The match between the Samsung Lions and the Hanwha Eagles, which was scheduled to be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 18th, was canceled due to snowfall.
The second official game will be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon, which opened on the 5th. Both teams played exhibition games on the 17th with the task of adapting to the new stadium.
Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park is designed with left and right asymmetries, so the distance to the right pole is 95m and the left pole is 99m. To compensate for the relatively short right-hand distance, an 8 m high 'monster wall' was installed. As large facilities were built on the right fence, there were many defensive variables as the ball could hit and come out. There has not been a direct hit to 'Monsterwall' so far, but the players need to learn the atmosphere by playing defense.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also said ahead of the exhibition game on the 17th, "(Since it is our home stadium, we should make the most of it." We need to take a little more time and practice more on the pitch. I think we've been doing it for three days now, but we can't say we know everything. I think I need to practice more and get to know each other," he stressed.

One game is valuable not only for the adaptation of the fielder but also for the build-up of the number of starting pitchers. However, a super large variable occurred. Snow fell all over the country on this day. Snow has also accumulated throughout Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon.
The previous day's exhibition game was also held until the 5th inning due to cold weather due to a sudden drop in temperature.

Hanwha finished the exhibition game with five consecutive wins and one draw and two losses with its victory the previous day, while Samsung finished with three wins and six losses.
Hanwha will play the opening game against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 22nd. Samsung will enter the opening two consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu.
Meanwhile, in addition to Daejeon, Jamsil (NC-LG), Suwon (Doosan-KT), and Gwangju (SSG-KIA) were also canceled due to snowfall.
