The Korean baseball league achieved a new single-season attendance record on Sunday, exceeding a record set 7 years ago with over a month remaining in the season. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) reported that the season’s attendance had reached 8,407,887 as of Sunday afternoon, with all 23,750 tickets sold out for the game between the Kia Tigers and the LG Twins at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. The previous record of 8,400,688 fans from the 2017 season was surpassed, covering 720 games. The KBO set the new record on Sunday in the 569th game of the season. Teams concluded Sunday with a total of 8,475,664 fans. The game between the Hanwha Eagles and the SSG Landers in Incheon drew 22,545 fans, while the Lotte Giants hosted the Kiwoom Heroes in Busan in front of 20,740 fans. The NC Dinos and Samsung Lions played in Changwon before 12,328 fans, and the KT Wiz and Doosan Bears played in Suwon with 12,164 fans in attendance at KT Wiz Park. The Tigers-Twins game marked the 161st sellout this season, breaking a record. The league has been on a record-breaking pace this season, with multiple clubs breaking their sellout records. The Hanwha Eagles had a 17-game sellout streak and played 41 of their 60 home games in front of a full house. The KBO surpassed 6 million fans before the All-Star break for the first time and exceeded the 7-million mark on July 27, the earliest in a season to do so by over a month. For the first time in the league’s 42-year history, every club is averaging over 10,000 fans per home game, led by the LG Twins with nearly 19,400. Since the league expanded to 10 teams in 2015, the record for most clubs with a million fans is four. This year, three teams – the Twins, Doosan Bears, and Samsung Lions – have already surpassed the million mark, with the Tigers, SSG Landers, and Lotte Giants also approaching that milestone. Despite concerns, rainy weather and the July-August heat wave did not affect ticket sales. KBO teams averaged 14,832 fans in July, similar to May, and the number had increased to 15,852 fans through Saturday in August, potentially the highest monthly average for the season if it continues for another two weeks.
