A long line of fans fills up their sketchbooks, wishing the team they support good luck.
The players were truly grateful for the enthusiasm of the fans who visited Media Day in 4 years despite various adverse events.
[Lee Jung-hoo/Kiwoom outfielder: We are very grateful for the interest and support of the fans who came to Media Day a lot… .]
From neatly dressed suits to silver hip-hop necklaces, players who showed their individuality presented hot pledges.
[Oh Jae-il/Samsung infielder: Won Tae-in, Koo Ja-wook, Lee Jae-hyun and many other young players would like to have a celebratory performance at Dongseong-ro, Daegu.]
[Oh Ji-hwan/LG infielder: (I’m getting married on December 1st. Can you come and host? I was wondering if there would be.) You said it as a promise to win, but regardless of that, I will host it unconditionally.]
Fans cheered as the coaches announced the starting pitcher for the opening game and unfolded a battle of nerves.
[Lee Kang-chul/KT coach: I chose Benjamin to beat LG.]
[Yeom Gyeong-yeop/LG coach: The reason I chose Kelly was to beat KT.]
The opening match was filled with 8 foreign pitchers, excluding SSG Kim Gwang-hyun and Kiwoom An Woo-jin.
Jamsil, Incheon, Suwon, and Daegu matches have been sold out, and Gocheok Dome only has about 100 seats left, so it is certain that this year’s opening match will exceed 100,000 spectators for the second time in history after 2019.
