'Professional baseball team LG Twins has prepared a special first-pitch event for Children's Day.

'The LG organization officially revealed the first-pitch throwers for the Children's Day series against the Doosan Bears, which will be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium from the 5th to the 7th.

'On Children's Day itself, Park Cha-i (4), daughter of Park Dong-won (36), will throw the first pitch as a representative of the players' children. According to the LG organization, Park Cha-i has received much love from LG fans for participating as a children's model in various collaborative club products. She has now grown up to the age where she can even share her own thoughts on throwing the first pitch. It also drew attention that she recently took care of closer Yoo Young-chan (29), who is likely to be out for the season due to elbow surgery.

'Park Cha-i conveyed her thoughts through the organization: "I am so happy and excited to throw the first pitch on Children's Day. This year, I will cheer hard with the children friends so that our LG Twins can take first place. I will throw the ball with all my heart toward our fifth championship. LG Twins fighting! And to I-an's dad (player Yoo Young-chan), get well soon. I miss you!"

'There is also an event to commemorate the last Children's Day at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, where a parting is likely at the end of this season. The LG organization stated, "To mark the final season, we plan to hold various pre-game events with the players, such as 'Carrot Pulling' and 'Mini-Ellympics,' so that many El-lins (LG+children) can step onto the field and leave memories."

'On the 6th, children with immigrant backgrounds will throw the first pitch and hit the first ball. Hwang Tae-yong, selected as a first-pitch thrower through a social contribution program run by Kyochon Chicken, said, "I really love baseball, especially LG Twins. While watching LG Twins games, I am nurturing my dream of becoming a baseball player. I want to show my friends what it looks like for me to stand on the baseball field."

'First-batter Kim Nicole shared her thoughts: "I was born in Australia and came to Korea, and what I felt was common in both countries was baseball. So I really like baseball, and it means a lot to me to be able to hit the first ball. My father also really loves baseball, and the thought of showing him my appearance makes me very excited."

'On the final day of the series, the 7th, IVE's youngest member Lee Seo (19) will throw the first pitch. There is interest in whether the pleasant formula of LG winning when female idols throw the first pitch, which has recently become a hot topic, will continue.

'In games where female idols threw the first pitch this year, LG recorded 5 wins and 1 loss. They went on a five-game winning streak: April 1 at Jamsil against KIA with ITZY's Yuna (7-2 win), April 2 at Jamsil against KIA with Triple S's Kim Chae-yeon (2-1 win), April 12 at Jamsil against SSG with i-dle's Miyeon (9-1 win), April 16 at Jamsil against Lotte with Triple S's Lee Ji-woo and Jung Ha-yeon (7-4 win), and April 21 at Jamsil against Hanwha with Seimei Name's Soha and Junhui (6-5 win), before the streak was briefly broken in the May 3 game at Jamsil against NC, where i-dle's Soyeon threw the first pitch (3-10 loss).

'Lee Seo, who is continuing her activities not only as an idol but also as an MC on music shows, expressed her determination: "I sincerely thank the organization that gave me this precious opportunity and all LG Twins fans. I want to deliver good energy to LG Twins through the first pitch and give LG Twins fans a special moment that will be remembered for a long time."
