latest is the fastest to one million fans.
According to the KBO on Sunday, after three of the five games were sold out, there had been 1 million 59-thousand-380 fans in the stands so far after 60 games.
The previous record was 65 games set back in 2012.
There have been 30 sellouts this season so far.
There were 221 in total last year, with 10-point-8-8 million fans in total -both records.
But it's not all good news; the NC Dinos will play their next few home games elsewhere due to ongoing safety checks at their stadium in Changwon.
A fan died last week after a piece of metal hit them on the head inside the stadium.
The club had already suspended ticket sales, and the series with the SSG Landers last week was cancelled.
But now, the series with the Lotte Giants will take place at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan instead.
And finally, in Major League Baseball, Lee Jung-hoo's excellent start to the new season continues.
Yes, seven games in a row now for hits.
And two in a row for "multi-hits."
Lee Jung-hoo and the San Francisco Giants beat the Seattle Mariners 5-4 on Sunday.
Lee batted third and went two-for-four with one run scored.
Another hit also meant that he has a league-leading six doubles so far this season.
Six is also a new career high, having recorded four last year before injury ended his season early.
Lee batted 0-for-2 on the opening day but has landed hits in every game since, and 10 runs in total is the most among the Giants players.
The win was the Giants' seventh in a row, who sit top of the National League West standings at 8-1.
Great stuff. Thanks for that, Paul.
See you next week.
Thank you.
