There are no empty seats at LG Twins home games this season. The sellout streak has extended to 12 games.

LG announced that as of 6:30 p.m., the start time of the home game against Hanwha Eagles at Seoul Jamsil Stadium on the 22nd, the stadium was filled with 23,750 spectators, marking the 12th sellout of the season.

LG, which played its 13th home game of the season, failed to sell out only once, against SSG Landers on the 10th. Even then, the stands were filled with 23,122 spectators, nearly reaching capacity.

Last year, LG achieved a club-record 43 sellouts, drawing 1.542458 million spectators and setting a new all-time record for the franchise.

This season shows even greater momentum. While the number of sellouts remains at 12 out of 13 games, the seat occupancy rate is more impressive than last season's 91.5% and even surpasses the 99th.7% recorded during the same period last year.

In response to the fans' intense enthusiasm, the lineup delivered a powerful hit. Song Chan-ui, who was called up to the first team the previous day and hit a two-run RBI single, followed up with a go-ahead two-run home run.

Starting at eighth spot and playing right field, Song Chan-ui smashed Wang Yen-ching's 146.5 km/h outside low fastball with two outs and a runner on first in the bottom of the second inning while the score was tied 0-0. The ball traveled at 160.1 km/h, cleared the left-field fence with a distance of 124.9 meters, marking his first home run of the season.

This gave Wang Yen-ching, who has served as the ace with a 2-1 record and a 1.59 ERA over 22 2/3 innings in four games this season, his first home run allowed this year.
