The response from the Busan Metropolitan Government and the baseball community is drawing attention as the chairman of a mid-sized company in Busan expressed his intention to donate 200 billion won if the city builds a baseball stadium in the northern port of Busan.

Chung Chul-won, chairman of the Hyupseong General Construction Project, said in a phone call with Yonhap News on the 30th, "If the construction of a baseball stadium on the landmark site in the first stage of the North Port redevelopment zone is successful, we plan to donate 200 billion won in any form."

They say that either construction work or cash support worth 200 billion won is possible. 안전놀이터

Chairman Chung said, "The entire North Port redevelopment area will be revitalized only when entertainment facilities such as baseball stadiums enter the North Port landmark site," adding, "We intend to donate greatly to revitalize North Port redevelopment and develop baseball."

However, it is unclear whether the construction of the North Port baseball stadium will be realized as the Busan Metropolitan Government is pushing for a plan to rebuild the Sajik Baseball Stadium from its current location by spending 340 billion won, including state funds, municipal expenses, and contributions from professional baseball Lotte Giants clubs.

This is because even if the construction of the Bukhang Baseball Stadium is carried out, it is expected to cost more than 600 billion won to purchase the landmark site, putting a burden on the city's finances.

The Busan Metropolitan Government is pushing for a plan to create a video culture complex by attracting 4 trillion won worth of foreign capital to the landmark site.
