Hanwha Eagles feels responsibility for the failure to carefully consider the disabled and sincerely apologizes to the disabled who suffered inconvenience in relation to the change operation of specialized seats for the disabled.

With this opportunity, the club plans to transform Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park into a viewing-friendly stadium for the disabled, their families with disabilities, and everyone in need of social care.

First of all, the club decided to discuss improving the facility with multiple disabled groups on the 19th and 20th.

At this meeting, we will once again ask the disabled for forgiveness of the club's faults and convey their sincere apologies.

In addition, we will draw up practical demands from fans with disabilities in this consultation and carry out overall improvement work for the movement, reservation environment, price, and facilities for the disabled.

Hanwha Eagles will lead all the investments and efforts required for this. I promise to invest more than the sales generated by this.

In addition, we will actively cooperate with Daejeon City to become the best disabled viewing-friendly stadium that does not inconvenience people with disabilities.

Hanwha Eagles will continue to play the role of a responsible sports club that complies with the system and does not neglect the consideration of the socially disadvantaged.

Once again, I sincerely apologize to the disabled who were hurt and all the fans who were disappointed by Hanwha Eagles, and all the executives and employees will reflect on this incident so that it does not happen again.
