Hello

This keyword is sports collaboration, focusing on examples of collaborations between Nexon games and real-world sports.

In MapleStory’s case, a collaboration with KT wiz was recently held. While the main event has already ended, related merchandise is still on sale. This marked the second partnership following last year, and within MapleStory IP collaborations, it is notable as the only collaboration with the sports industry.

The two-day <MapleStory Day> event

The main event, <MapleStory Day>, was held across the games played over two days from Saturday, April 11 to Sunday, April 12. During the games held under the <MapleStory Day> title, players wore uniforms designed around Pink Bean and Yeti, and MapleStory-themed videos were shown as part of the event. In particular, on Saturday, April 11, Pink Bean appeared in person to throw the ceremonial first pitch.

You can watch Pink Bean’s charming ceremonial first pitch in the Shorts posted on the KT wiz official YouTube, and the main moments are shown below.

No separate related video was uploaded for the 2026 event, but footage from the first collaboration held in 2025 remains on the official YouTube channel, so it is included here as a reference for what the event looked like.

Pink Bean also threw the ceremonial first pitch last year

<MapleStory M> & <Maple Idle> collaboration coupons and special collaboration video

This year, instead of an on-site sketch video like the one above, a special video commemorating the collaboration was uploaded. It features players Ahn Hyun-min and Kwon Dong-jin introducing the collaboration merchandise and personally logging into MapleStory M to try on the commemorative reward items.

Although this is a collaboration video, the fact that the two players are not especially familiar with MapleStory actually gives it a fresh and entertaining feel. It is particularly worth watching for fans who have the time.

The commemorative collaboration outfit items mentioned in this video can be claimed by entering the coupon code in both <MapleStory M> and <Maple키우기>. <Maple키우기> provides only the outfit set, while <MapleStory M> also includes a damage skin, and coupon entry is only available until 23:59 on July 31.

• <Maple키우기> Reward - Coupon Code: VICTORY2026

• <MapleStory M> Reward - Coupon Code: GOKTWIZ

Lastly, commemorative collaboration products have been on sale since April 15, and detailed information can be found on the official sales page. The images below are product description images shared on KT wiz’s official Instagram, so anyone interested may want to take a look.
