After much soul searching on both sides, the Korea Pro Baseball Players Union and the KBO's member teams have finally reached a compromise to save the 2001 season which the owners had canceled the month before.
Details were not immediately clear, but it is confirmed that all the major issues of contention have been solved. Kim Han Gil of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism arbitrated the negotiations which both sides agreed would be binding. There were four main issues that forced an impasse and on the surface it appears that the KPBPA has won more than it lost.
The most important issue to both sides was that of choosing player representatives to the union.
