Can the SSG Landers deliver a special gift to the 'Sseuk-rin' who filled the stadium on Children's Day?

On the 5th, the SSG Landers achieved their sixth sellout crowd of the season (23,000 seats) in a home game against the NC Dinos at the Incheon SSG Landers field as part of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

To mark Children's Day, all seats at the SSG Landers field were sold out well in advance, demonstrating intense baseball enthusiasm. With this, SSG has achieved sellout crowds for the opening two-game series against the KIA Tigers on March 28–29, and the series against the Lotte Giants from the 1st–3.

This series features the 'NBB Family Day' collaboration event, which SSG has been running with Shinsegae Food for five years under the Koo Dan (CEO) partnership.

In particular, to commemorate Children's Day, the entire baseball stadium was transformed into a theme-park-style space for family visitors, and the team will take the field wearing the newly unveiled '2026 Yellow Edition Uniform' to mark the event's fifth anniversary.

Additionally, at the first-base plaza 'Frontier Square', various experience facilities for child visitors, including Jenga block play and pond fishing, as well as a large hamburger sculpture photo zone, were prepared. On Children's Day only, an outdoor table seating area with 400 seats and an NBB burger truck were operated, and a variety of customized events were arranged, including the broadcast of the players' childhood photos on the scoreboard.

The SSG Landers sit in third place with 17 wins and 13 losses but are currently on a three-game losing streak.

To break the losing streak, starting pitcher Min Jun will take the mound. Although he was named a temporary starter due to injuries among other players and has taken on the role of the fifth starter, he has delivered impressive pitching this season with a 1–1 record and a 1.54 ERA in five games.

The batting lineup is arranged as follows: Park Sung-han (shortstop), Jung Jun-jae (second baseman), Choi Jeong (third baseman), Guillermo Heredia (left fielder), Han Yu-seom (designated hitter), Choi Ji-hoon (center fielder), Oh Tae-gon (first baseman), Choi Jun-woo (right fielder), and Jo Hyung-woo (catcher).
