The South Korean baseball league has topped 5 million fans for the season in record-breaking style.
The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) said Thursday its attendance for the season reached 5,041,891 fans following five games the previous evening. Those five games drew a combined 105,441 fans across the nation.
The KBO surpassed 5 million in 275 games, beating the previous record of 294 games set during the 2025 season.
The KBO went on to set a single-season attendance record last year with over 12.3 million fans and is now on pace to break that mark. The league has topped every million milestone this season in record-setting fashion.
