The official countdown to KT Wiz, the newest franchise in professional baseball, reaching its first-ever 10 thousand won home attendance has officially begun.

On the 18th, KT recorded a sold-out crowd of 10,000 at its home game against LG Twins at Suwon KT Wiz Park. According to the team, all 18,700 seats were sold by around 7 p.m. This marks the 23rd sellout of the season.

With today's attendance included, KT's cumulative home attendance for the 2026 season has reached 867,373 fans. Exactly 132,627 more fans are needed to reach the long-anticipated milestone of 10 thousand won since the team's founding. This is no longer just a dream but a fully calculable goal.

Based on the confirmed schedule, KT has nine home games remaining in Suwon after today. Starting with a two-game series against Doosan Bears on the 19th and 20th, followed by matchups against NC Dinos on the 23rd and 24th, and Kiwoom Heroes on the 26th. Afterward, the team will host three consecutive home games against Lotte Giants from October 3 to 5, with a game against Samsung Lions scheduled for the 7th.

To gather an additional 132,627 fans across nine games, an average of approximately 14,736 fans per game is required. This represents about 79% of Suwon KT Wiz Park's total capacity of 18,700 seats. Maintaining an average seat occupancy rate of around 80% in the remaining games would allow the team to surpass the 1st million attendance mark.

The momentum is also favorable. Last year, KT recorded 970,041 home fans, setting a new franchise record, but fell short of 10 thousand won by 29,059 fans. At that time, the team achieved 24 sellouts in a single season and nine consecutive sellouts, confirming its potential. This year, the goal is even closer. As of the LG game on the 18th, KT has already recorded 23 sellouts, with nine home games still remaining.

Performance also supports the excitement. As of the game on the 18th, KT leads the league alone with a record of 76 wins, 4 draws, and 46 losses, boasting a winning percentage of 0.623. They are 2.5 games ahead of second-place Samsung. With the possibility of a tight race for the regular-season title continuing until the final stretch, there is ample reason for fans to visit Suwon.

In line with the 1st million attendance countdown, KT has prepared an event offering free Skybox invitation tickets for the next season to customers who booked between the 910th,000th and 990,000th seats in units of 10,000. The 10 thousand wonth ticket buyer will receive a 2027 season pass and Skybox usage rights as a gift.
