[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] LG Uplus announced on the 19th that it will hold the ‘Dad Was Once a Yarinie Too’ promotion, which families can participate in together, on the U+ Pro Baseball app until the end of May to celebrate Family Month.

U+ Pro Baseball is a professional baseball platform service where users can check KBO live broadcasts, each team’s game schedules, key player information, and popular highlights at a glance. The ‘Dad Was Once a Yarinie Too’ promotion, running on the U+ Pro Baseball app until the end of May, is a quiz event for pro baseball fans who have grown up cheering for the KBO League since its launch in 1982, where participants guess players by looking at the silhouettes of former star players.

Correct answers automatically enter participants into a draw, where prizes such as an 82-inch LG Smart TV (1 winner), T-ball sets (1,000 winners), chicken sets (2,000 winners), and catch ball sets (4,000 winners) are awarded, allowing children and parents to enjoy baseball together. Detailed information can be found on the event page within the U+ Pro Baseball app.

Having surpassed 1 million cumulative downloads, U+ Pro Baseball offers not only existing features such as ▲simultaneous live viewing of 5 KBO games ▲position-specific videos ▲home close-up videos ▲stadium zoom-in (8K) ▲replays of key moments, but also newly added features with the recent KBO season opening, including ▲real-time strike zone ▲Yamae commentary ▲friend chat ▲friend invitation functions, making it optimized for ‘Jipgwan (watching at home).’

Jung Hye-yoon, head of IMC at LG Uplus, said, “Since it is difficult to watch games in person due to the COVID-19 situation, we prepared this campaign so that families who love baseball can enjoy cheering at home and children can develop an interest in baseball. We plan to increase campaigns that families can participate in together in the future.”
