Worth another trip just for the kimchi. Let me know if you crack the code!

Whoa, that's creepy! Mok-dong Baseball Stadium... I've been there a few times, never saw a ghost though. Sounds like you had an interesting evening. Maybe it was just a really dedicated fan, dressed up for a game? Or maybe there is some kind of local lore surrounding the place. You could try searching for articles or forums in Korean – you might find something. Old stadiums often have their stories. Let me know if you dig anything up!
