Professional baseball team Lotte Giants has stepped up to support students from vulnerable groups and multicultural families.

Lotte announced on the 1st that it signed a mutual cooperation agreement with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power's Hanwha Suwon Nuclear Power Plant on April 29 to promote regional coexistence and held the "Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Match Day" event.

This social contribution agreement, effective from 2025, will target youth baseball teams, vulnerable groups, multicultural families, and local organizations around the Hanwha Suwon Nuclear Power Plant in Busan Metropolitan City, where Lotte is based. The event was organized to expand the reach of baseball and enhance local residents' understanding of eco-friendly nuclear energy.

According to Lotte, the key terms of the agreement include securing dedicated seating for a regional coexistence baseball viewing program and implementing outdoor advertising within the stadium. It also provides opportunities to promote continued operation and dry storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel, as well as to publicize nuclear energy information.

Hanwha Suwon Nuclear Power Plant stated that as part of its regional coexistence social contribution activities, it will operate dedicated seating for all Lotte Giants home games during the 2026 season.

The signing ceremony was held on April 29 at 6 p.m. at Sajik Baseball Stadium ahead of a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes, with Lee Sang-wook, head of Hanwha Suwon Nuclear Power Plant, and Lotte Giants officials in attendance.

Following the signing ceremony, the "Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Match Day" event took place. During the game, there was a segment to introduce Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power through an "OX Quiz Event." Additionally, spectators visiting Sajik Baseball Stadium were given special commemorative gifts and leaflets promoting continued operation and SF dry storage.

Meanwhile, a special ceremonial first pitch was held to commemorate the agreement. The ceremonial first pitch was performed by athlete Park Se-ho, a recipient of the Republic of Korea Medal, who won two gold medals in the shot put and discus throw events at the 1988 Seoul Paralympics. The ceremonial first hit was taken by Kim Ye-won, a member of the Gijang County Little League team who dreams of becoming a member of the South Korean women's national baseball team.
