Kiwoom Heroes celebrates the strong first step of its 2027 rookie players, who will lead the team's future, and makes their debut appearance to home fans.

Kiwoom Heroes announced on the 2nd that it will hold a 2027 rookie welcome event titled "Heroes' First Step" at the home game against KT Wiz scheduled for the 6th at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.

The event will feature 12 rookies and development players, including pitcher Ha Hyun-seung, who was selected with the first overall pick in the 2027 KBO Rookie Draft, along with their families. The club has prepared a variety of programs to help the new heroes build pride as professional players and quickly integrate into the team.

The rookie players and their families will first tour key first division facilities such as the dugout, bullpen, and weight room, before exchanging greetings with veteran teammates for the first time. This will be followed by a mentoring program in which veteran players take on the role of mentors to share know-how and advice on professional life.

An official first meeting with fans is also prepared. The players will conduct an official first fan signing session for 50 fans selected through pre-registration in the corridor inside Gate C.

The event also includes a gratitude ceremony for parents who have been a solid pillar of support for their children. The rookie players plan to share meaningful memories by personally presenting gifts they prepared to their parents, who have devoted themselves to supporting them behind the scenes.

The highlight of the day's event will take place after the end of the bottom of the fifth inning. Rookie players watching the game from the stands will climb onto the first base cheering platform during cleaning time to deliver their first greetings and boldly declare their debut ambitions to home fans visiting Gocheok Dome.

After the game concludes, the rookie team and their families will gather on the field at Gocheok Sky Dome to take a group commemorative photo, marking the completion of the "Heroes' First Step" schedule.
