Yuta (NCT) to appear at special opening ceremony! ”#ConnectingKoreaKOREADAY” held at Hotto Motto Field Kobe

The Korea Tourism Organization's Osaka branch will hold a special event on June 1, 2025 to commemorate the launch of two Korean Air charter flights daily between Kobe Airport and Incheon International Airport in Korea from April 18, 2025.
On Sunday, the 20th, at the professional baseball game between the Orix Buffaloes and the Saitama Seibu Lions at Hotto Motto Field Kobe,
Yuta from "NCT" took the mound for a special opening ceremony before the start of the game. Before pitching, he addressed the approximately 34,000 visitors at Hotto Motto Field Kobe.
Along with these encouraging words, I recommended a trip to Korea, which is only a two-hour direct flight from Kobe Airport. <Yuta's comment> I am active in both Japan and Korea, and
I hope to be able to introduce many wonderful places in Korea from now on. From April, direct flights will be available daily between Kobe Airport and Incheon International Airport in Korea, and there are many wonderful foods and beautiful places in Korea.
There are so many things to see in Korea, so I hope you will consider traveling to Korea this summer. Also, the Orix Buffaloes players will receive a unique Korean souvenir, the "Yanni" bag from Samyang Japan Co., Ltd.
The first 10,000 people at the venue were given a bag of "Yangnyeom Chicken Broth LUDA Stir-Fry Noodles" or "Jajangbuk LUDA Stir-Fry Noodles."
There was a chance to win a prize in a lottery for 900 people, and a discount coupon for Korean Air flights between Kobe and Seoul (Incheon) for 1,000 people only.
At the R booth, they distributed Korean tourist booklets and provided information about Korean Air's Kobe-Incheon route, as well as promoting the appeal of traveling to Korea, which is now easily accessible from Kobe and a perfect summer vacation destination.
