The KIA Tigers, who won the championship together for the first time in 7 years, are close to getting a ‘historic championship medal’.

The 2024 KBO League Postseason (PS) concluded with Game 5 of the Korean Series (KS) held at the Gwangju-Kia Champions Arena on the 28th. Tickets for the two wild card decider (WC) games, five semi-playoff (semi-PO) games, four playoff (PO) games, and five KS games were all sold out, recording a cumulative attendance of 353,550 (16 games). PS, this is the second time in history that every game in one season has been sold out in 14 years since 2010 (14 games, 298,000 people).

PS We booked our highest ever income. As the WC deciding match and the semi-PO match were held until the last match of the series, box office took an early hit. The estimated revenue to the 5th KS game is around 14 billion won. This is significantly higher than the all-time PS revenue record of 10,392,226,000 won (15 games) in 2012. It has been two years since 2022 and for the fourth time in history, it is easy to earn the ‘PS entry income of more than 10 billion’.

Looking at the income distribution item in Article 47 of the current KBO League rules, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) Secretariat will distribute the remaining PS income, minus various expenses, to the five teams advancing to PS. Since the share of various expenses is usually 40-50% of the total income, it is expected to distribute about 8 billion won, except for the amount of about 6 billion a won. According to the rules, the team that wins the regular season takes 20% of the first PS share, and the rest is divided between the team that won KS (50%), the team in second place (24% ), the losing club. the PO (14%), and the club that lost in the semi-PO (9%) ) Divided in order of the losing team (3%) in the WC deciding match.

KIA, the overall winner, received 1.6 billion won, or 20% of about 8 billion won, based on winning the regular season. After that, 3.2 billion was won, which is 50% of the remaining share due to KS winning. The total sum of the two amounts, about 4.8 billion won, is the share won by KIA, the highest ever, surpassing the Samsung Lions in 2012 (3,736,559,658 won). According to the calculations, there is a possibility that it could exceed 5 billion won. Last season’s winning team, the LG Twins, received a share of 2,243,155,240 wins.

The professional KBO postseason Korean Series (KS) 2024 series between the KIA Tigers and the Samsung Lions ended with the KIA Tigers winning the game with a series record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

This is a bonus given by the parent company. The bonus of the parent company is paid up to 50% of the basketball team’s share according to the rules. If that happens, the final winning bonus is expected to be more than 7 billion won. An official from one club said, “Currently, among the parent companies in professional football, Hanwha is the one in the best position, which is doing well in the defense industry, and KIA, which is thriving in car sales. If we get support from the parent company, there could be a bonus party.”
