Girl group IVE will take the mound in Major League Baseball (MLB). Representing the group, member Jang Wonyoung (22) is scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch before fans in the United States.

The MLB office announced through Sports Intelligence Group, which handles domestic MLB promotion, that "IVE has been officially invited to the game between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers at Citi Field in New York on the 27th according to Korean time." On this day, IVE will not only watch the game live at the venue but also have member Jang Wonyoung take the mound to throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Through Sports Intelligence Group, Jang Wonyoung shared her excited feelings: "Opportunities to meet fans in new ways always give me great inspiration," and added, "I look forward to experiencing the passionate atmosphere at Citi Field firsthand and sharing this special moment with baseball fans worldwide and our DIVE (official fan club name)."

According to Sports Intelligence Group, this invitation is particularly meaningful as it takes place during a matchup between two prestigious teams, the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, who share deep ties with Korean baseball fans. Attention from fans in both South Korea and the United States is focused on this special collaboration connecting K-pop and Major League Baseball.

Before the ceremonial first pitch, IVE will film special content alongside Kim Byung-hyun and Dustin Nippert, legends of Korean baseball, hinting at unique entertainment. Regarding this, IVE stated, "We are very excited to meet players Kim Byung-hyun and Dustin Nippert directly and share a special moment where Korean baseball and K-pop come together," and added, "Through this collaboration, we hope to create unforgettable memories for baseball fans, DIVE members, and fans around the world."
