Cardboard cutouts replace baseball fans in South Korea

South Korean baseball fans may not be allowed to watch their favorite team's game at stadiums due to the COVID-19 pandemic but the NC Dinos' stands were not empty thanks to life-sized cardboard cut-outs of portraits sent in by the fans.

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) League season kicked off this month after a five-week delay due to the pandemic but all games will be played without fans in attendance.

The club said more than 60 fans participated in the cut-out initiative, sending their own pictures, along with their favourite players or even their pets.

It also set up cardboard cut-outs with characters from the U.S. baseball team, the Durham Bulls, after the minor league team declared its support for the Dinos on Twitter.
