KBO announced that the second round of the semi-PO between KT Wiz and LG Twins in Jamsil on the 6th was sold out. The game starts at 2 p.m., and 23,750 seats were officially announced at 10:10 a.m.
Both wild card games 1 and 2 and semi-PO games were held in Jamsil, and all were sold out. The cumulative attendance for four games is 95,000. Since the first game of the Korean Series last year, nine consecutive postseason games have been sold out.
It is the KBO League that experienced a huge crowd explosion that exceeded 9 million and surpassed 10 million for the first time in the regular league this season. After 720 games, the final audience was 10,887,705, with an average audience of 15,122 per game.
The LG Twins recorded 1,397,499 in 73 games, setting a new record for the most spectators in a season, exceeding the 1.38 million recorded by the Lotte Giants in 2009, and the Samsung Lions surpassed 1 million spectators for the first time in the club's history, with the final crowd of 1,347,022 people, exceeding 1.3 million.

Samsung and KIA sold out 30 times each, Doosan recorded 26 times and LG 25 times. Lotte and Kiwoom sold out 15 times, NC and KT each sold out 12 times, and SSG filled Incheon SSG Landers Field 9.
Looking at the tremendous enthusiasm of the regular league, the postseason can be expected to sell out. And there is already a sell-out march.
