The “Seoul” of Baseball
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 one 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 are thrilled to again partner with South Korea’s premier baseball tour provider, Diego Baseball, to offer our community a once-in-a-lifetime KBO tour. We broke this tour into two segments, offering you three options:
- The Full Tour: Attend nine 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 three KBO games in three ballparks.
- Segment 2: Head south for six more KBO games in six ballparks in Gwangju, Daegu, Busan, and Daejeon before returning to Seoul for a final game.
For an idea on what to expect, check out our tour recaps and photo logs from 2023 and 2024, and this recap (which includes a fun video) of the 2024 MLB Opening Series in Seoul.
Please be warned that due to our reliance on public transportation and the inherent “walkability” of South Korea’s cities, tour guests do a lot of walking on our KBO tours. Many guests average about 12,000 steps per day on their step trackers.
This tour can be done as a stand-alone tour or in conjunction with one or more segments of our annual Japan baseball tour.

We love international baseball, but some of the gems of the global circuit are right in our backyard. Baseball is “America’s Favorite Pastime,” after all!
