LA FC is unable to close its open mouth of Son Heung-min (33). Since the uniform ran out immediately after joining the team, 22,000 tickets have been sold out in the home game at BMO Stadium on the 1st, and profits have been high.
This time, a new broadcasting rights contract has been signed. Forbes, a U.S. business magazine, said on the 3rd (Korea time) that LAFC signed an agreement with KYPA, a Korean radio broadcaster, to broadcast all the rest of the season'This contract is the first contract between the MLS team and the Korean language local broadcasting in 20 years'
This is not the first MLS broadcast by a Korean radio station. In 2003-2004, when national team coach Hong Myung-bo played for LA Galaxy, Korean radio broadcasts in the U.S. were also broadcasted.
KYPA is one of four Korean-language radio stations based in LA. Korean players such as Park Chan-ho, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Kim Hye-sung (LA Dodgers) have been steadily broadcasting sports since entering LA.

Currently, the LAFC game is available through Apple TV, an OTT service. English and Spanish options are provided, but Korean broadcasting is still before implementation. SportsNetLA, the local broadcasting authority for the Dodgers game, is providing Korean broadcasting options in addition to English and Spanish.
Forbes hinted at the possibility of various Korean broadcasting options being provided in the future, saying, "'Finding a solution that can secure a fan base in Korea in addition to the Korean broadcasting service provided in the region will be the next task for LAFC and MLS.
