Inside Dodger Stadium, ribbon board displays during the match will feature messages from fans worldwide expressing their love and pride for Taehyung. Advertising slots sold out almost immediately due to overwhelming demand.
Multiple fanbases joined the ribbon board campaign. Proceeds from the ribbon board messages will be donated to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, supporting youth education, health, homelessness relief, and social justice initiatives in LA.
