The LG Twins will hold a ceremonial first pitch to pray for victory ahead of their midweek three-game series against the NC Dinos, taking place from today (the 25th) through the 27th at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
First, on the 25th, Baby DONT Cry member Lee Hyun will throw the ceremonial first pitch, while Mia will take the first swing.
Baby DONT Cry is a four-member girl group that debuted in June 2025. They have gained widespread popularity with their second digital single "I DON'T CARE" and their mini album "AFTER CRY," released in March this year, establishing themselves as a rising next-generation girl group. Lee Hyun and Mia previously served as the ceremonial first pitcher and batter at an LG Twins home game on July 20, 2025, bringing victory to the team.
Lee Hyun shared her thoughts on the pitch: "I've been an LG Twins fan since I was young. It's truly a joy to throw the ceremonial first pitch again this year after last year. As an 'Ellin' (LG Twins fan), I will pour in all my good energy and cheer for the LG Twins' victory."
Mia said, "I hope all the players stay healthy and have great games. Go LG Twins!"
On the 26th, Lumey, the mascot of the Taiwan Professional Baseball League's Wei Chuan Dragons, will throw the ceremonial first pitch. The LG Twins signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Wei Chuan Dragons this year to promote marketing and fan culture exchange. Following a joint cheering event held by the LG Twins cheer squad in Taipei, Taiwan last May, the Wei Chuan Dragons cheer squad is scheduled to present various performances at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 25th and 26th, including solo shows and joint cheering sessions.
The ceremonial first pitcher on the 27th will be Lee Sedol, a 9-dan legend in the world of Go. Lee Sedol entered the professional ranks at age 12 in December 1995 and remained active as a pro player until 2019, accumulating an impressive record including 50 tournament victories both domestically and internationally and a record-breaking 32 consecutive wins. He won a gold medal in the team event at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and achieved victory over the AI AlphaGo in an official match in 2016, earning the honorable title of "the only Go player to defeat AlphaGo."
Lee Sedol also has deep ties with LG. In 2000, he reached his first major international final at the 5th LG Cup World King Championship. He went on to win the tournament in 2002 (7th edition) and 2007 (12th edition). At the 7th edition, he rose from a 3-dan rank to claim the championship, advancing directly to 6-dan status. Lee Sedol remarked, "It is an honor to throw my first-ever ceremonial first pitch at the LG Twins. I will cheer for the LG Twins' V5."
Meanwhile, during their midweek three-game series against the NC Dinos from August 25th to 27th, the LG Twins will operate a "2026 Summer Holic" event, promising fans refreshing water splashes.
