We Are the Twins

 

The History and Symbolism of LG Twins

When you think of Korean baseball, one of the most iconic names that comes to mind is the LG Twins. Based in Seoul and sharing their home stadium with the Doosan Bears, the Twins are more than just a baseball team — they are a cultural symbol with a long, emotional history.

From Glory Days to Modern Triumphs

The LG Twins rose to prominence in the early 1990s, with a golden era that captured the hearts of fans. Their 1990 and 1994 Korean Series victories cemented them as one of the powerhouse teams of the time. But as many fans know all too well, the decades that followed were filled with frustration, near-misses, and emotional rollercoasters.

Then came 2023 — a year to remember. After a long 29-year drought, the LG Twins finally lifted the championship trophy again, reigniting the passion of longtime fans and welcoming a new generation to the fold. It wasn't just a win; it was a redemption story.

What’s in a Name? The Meaning Behind ‘Twins’

Unlike many teams named after animals or symbols of power, LG chose the name “Twins” to represent duality and balance. The twin imagery suggests harmony through contrast — speed and strength, tradition and innovation, past and future. It’s a name that sets them apart in KBO history and gives fans a unique identity.

More Than a Stadium: The Soul of Jamsil

The Jamsil Baseball Stadium is more than just a ballpark — it’s a sacred ground for LG fans. Located in Seoul, the heart of Korea, it stands as a symbol of pride for the city. From the roar of the home crowd to the collective heartbreak of walk-off losses, Jamsil holds decades of memories.

As a Seoul-based team, the LG Twins also carry the weight of the capital’s pride. Representing the largest city in the country means more pressure, but also more love. To wear an LG jersey is to carry the heartbeat of a city that never stops cheering.
