The SSG Landers have prepared a special exhibition match to satisfy fans’ thirst following a disappointing end to the season.

The SSG Landers will hold “2026 Landers Special Match – Choi-Kwang Baseball 1429” at Incheon SSG Landers Field at 5:30 p.m. on the 17th.

“Choi-Kwang Baseball 1429” is a unique season finale event exclusive to SSG, designed to express gratitude to fans for their support throughout the season and to allow players and fans to meaningfully conclude the year. Just as SSG held special exhibition matches in 2024 (“Minji Match”) and 2025 (“Seomgon Match”) using the names of the players serving as managers for both teams, this year franchise stars Choi Jung and Kim Kwang-hyun, who could not stay with the team until the end due to injuries, will serve as managers. The event name was created by combining the two players’ names and jersey numbers (14, 29).

In this exhibition match, pitchers and position players will swap positions to take the field, offering a unique spectacle similar to previous events. In particular, this year’s event has been significantly expanded in scale, adding fun variety show elements to the rivalry between Team Choi Jung and Team Kim Kwang-hyun to provide fans with a fresh kind of entertainment.

Many players who served as key contributors for the team this season will also participate. The pitching group includes 20 players such as Kim Min, Jo Byung-hyeon, and Lee Ro-yoon, while the position player group features 16 players including Oh Tae-gon, Choi Ji-hoon, and Park Sung-han, who are expected to add luster to the event.

Tickets for Choi-Kwang Baseball 1429 will be available for pre-sale through SSG.com starting at 11 a.m. on the 14th. Each person can purchase up to six tickets, and detailed information regarding the tickets will be announced later.

In addition, this year’s “Choi-Kwang Baseball 1429” will be the first club exhibition match to be live-broadcast on the sports specialty channel SPOTV. This arrangement was made to convey the joy of the season-ending event to fans who cannot visit the ballpark. Commentator Kim Min-soo and analyst Lee Dae-hyung will join the broadcast team to deliver a vivid sense of the on-site atmosphere.
