2020 is proving a banner year for Korea: Bong Joon-ho’s "Parasite" made Oscar history; the nation’s widely praised response to the Corona virus epidemic made headlines, and now Korean Baseball goes live on ESPN... finally! This is the perfect time for an event that pairs two blockbuster sectors of the entertainment business at which the country excels: Baseball and Cinema.
