The games between the NC Dinos and Doosan Bears in Jamsil, as well as the KT Wiz and Kia Tigers in Gwangju, were canceled due to extreme heat.
According to Yonhap News on August 4, the Korea Meteorological Administration issued a heat wave warning for Seoul and Gwangju, prompting the KBO to decide to cancel the games at 12:45 PM based on its detailed guidelines for operating games during heat waves.
A heat wave warning is issued when the perceived temperature is expected to reach 38 degrees Celsius or the maximum temperature exceeds 39 degrees Celsius. Under these conditions, the KBO has established rules allowing for game cancellations to be made by 1 PM on the day of the game.
The KBO stated, "If a heat wave warning is in effect, we will prioritize safety and cancel the games accordingly."
