He added, "This is a great achievement for a Seoul-based team, marking the first championship since the Doosan Bears' victory in 2019, four years ago. The promise I made last year to KBO Commissioner Hur Koo-yeon to hold a celebration event for a Seoul-based team's championship still stands. We will actively consider holding a street welcome event at Seoul Plaza to celebrate LG Twins' victory with the citizens."

He also mentioned the stadium construction issue. Mayor Oh said, "Regarding the replacement stadium for Jamsil Stadium, which is a matter of utmost interest to fans due to the dome stadium construction, we are currently conducting practical discussions with the construction entity Hanwha Consortium, the stadium users LG, Doosan, and the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), which operates professional baseball in Korea. We will prioritize safety and guide the development of the most reasonable plan."
