The KIA Tigers will hold a relay batting and pitching ceremony to pray for victory in their home games against the SSG Landers at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field from the 28th to the 30th.

On the 28th, singer Kim Kyung-ho will visit Champions Field to sing the national anthem and take an opening pitch.

Kim Kyung-ho said, "I am happy and excited to meet KIA Tigers fans in my hometown. It is meaningful and honorable for me to sing the national anthem before so many fans. I hope that starting with my batting, the players will hit many solid hits and home runs and secure a victory in the game."

On the 29th, DAY6's Wonpil, known as a "true fan," will serve as the ceremonial pitcher. In April, Wonpil had visited Champions Field for an opening pitch, but unfortunately had to leave when the game was canceled due to rain.

Wonpil said, "I was disappointed that the previous game was canceled because of rain, so I am happy to have another chance. I will cheer for all Tiger players to stay healthy and show great games."

On the 30th, Kim I-on, an actor well known for resembling infielder Jung Hyeon-chang, will take the mound for the ceremonial pitch.

Kim I-on said, "I often hear that I look like Jung Hyeon-chang, so it's strange and fun to be given this chance to throw a ceremonial pitch. I am grateful to the team for creating this opportunity, and I hope to become a 'true fan' of the Tigers and cheer for them enthusiastically from now on."
