In particular, during the game against Wonju DB on the 20th, Mayor Hong Nam-pyo wore the number 1 uniform and threw the ceremonial first pitch to wish for a season victory, showing his support for the LG Sakers.

Based in Changwon, the LG Sakers are inviting city officials, middle and high school students, 3.15 Marathon participants, and foreign residents to "Changwon Special City Week" as part of their efforts to promote community cooperation, providing diverse citizens with opportunities to enjoy sports and leisure time.

For the game on the 22nd, middle and high school students enrolled in schools within Changwon can attend for 3,000 won, while on the 23rd, 3.15 Marathon participants can enter for 3,000 won and foreign residents can attend for free.

Additionally, in accordance with the agreement signed last year between the city, the club, and the Korea Foodservice Industry Association's Uichang and Seongsan branches for the development of professional basketball and revitalization of the local economy, spectators can receive discounts or complimentary side dishes and beverages at partner restaurants by presenting their game ticket within a week. The list of partner restaurants can be found on the Changwon LG Sakers website.

Mayor Hong Nam-pyo stated, "Through Changwon Special City Week, we aim to promote sports culture in collaboration with our local team and provide citizens with diverse sports experiences," adding, "We will continue to expand cooperation so that professional sports and the local community can thrive together."

Meanwhile, the Changwon LG Sakers, established in 1997, are the only team whose name, home city, and home stadium have never changed. This season, they are strengthening their roster with the goal of winning the championship. Additionally, through a project with the Korea Professional Sports Association, they are working to create a comfortable viewing environment by installing premium seats and table seats on the second floor.
