The professional baseball team Kiwoom Heroes achieved its 11th sellout of the season.
Kiwoom announced that as of 7:39 p.m. on the 24th, all 16,000 seats were sold out for the game against the KIA Tigers in the '2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League' at the Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome. This is the 11th sellout of the season.
Despite having a poor record with 21 wins, 2 ties, and 53 losses, for a winning percentage of .284, Kiwoom is attracting many fans to the ballpark. Kiwoom succeeded in its first sellout of the season during the game against Lotte on the 1st and recorded sellouts in all three games against KIA during the Children's Day series held from the 5th to the 7th.
On the 9th, Kiwoom also recorded a sellout in the game against Hanwha, achieving five consecutive sellouts for the first time in club history. The previous record was four consecutive sellouts set in 2013 (from June 6 against Samsung to June 9 against KIA) when they used Mokdong Stadium (which has a capacity of 12,500 seats) as their home venue. Kiwoom did not stop there and recorded sellouts in both games against Hanwha on the 10th and 11th, extending the sellout streak to seven games.
After a period without sellout games, Kiwoom recorded sellouts in all three games against LG held from the 6th to the 8th, achieving a total of 10 sellouts for the season. In this game, Kiwoom met KIA, who were on a six-game winning streak, and despite it being a weekday game, recorded a sellout to achieve the 11th sellout.
Kiwoom has recorded a cumulative attendance of 459,889 this season, averaging 10,695 spectators per game. This pace does not reach last season's record for the highest attendance (808,350), but it continues to show good box office performance.
In that game, Kiwoom's Kim Yun-ha faced off against KIA's Yoon Young-cheol as starters. KIA was leading 4-3 through the top of the fourth inning.
