Typhoon Kanun, which landed in Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do at around 9:20 a.m. that day, is passing through Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and is scheduled to come up to the metropolitan area through Chungcheong-do. Although the typhoon's power has weakened compared to what was feared, the alert cannot be lowered as it is underway as a medium-sized typhoon.
Considering that strong rain and wind are blowing due to the typhoon all day and that it is difficult to proceed normally due to rain forecasts until the 11th, KBO seems to have decided to cancel quickly three hours before the start of the game.
The games that were not held on the day will be reorganized later. It has not yet been decided whether to cancel each game at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul and Gwangju-KIA Champions Field.
At Gocheok, Lotte Giants and Kiwoom Heroes will challenge the Winning Series with Han Hyun-hee and Jung Chan-heon as starters, respectively. In Gwangju, with the LG Twins and the KIA Tigers facing off, Lee Ji-gang and Yoon Young-chul will take on the heavy responsibility of starting.
