The United States Major League has a Korean-based employee to see the opening of the KBO League of Korean Professional Baseball.

KBO League begins May 5 for Children’s Day. It is the second professional baseball in the world to open after Taiwan. The major league begins in stark contrast to the days when professional baseball in Japan has yet to set an opening date.

The US sports media The US, Yahoo Sports, reported on 2 (local time) that the major league secretariat is confirming the KBO league preparation process, which will be used for the opening of the major league.

According to Yahoo Sports, there are currently two major league officials in Korea. Employees are meticulously documenting how the KBO League responds to the new coronavirus infection (Corona19).

Even after the opening of the KBO League, the major leagues are a concern. Each of the KBO League teams prepared various countermeasures to equalize audience openness, including live viewers using a video conferencing system and live support.

“The big leagues are also interested in how the KBO league responds to the unattended atmosphere,” said Yahoo Sports. It will take place at the Gocheok Sky Dome. ”
