Pro baseball teams have been doing lots of character collabs lately!

The Lotte Giants teamed up with Crayon Shin-chan and Pokémon,

the Doosan Bears with 망곰,

the KIA Tigers with Catch! Teenieping,

and the LG Twins with Chiikawa.

Then I spotted a kt wiz collab with MapleStory, and as a MapleStory player,

I had to dig in and see what they'd put together.

MapleStory X kt wiz Uniform

A pink uniform decked out in MapleStory mascots—such an adorable design!

I wasn't sure the players could pull it off, but judging by the photos, it really suits them.

Real men wear pink, after all!

MapleStory X kt wiz Merch

So much collab merch featuring MapleStory mascots Pink Bean, Orange Mushroom, Yeti, Slime, and Rock Spirit—

and it's all so cute!!

It's currently on sale at the kt wiz physical store and online store.

MapleStory Day

MapleStory Day took place at the kt wiz home stadium on June 21–22, 2025!

I watched a recap video on Instagram, and they'd done such a great job with the decorations.

A giant Pink Bean showed up at Suwon kt wiz Park!

All kinds of MapleStory collab merch on sale at the kt wiz physical store.

The merch turned out so well that even baseball fans who aren't into MapleStory would be tempted to pick some up.

Pink Bean came to throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Throwing the ball with those tiny hands—so cuteㅋㅋㅋ

Fittingly for MapleStory Day, even the scoreboard was full of MapleStory characters,

and there were lots of fun MapleStory-themed activities throughout the game, too.

Pink Bean turned cheerleaderㅋㅋㅋ

Isn't this just too cute?

Maybe Pink Bean's cheering did the trick, because MapleStory Day ended on a high note with a kt wiz win.

It looked like a blast—even someone like me, who doesn't know much about baseball, could have had a great time.

I guess last year's MapleStory collab was a hit, because they're teaming up with MapleStory again this year.

Here's hoping both MapleStory and kt wiz keep on winning!!
