Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 22nd, when the opening game of the 2025 season between KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles was held.
It's the inning shift time after the third inning, and KT's foreign hitter Rojas' voice rang loudly in the stadium. He's busy going back and forth to the dugout, but where was he holding the microphone.
But listening still, that wasn't the point. Rojas from the Dominican Republic was greeting his fans in fluent Korean. Comment, I can record it in advance, but it was so fluent that I wondered if what Rojas really said was right. It was a moment when a happy smile spread around the mouths of fans.
It is an era of 'artificial intelligence (AI)'. Wiz's parent company KT is a leader in the development of the domestic AI industry. KT will release a new AI master brand 'Kintelligence' on the 23rd. 'Kintelligence' is a new brand name that combines KT and K'K', which stands for Korea, with 'intelligence' which means 'intelligence'.
KT ambitiously integrated AI with baseball. KT Wiz Park was renovated into 'AI Stadium' on the 22nd when the opening game was held. This is the first time AI technology has been introduced in domestic professional sports stadiums. To commemorate this, 350 drones were mobilized before the game to express the 'Kintelligence' logo with a width of 170m in the sky. A spectacular fireworks show is a bonus.

In line with this, KT installed a new AI electronic board in the left-center of the outfield. Various information is provided through a large 8m wide-by-long electronic board. Based on AI, the congestion level of entrances, food and beverage stores, and toilets in the stadium is known in real time. In addition, the contents of the information broadcast in the stadium are immediately translated into English. It is a consideration for the recent increase in foreign fans. Various game data that other stadiums could not provide are also provided quickly. It will also be used as an electronic display dedicated to AI cameras in the future.
This is not the only thing. With the opening of the 2025 season, Wiz has also significantly improved the viewing environment. Fans can enjoy baseball in an upgraded sound environment by replacing all the speakers in the stadium. The cheering squad will also go up for Sky Zone fans on the 5th floor, who felt alienated because they were relatively far from the cheering squad. The fan-popular outfield free seats added convenience with a clean artificial lawn installation.
The highlight is the emergence of new restaurants. Wiz Park has become a hot topic of conversation as it opened restaurants specializing in whole chicken and dumplings that boast Suwon. On top of that, restaurants in Suwon, such as Suwon's proud galbi and sushi restaurants that made headlines by appearing on famous chef entertainment programs, have begun selling new menus. He is determined to wear Suwon's color perfectly inside the stadium.
KT also showed off the first pitch of the unmanned rocket, which began in 2015, in this opening game. KT's own identity has been continued.
