The LG Twins' girl group first pitch, which had been suspended for a month, is set to resume.

LG announced on the 8th that it will hold a victory prayer first pitch before the midweek home games against SSG Landers at Jamsil Baseball Stadium from June 9 to 11.

On the 9th, Anna, a member of the fifth-generation girl group MEOVV, will serve as the first pitcher. It has been about a month since a girl group member threw the first pitch at an LG home game. The most recent girl group member to throw the first pitch for LG was IVE's Lee Seo against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil on the 7th of last month. Before that, the girl group first pitch was by IZ*ONE's Soyeon against the NC Dinos at Jamsil on May 3. Since then, the girl group first pitch has not been held for a while due to overlapping family month events and away game schedules.

At the beginning of this season, LG drew modest attention with a win rate of over 90% on days when a girl group member threw the first pitch. However, the two most recent girl group first pitches did not result in victories.

Anna stated, "It is an honor to throw the first pitch for the LG Twins for the first time. The LG Twins' mascot, Goyang, is also an icon symbolizing our team like 'Nero,' which makes me even happier. Through this first pitch, I want to share good energy with the fans."

On the 10th, Maggie Kang, the director of the Netflix hit 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' will throw the first pitch. Director Maggie Kang is recognized as a figure who has widely promoted the influence of K-content through 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' including winning a feature-length animation award at the U.S. Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.

Director Maggie Kang shared, "It is an honor to throw the victory prayer first pitch for last year's champion LG Twins. I am happy to share good energy with those who love baseball. I will throw with all my strength for the LG Twins' victory."

On the 11th, when the third game is held, Wishcat's character Ainyang, who collaborated with the LG Twins, will throw the first pitch. This three-game series, held as the Wishcat Brand Day, will feature various on-site events such as a photo zone at the Central Ticket Office and a pop-up store at the outfield catchball area. Visitors to the pop-up store can receive various gifts by posting on social media and getting verified.
