The 2025 Shinhan Sol Bank KBO League has been a hit since the opening two consecutive games held from May 22 to May 23. A total of 219,900 spectators entered the five stadiums for two days. The number of spectators is the highest ever in the two consecutive games.안전놀이터

Tickets at five stadiums dispersed in Jamsil, Incheon, Suwon, Daegu and Gwangju were all sold out during the two days. It is also the first time that all of the games in the opening two consecutive games have been sold out. The success story of the KBO League has been extended to a sensation since the opening two consecutive games of the 2025 season.

The boom also resulted in three consecutive games during the week. The match between the Hanwha Eagles and the LG Twins held on Saturday was sold out in less than 30 minutes after the game began. It is not common for games to be sold out on Tuesday, the first of the three consecutive games during the week.

Although it was not sold out, 21,024 spectators, more than 20,000, entered the NC Dinos-Samsung Lions match held in Daegu on weekdays. A total of 81,828 spectators were gathered at the five stadiums where the game was held on the 25th. The 2025 KBO League recorded a cumulative audience of 301,728 in 15 games after the opening.

If this momentum continues, the KBO League could set another record related to spectators. It is the "least 1 million spectators in an all-time game." Attention is already focusing on how soon it will surpass the 1 million spectators mark, which is the first step in counting the number of spectators in the KBO League season.

Last year (final 10,887,705), when the number of spectators reached 10 million for the first time in history, reached 1 million in just 70 games. On April 9 last year, 64,877 spectators entered the five games, bringing the total number of spectators to 1,012,624 on the day.

It was in the early days of the season with a variety of favorable factors. Hanwha pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the KBO League after 11 years of MLB career, and led his team to a box office boom in the early days of this season. KIA Tigers, which boasts a wide fan base, cruised throughout the early days of this season, exerting great power to attract spectators. 

Since the inauguration of the 10-team system in 2015, the minimum number of spectators has been 1 million. This record is second place if the scope is expanded in history. The minimum number of spectators in history is 65 games, which was created in 2012. 

The best issue at the time in 2012 was the appearance of Park Chan-ho, the "original player of the Korean Major Leaguer," who wore the KBO League Hanwha uniform after his MLB and Japanese professional baseball (NPB) career. While it succeeded in attracting hot spectators from the opening game, 86,033 spectators entered the four stadiums on April 29, marking the first-ever minimum of 1 million spectators in 65 games with 1,010,1006 spectators. This record, which was not broken until last year, adds to the question of whether it will fall to second place this year.
