It was a pity that the Busan Air Show was cancelled, a feast of stars for ‘box-office hit + fun explosion’
The 2023 KBO League All-Star Game ended successfully amid cheers from a full crowd on Saturday night. The players brought great joy to the fans with their wonderful plays and colorful spectacles.
In the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO All-Star Game held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 15th, Kiwoom-LG-KIA-NC-Hanwha Eagles won the Dream All-Stars SSG-KT-Samsung-Lotte-Doosan 8-4. .
This All-Star Game was held in Busan for the first time in 16 years since 2007. As the weather forecast predicted heavy rain throughout the weekend in the Busan area, there were great concerns about the normal progress, but fortunately, the Futures All-Star game was held safely from the 14th.
KBO tried to provide fans with various things to enjoy. A batting zone and a pitching zone were set up in the plaza of the Sajik Baseball Stadium, and the players were scheduled to give lessons themselves. Although the lesson was not held due to rain, the fans were able to return home with various memories besides watching the All-Star game.온라인바카라
The box office was also great. In the Futures All-Star Game on the 14th, more than 10,000 fans watched the future KBO league stars play despite inclement weather.
On the day of the All-Star game, all 22,290 seats at Sajik Baseball Stadium were sold out early. At 4:11 pm, 1 hour and 49 minutes before the start of the game, it was officially announced that it was sold out.
The fan signing event that started at 3:00 PM was also hot. 240 fans selected through a lottery among the audience at the All-Star Game watched the players in front of their eyes and made unforgettable memories for the rest of their lives.
The content of the game was also interesting. Sharing All-Star Socrates (KIA) hit a 3-run homer from the bottom of the first inning, turning Sajik Baseball Stadium into a crucible of enthusiasm. At the bottom of the third inning, the atmosphere in the stadium heated up as Sharing All-Star Chae Eun-seong (Hanwha) hit a grand home run. Dream All-Star Buchanan (Samsung) finished the second half of the game as an outfielder and hitter, not as a pitcher, which was his original position.
The ‘talent’ of the players, which is hard to see normally, overflowed the ground. Kim Min-seok (Lotte) won the Performance Award for performing the dance of Jenny, a member of the girl group Black Pink who resembles him. Yoo Kang-nam (Lotte) brought laughter by mimicking the character of the drama ‘You Who Came From Another Star’, befitting the nickname of ‘Sajik Kim Soo-hyun’.
Austin Dean (LG) held a ‘dance battle’ with baseball fans through the electronic display board, and interesting scenes where players and fans were breathing were often produced.
The only regret was the cancellation of the air show of the Republic of Korea Air Force special flight team ‘Black Eagles’, which KBO worked hard to recruit.
In the aftermath of the deteriorating weather caused by the nationwide torrential rain, the ‘Black Eagles’ could not move to Busan. Initially, the All-Star Game was planned to be opened by the Black Eagles, but unfortunately, the next day was promised.
