As a heatwave sweeps across the nation, LG Twins will hold a ceremonial first pitch to pray for victory ahead of their three-game weekend series against KIA Tigers from the 7th to 9 at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Will they be able to stand on the mound?
First, on the 7th, tripleS's Jeong Ha-yeon will throw the first pitch, while Ma-yu will take the opening bat. The 24-member girl group tripleS is LG Twins' representative "Victory Fairy."
Starting with Kim Yu-yeon and Kim Chae-yeon in 2025, LG Twins have won all four home games where tripleS members served as ceremonial first pitchers or opening batters this season, including Kim Chae-yeon, Lee Ji-woo, Jeong Ha-yeon, Park So-hyun, and Nieen.
Ha-yeon stated, "When I came to LG Twins as an opening batter last time, we won. I thought it would be great to come back as a first pitcher. I'm so happy to be invited again."
Ma-yu shared, "I played baseball frequently when I was young, and I'm happy to create good memories with baseball after such a long time. I will always cheer for LG Twins."
On the 8th, RIIZE's Sung-chan will throw the first pitch, while Eun-seok will take the opening bat. RIIZE is a globally popular boy group known for its unique performances and stage dominance. Starting with their debut song "Get A Guitar" up to their recent release "Do your dance," they have dominated major domestic and international music and album charts, achieving four million-selling records.
RIIZE is scheduled to perform a special concert after the game on the 8th to blow away the heat. Starting at 3 p.m. that same day, they will sell an in-person collaboration package featuring RIIZE's character "LITTLE RIIZE," including beach towels, ticket holders, lanyards, and gym bags, at Jamsil Student Gymnasium.
Sung-chan and Eun-seok said, "We are honored to throw the first pitch and take the opening bat on the field where a great game will unfold. We will cheer hard for LG Twins to win the championship." They added, "We have prepared our performance after the game to the best of our ability, so please look forward to it."
The ceremonial first pitcher on the 9th is actor Kim Jae-won. Debuting in the 2021 web drama "Back Romance," Kim Jae-won has established his presence as a lead actor in dramas such as "King the Land," "Lady in the Palace," and "Yumi's Cells Season 3."
Kim Jae-won said, "It is truly an honor to throw the first pitch for LG Twins again this year after last year. I will throw the ball filled with the energy of victory." He added, "I sincerely hope that LG Twins can win the championship this season as well."
Meanwhile, during the three-game weekend series against KIA Tigers, LG Twins will host the "2026 Summer Holic" summer event. The team has arranged various activities including refreshing water play during games, followed by DJ parties, fireworks displays, and laser shows after the games. Additionally, a Hello Kitty pop-up store will operate for four days from August 7 to 10 at Jamsil Student Gymnasium.
