The KBO League's Kia Tigers will invite 2,000 military personnel from Gwangju and Jeonnam this year as well. This marks the fifth consecutive year.
On the 16th, Kia announced, "In observance of the Month of National Defense and Veterans, we will invite military personnel from the Gwangju and Jeonnam region to attend the home game against the LG Twins at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 18th, providing game viewing and snacks."
Since 2022, Kia has organized military personnel invitation events as part of its social contribution activities, and this year it will continue the meaningful event by inviting military personnel.
The military personnel invited to the game on this day are the main defenders of the territory, territorial waters, and airspace of the Gwangju and Jeonnam region, including the 31st Infantry Division, the 3rd Fleet Command, and the 1st Tactical Air Wing. All 2,000 military personnel are scheduled to watch the baseball game and hold a cheering session from the third-base side stands.
A Kia team official said, "We are honored to continue the military personnel invitation event that began in 2022 this year," and added, "We hope this will bring some joy to the military personnel who always dedicate themselves to the nation from behind the scenes."
