The “Seoul” of Baseball
April/May 2025: Specific Dates TBA
Korea is finally getting noticed on the global baseball scene! MLB opened the 2024 season in front of loud, enthusiastic Korean crowds, a few months after superstar outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (nicknamed “Grandson of the Wind”) signed the largest contract ever for an Asian hitter.
Korean players play with emotion and flare (bat flips galore!), feeding off their passionate fans. And they have talent too, with one of the world’s best national teams and a steady stream of MLB-caliber players.
With its high-quality play and frenzied fans, the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) remains of of international baseball’s best-kept secrets. Come see for yourself while experiencing a world-class city that is rich in culture and history.
We broke this tour into two segments, so providing you three options:
- The Full Tour: Attend 9-10 KBO games at all nine KBO ballparks and stay in some of South Korea’s best cities.
- Segment 1: Keep your base in Seoul and attend four-five KBO games in four ballparks.
- Segment 2: Head south for four-five more KBO games in five ballparks in Daegu, Busan, and Changwon. We’ll also spend time in beautiful Gyeongju for sightseeing.
For an idea on what to expect, check out our 2023 Tour Recap and this recap (which includes a fun video) of the 2024 MLB Opening Series in Seoul.
This tour can be done as a stand-alone tour or in conjunction with one or more segments of our annual Japan baseball tour.
