On the 18th, prior to the home SSG match, KT held a special pitch and tryout event. Teachers and students commemorating the establishment day of the Provisional Government were invited.

On the 18th at Suwon KT Wiz Park, KT is in the middle of the first game of the 2023 KBO League regular season three-week series against SSG.

Prior to the game, there was a pitch/shita praying for victory. Suwon Chilbo High School was invited. Dong-eun Kim, homeroom teacher of Class 9 in Year 2, threw the first pitch, and Phillip Kim gave the tryout.

There is a story. On the 11th, on the 104th anniversary of the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, Suwon Chilbogo teacher Kim Dong-eun and students gathered their strength to paint the figure of Baekbeom Kim Gu on the playground.

This is a picture using the contrast of black and white. The students took charge of a certain part of the playground and completed the coloring through sketches and water.

It became a hot topic on the web. Upon hearing this, KT invited the main character. Teacher Kim Dong-eun, who is in charge of art, carried out the project as a group to commemorate Valentine’s Day, White Day, and Black Day, while forgetting the date of the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea on April 11th.

KT said, “I found out that teachers and students had a meaningful activity at Chilbo High School in the Suwon area. In the hope that the good meaning would be widely known, I invited the teacher and the representative student as the first pitcher,” he explained.

Kim Dong-eun, who threw the first pitch, said, “Actually, this is not the first time. A similar thing was done on the 70th anniversary of liberation. This year, we were able to celebrate the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, which must be remembered as our students followed along well. Thank you to our 2nd grade class 9 children for being with us.”

He continued, “At first, I started it to give young people a sense of history, but I hope this opportunity will serve as an opportunity for baseball fans and more people to be interested.” 안전놀이터

Student Phillip Kim, who performed the trial, said, “It was difficult while working on the project at first, and I was looking forward to seeing the results. Later, Mr. Kim Gu’s picture came out cool, so I was proud.”

Also, “I think I will remember April 11, the date of the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, for the rest of my life. It is an honor to have that opportunity to come to the ballpark today.”

In fact, KT wanted to invite everyone who participated in the project. However, the current school is a test period. It was an important time, so it was not easy to come as a group.

A KT official said, “I wanted to invite everyone, but it was not possible. Isn’t the test period unavoidable? We plan to hold an event inviting students next time.” raining99@sportsseoul.com
