Hello,

I’m Jeymer, a Nexon Picker.

Lately, more and more game IPs have been branching out into offline spaces, giving fans a whole new kind of fun.

Today, I’m here to share a buzzworthy sports collab that stole the hearts of both baseball fans and MapleStory heroes back in early April.

That event was none other than KT wiz’s 'MapleStory Day'!

Pink Bean and Yeti Take Over KT wiz Park!

On April 11 and 12, Suwon KT wiz Park—home to KT wiz’s weekend two-game series against Doosan—

hosted 'MapleStory Day.'

It was an especially meaningful occasion, too, as this marked the event’s second year already.

One of the biggest highlights of the event was the special collab uniforms.

The players actually took the field wearing uniforms featuring MapleStory mascots Pink Bean and Yeti.

Even better, during the Saturday game on the 11th, Pink Bean personally stepped onto the mound for the ceremonial first pitch.

No surprise—fans went wild for Pink Bean’s adorable appearance!

The on-site festivities were reportedly just as packed as the game itself.

On the newly installed media wall on the second floor of wiz Park, lively MapleStory-themed videos were screened, turning the space into an awesome photo spot for visitors.

With MapleStory special inning events and live in-stadium activities happening throughout the game,

the whole venue sounds like it turned into a full-blown festival where baseball fans and heroes alike could come together and have a blast!

Collectible Appeal: 1000%! A Special Collab Merch Lineup

No offline event feels complete without merch, right?

When the collab product images and sales news first dropped on official SNS channels like Instagram,

fans reacted with serious hype!

And it wasn’t just the MapleStory uniforms the players wore—there was a huge variety of merch prepared as well.

From Pink Bean/Orange Mushroom plush keyrings, Pink Bean cheering bats, and headbands

to Maple Friends shaker keyrings, cold cups, logo balls, cheering towels, and giant fans, the lineup is seriously massive.

With those adorable characters worked right into the designs,

they’d definitely stand out as eye-catching accent items for a day at the ballpark.
