Baseball in South Korea - Lotte Giants vs Kiwoom Heroes - Busan April 28th 2023

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) was founded in 1982 and is one of the most highly regarded leagues in the baseball world. The inaugural KBO game saw the MBC Chungyong defeat the Samsung Lions 11-7 on March 27, 1982. South Korea’s passionate “cheering culture” is a big part of the baseball experience, often making games seem more like a rock concert than a sporting event.

The Lotte Giants were founded as an amateur baseball team of the Korea Baseball Association in Seoul, South Korea on 6 May 1975. On 22 February 1982, the Giants became professional and moved to Busan, the second-largest city in South Korea. They are owned by the Lotte Corporation and have won two championships in 1984 and 1992.

To see a game in Korea is a once in a lifetime experience. You don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy a game. The crowd is there to sing and dance as well as cheer for their team. You can sample food that is only available in Busan as well as sample local beers. It’s an amazing environment and well worth a visit if you want to experience part of Korea.
