How can foreigners attend Korean baseball (KBO) games? What should I know about tickets, stadiums, food, and fan culture?

Going to a KBO game is honestly one of the best things you can do here, and it's super foreigner-friendly. Buy tickets in advance on the team's app or Ticketlink — tickets often run about 10,000–20,000 won, and big stadiums are Jamsil in Seoul (LG/Doosan), Gocheok dome, plus Incheon, Suwon, and Busan. Unlike many countries you can bring in outside food and even drinks, so people grab fried chicken and beer (chimaek is the move), and each team has its own cheer songs, light sticks, and a cheerleading squad you just follow along with. Pick a home team, sit in the cheering section, and copy what everyone around you is doing — locals love helping newcomers learn the chants.
