This event, hosted by the Gyeongbuk Office of Education and organized by Daegu Newspaper, was prepared to provide students who usually find it difficult to visit the baseball stadium due to transportation, distance, and travel time constraints with an opportunity to relieve stress accumulated during the semester and strengthen friendships by watching and cheering for sports together with friends as a cultural and athletic experience activity.

The main events included ▲a ceremonial first pitch by Superintendent Lim Jong-sik ▲a ceremonial first bat by Park Seong-won, a student of Pohang Iron and Steel Middle School baseball team ▲the singing of the national anthem by Ryu Byeong-chan, a student of Pohang Arts High School, and pre-game experience programs such as ▲face painting ▲darts ▲roulette ▲secret box.

On the 28th at Pohang Baseball Stadium, Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Education, threw the ceremonial first pitch at the game between the Samsung Lions and Hanwha Eagles.

Superintendent Lim Jong-sik said, “Our students, who have been very tired and exhausted after experiencing COVID-19 for more than three years, I hope they relieve academic stress through a baseball outing with friends and gain new strength to spend the hot summer vacation healthily.”
