KBO Secretary-General Park Geun-chan said in a phone call with Yonhap News on the 4th, “KBO values the safety of spectators, players, and professional baseball workers as the top priority,” adding, “We will think about ways to create a safe professional baseball environment and not interfere with league operation.”

Recently, a large number of spectators watching the game in the heat wave collapsed due to heat illness at the professional baseball scene.

In the match between SSG Landers and Samsung Lions held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 2nd, four spectators were transported in 119 ambulances due to heat symptoms, and one spectator was treated at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 3rd.

Four heat patients occurred at Jamsil Stadium on the 3rd, and all of them were taken to the hospital in a 119 ambulance, and one person returned home after being treated in the medical room.

KBO recently made a decision to “cancel the heat wave” for the first time in its history.

The game between the LG Twins and the Lotte Giants, which was scheduled to be held at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 2nd, was canceled for the first time in history, and the Kiwoom Heroes-Doosan Bears match and the Ulsan LG-Lotte match, which were scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 4th, were canceled again due to heat waves.

The problem is the situation ahead.

The momentum of the heatwave is expected to continue for some time. However, the KBO cannot afford to cancel the game on a whim.

There have already been a number of canceled games in professional baseball during the rainy season.

If there are a series of cancellation games during the heatwave, the regular season schedule will be pushed back and the league will be disrupted.

The heat wave problem is not a short-term problem that ends this year.

Recently, the Korean Peninsula has been suffering from prolonged summer heat waves due to abnormal high temperatures caused by climate change.

Mid- to long-term measures are needed.
