(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) The box office is amazing. It’s scary. In a row, I wrote a new record of the game. The same is true for 8 million spectators. I’m talking about the KBO League. The heat cannot be prevented.
The KBO League has surpassed 8 million spectators. At the end of 460 games on the 23rd, 794,8246 people visited the baseball field. And on the 24th, he surpassed 8 million spectators through five games. Before the final aggregation, it broke through the reservation alone. It is achieved in 465 games. In 2016, the KBO League exceeded 8 million spectators for the first time. In nine years, the crowd has grown in about half of the season.
The minimum match of all games is 8 million. The previous record was built last year. The mobilization of 8 million spectators in the 2024 season, which opened the era of 10 million spectators, took place in 550 games. On the date, it was August 13. This year, this record has been ahead of 85 games. Even July is still in July.
The Korea Baseball Commission (KBO) is publishing a record of 1 million units. So far, all of them have a minimum match ever. This season’s 1 million spectators were 60 games beyond 65 games in 2012. The same is true for 2 million spectators.
In a row, all 3 to 7 million people set a minimum record. It’s a crazy face. In particular, 7 million spectators were taken before the end of the first half. It is the first time ever.
About three weeks after the record of 7 million people, it reached 8 million. There was also an all -star brake in the middle, and the rainy season canceled. Considering that, it’s an amazing figure.
By club, Samsung is attracting the most spectators. Already more than 1.1 million people. LG is followed by LG. Samsung and LG have exceeded 1 million to date.
Of course, the bottom is not only 1 million, but there are many spectators. Doosan has 900,000 spectators in front of 1 million spectators. The same is true for Lotte. There were 95,974 spectators who visited Sajik Stadium this season. KIA will be able to exceed 1 million people through three consecutive weekends.
It is a great influence that popular clubs in the country are in the top. The best marketing is called grades. Hanwha, LG, Lotte, and KIA, which are very popular, are in the fifth place. Samsung is also near fifth place.
These teams are even fiercely entangled and competing. In the second half, Hanwha went out quite a bit. Still, the bottom still bursts. All economies are important. It is natural that interest is focused. Therefore, the current explosive hit is also possible.
The rise of popular teams. And a fierce ranking fight added to it. In many ways, it is a good element of success. As a result, even the heatwave that is sweating is still unable to catch the crowd who visited the baseball field. One baseball fan I met in Daegu laughed, “It’s hot anyway. It’s better to relieve stress while cheering at the baseball field.”
Last year, 10 million spectators visited the baseball field for the first time in the KBO League history. This year, I dreamed of 10 million spectators once again. If this is a face, 10 million will be overwhelming. There are more than 12 million more than that. Indeed, it’s a great baseball. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
