Shin Dong-bin, chairman of Lotte Group, visited the Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 25th to cheer for the Lotte Giants players. This is Shin's first visit to the baseball stadium this year.
On that day, the Lotte Giants are facing off against the Doosan Bears. Shin reportedly visited the baseball stadium without informing the players in advance. A total of 23,750 fans entered the Jamsil Baseball Stadium that day, and all seats were sold out.

In the six previous games that Shin attended, the Lotte Giants recorded 4 wins and 2 losses.
