Professional baseball team KT Wiz invites Ajou family to its home game
[16.05.20]
The KT Wiz, which is a new professional baseball team based in Suwon, invited the Ajou family to the Teacher's Day Series. Ajou University President Dong Yeon Kim threw the first pitch and President Gyeong Jin Lee of the General Student Council served as the batter to open the game.
About 700 Ajou people, including students, professors, and staff members from the University and the University Medical Center, were invited to the game between the KT Wiz and the LG Twins held on May 18th at the KT Wiz Park located in Jangan-gu, Suwon.
A promotional video of Ajou was played on the stadium screen and the announcer interviewed President Kim before the game. Thundersticks representing the University were popular among spectators and Ajou's cheerleading team Cento staged a performance after the fifth inning.
President Kim said, "Ajou University is seeking a 'Joyful Uprising' based on the values of challenge-taking, consideration for others, and a win-win spirit," adding, "I ask that the KT Wiz will also give not just wins, but happiness and joy to the citizens of Suwon."
The event was a part of the KT Wiz 'Teacher's Day Series' (three-day home series vs. the LG Twins, May 17-19) to which the team invited students and other members from universities located in Suwon.
