Other name: 죽어도 자이언츠, Jukeodo Jaieoncheu

Description:

Giants Even If We Die explores the profound loyalty of Lotte Giants fans, integral to Korean professional baseball's rich history. For three decades since their last championship win in 1992, these devoted supporters have endured a grueling winless streak. Yet, despite persistent self-dissing, resentment towards the club and players, and the endless wait, they simply cannot leave. This film uncovers the perplexing heart of their unwavering devotion: why the "Talde effect" fails to work, why every spring brings a fresh wave of excitement and an unshakeable belief in a win rate over 50%. As fans eagerly move to Sajik Baseball Stadium, the narrative unfolds the Lotte Giants' 40-year saga, told through the perspectives of both former and current players, revealing the true essence of enduring fandom.
