A bomb threat in South Korea that threatened Shohei Ohtani and MLB’s season-opening game Wednesday between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres at the Gocheok Sky Dome turned out to be a hoax.
The threat, which emerged via email, warned of plans to detonate a bomb around the game and injure superstar Shohei Ohtani and others.
Police in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, identified the perpetrator as an individual with a history of false claims, per The Los Angeles Times.
