Ahead of the highly anticipated start of the Korea Series, which will determine the top spot in autumn baseball, a special platform for communication will be opened where baseball fans can directly pose questions to the team managers and star players.

The KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) announced that it will hold the “2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Korea Series Media Day” at 2 p.m. on the 2nd in the Grand Ballroom on the third floor of the Suwon Ramada Plaza Hotel.

At this media day, KT Wiz, who advanced directly to the Korea Series as the regular season leader and are aiming for their first combined championship in five years since the 2021 season, will face off against Samsung Lions, who are stepping onto the Korea Series stage again after a two-year gap following the 2024 season.

For KT, Manager Lee Kang-cheol will be joined by catcher Jang Sung-woo and domestic ace So Hyeong-jun. Facing them, Samsung’s Manager Park Jin-man, captain Koo Ja-yuk, and ace Won Tae-in are scheduled to take the stage to express their unwavering resolve.

Notably, this event features not only a Q&A session with reporters but also a fan participation segment that has drawn attention. Questions from baseball fans directed at both teams’ managers and players will be collected in advance through KBO’s official Instagram and delivered directly on site. Fans whose questions are selected will have the opportunity to hear live answers from the managers and players via the live broadcast, and will also receive a small gift later. Details on how to participate in the event can be found on KBO’s official Instagram.

In addition, both team managers will make a surprise announcement of their starting pitchers for Game 1 of the Korea Series at the media day venue. At the end of the event, the managers and players from both teams will take commemorative photos with the Korea Series championship trophy placed between them.

Meanwhile, this “2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Korea Series Media Day” will be live-broadcast through sports specialty channels including SPOTV (producer), SPOTV2, KBSN Sports, MBC Sports Plus, and SBS Sports, as well as the online/offline platform TVING.
