The KBO League's Lotte Giants are rekindling the meaning of environmental protection alongside 400 elementary school students from the Busan area at the baseball stadium.
Lotte announced on the 10th that it will hold the '2026 ESG Drawing and Jump Rope Competition' in collaboration with the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 27th.
The event is designed for 400 elementary school students from the Busan area. It was organized not merely to use the stadium as a venue for watching professional baseball games, but to allow children to naturally experience environmental protection and practical actions in daily life.
The competition is divided into two categories: drawing and jump rope. Participants are further categorized by grade level (lower and upper grades), with three winners selected from each of the four total categories, resulting in 12Myeong Ui (수상) winners overall.
The theme for the drawing category is 'This Is How We Practice Environmental Protection at the Baseball Stadium.' Children are encouraged to freely express environmental protection methods they can directly implement at the stadium, such as reducing single-use items and sorting trash.
The awards ceremony will take place on the Sajik Stadium field before the game. All participants will receive four tickets for entry to either the first-base or third-base outfield seats on the day of the event, allowing them to watch a professional baseball game together with their families.
For Lotte, this is another opportunity to connect with fans toward the end of the season. On the 8th, Lotte defeated the Changwon NC Dinos 6-3, ending a three-game losing streak. The team rebounded successfully thanks to Go Seung-min's game-winning two-run home run and Park Se-woong's five-inning performance allowing only three earned runs.
However, as of the conclusion on the 8th, Lotte stands at 52 wins, 2 draws, and 66 losses, remaining in eighth place. The team has also struggled recently, recording just two wins and eight losses in its last ten games. Despite the challenging situation for postseason contention, Lotte continues to engage with local fans visiting Sajik Stadium.
Applications for participation in the competition can be submitted starting at 2 p.m. on the 15th through Lotte's official website and mobile application.
