Shohei Ohtani (29), the star of the Los Angeles (LA) Dodgers in Major League Baseball (MLB), arrived in Korea on the afternoon of the 15th with his wife, Tanaka Mamiko.

The Dodgers team, to which Ohtani belongs, landed at Incheon International Airport around 2:30 PM that day. The Dodgers will play a two-game MLB opening series against the San Diego Padres at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th and 21st.

Ohtani, who entered through Incheon International Airport, smiled at reporters and fans while wearing a backward cap and tracksuit. His wife, Tanaka Mamiko, accompanied him.

The Dodgers made significant acquisitions of key players during this offseason. In December last year, Ohtani signed a 10-year contract worth $700 million (922 billion KRW) with the Dodgers as a free agent (FA). Additionally, Japanese pitcher Yamamoto Yoshinobu signed a 12-year contract worth $325 million (428.1 billion KRW) with the Dodgers.

The Dodgers will hold a two-day MLB regular season opening series against the San Diego Padres, which include players Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok, at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul starting on the 20th. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, along with Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, are scheduled to attend a press conference. Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok arrived in Korea early that morning.
