KBO's KT Wiz has even taken care of youth baseball players from its Futures League home region.

KT said on the 2nd that it concluded the 'Iksan DAY' event held during a home game against Hanwha Eagles at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 1st.

'Iksan DAY' is an event held in collaboration with Iksan City, the Futures League's home region. The team invited about 100 people to Wiz Park, including the speaker of the Iksan City Council, members of the Iksan Baseball Association, players and parents from the Iksan Little League team, the Iksan Girls' Baseball Team, and staff from the Iksan Sports Promotion Division.

Before the game that day, Kim Chung-young, speaker of the Iksan City Council, threw the ceremonial first pitch, and Im Do-hoon, a player from the Iksan Little League team, took the ceremonial first hit. Officials also organized group cheering. During the game, an inning event featuring quizzes about Iksan City was held.

Iksan City became KT's Futures League home region in 2016. Five years later, players who grew up in Iksan led the KBO League to a championship title in 2021. Last year, they won the inaugural Futures League Championship Series, the first of its kind in KBO history, further spreading Iksan City's name.

KT is also well known as a team that pays special attention to its home region. In Suwon, its first-division home region, it donates baseball equipment every year and holds events utilizing local characteristics such as the Jeongjo uniform and Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.

Meanwhile, KT collaborates with Iksan City, its Futures League home region, in various ways each year, including holding a 'Summer League' event and making donations for the community.
