Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin (58) visited the construction site of "Starfield Cheongna," which will be the home stadium of SSG Landers in professional baseball.

According to SSG Landers and Shinsegae Group, Chairman Chung visited the construction site of "Starfield Cheongna" under construction in Incheon's Cheongna International City on the 23rd to check the progress of the project.

Starfield Cheongna is the world's first super-large complex leisure space where a 23,000-seat multi-stadium, hotel, Infinity Pool, and shopping mall are connected at once. It is the largest among Starfields, with a total floor area of 150,000 pyeong, from 3 basement floors to 8 ground floors. Once completed, SSG Landers will use the multi-stadium as its home stadium starting in 2028.

Unlike the existing dome stadium, the multi-stadium is building a hotel and Infinity Pool together in the stadium. The hotel and Infinity Pool are located on the left when viewed from the grandstand on the home plate side of the baseball stadium. According to SSG, you can watch baseball in your hotel room and enjoy the game while immersed in Infinity Pool. The right side of the ballpark will be connected to the shopping mall.

The current process rate is 40%, and the roof construction, the symbol of multi-stadium, is planned to be carried out during the first half of this year. The completion is scheduled for the end of 2027 and aims to open officially in early 2028.

The multi-stadium architecture designer is DLA+ Architecture & Interior Design, a global sports designer based in Pittsburgh, USA. Cases of domed stadiums built with cutting-edge technology abroad, such as the United States and Japan, were referenced. SSG said, "We have applied a design that reinforces 'immersiveness' and 'sense of reality' so that not only baseball games but also various contents such as K-pop performances and large-scale cultural events can be held."

Chairman Chung, who looked around major spots and shopping malls in the stadium, said, "I always wanted to have at least one stadium in Korea where I could hold concerts of world-class artists, including the WBC that just got off recently," adding, "If Starfield Cheongna is completed, it will be the reason why many foreigners from all over the world visit Korea."

According to SSG, "Starfield Cheongna" aimed to be a landmark that not only domestic but also foreign tourists could find. "Starfield, which newly defined Korea's complex shopping mall, has taken on a new challenge called 'K-leisure entertainment' this time," Chairman Chung said. "Giving customers a new experience is the way to expand the 'new world' in their minds."

Chairman Chung is known to have paid special attention to the construction site of the connection to the shopping mall. It also carefully examined the grass and spectator chairs that will be laid on the ground of the ballpark. According to SSG, 'Starfield Cheongna', which is combined with multi-stadium, also has a responsibility to define a 'leisure entertainment shopping mall' in Korea. Therefore, it is rumored that Chairman Chung believes that the result of a new concept complex space is important, but the process of achieving it is also very important.

Chairman Chung, who left the scene and asked for safety first, said, "Another dream is ripe to represent our future. Please take pride and responsibility in building a multi-stadium that will become a landmark representing Korea."

Safety comes first above all else, he said, adding, "We will have the 'world's best' quality to match the title of the world's first multi-stadium that combines sports, leisure, and shopping."
