On the 21st, Korean professional baseball will hold the board of directors and decide on the opening date, while the field assumes that 'May 1' is the opening date and is accelerating the preparation for the regular season.

When the expected 'opening of May 1st' expected by the site is confirmed, Korea will be the second country to open a professional baseball league after Taiwan.

As the number of new corona19 confirmed remains below 30, there is a growing expectation that professional baseball will gradually stretch, but on the other hand, there is still the opinion that "the opening date must be carefully considered".

What the government will do after the 'high-strength social distance practice period' is a factor that will influence the professional baseball's opening day decision.

KBO recently set the goal of 'opening in early May' and outlined the regulations.

When it kicked off in early May, it would play without a spectator, and banned high fives from players and shaking hands.
