Just who will be the ceremonial first-pitch thrower for Game 2 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Korea Series?

The KBO officially announced that singer Gumi will sing the national anthem ahead of Game 2 of the Korea Series, scheduled to take place at Suwon KT Wiz Park at 6:30 p.m. on the 4th.

News of the appearance by "Vocal Queen" Gumi, known for her distinctive timbre and explosive vocal power, further heated up the atmosphere on-site. She is set to open the autumn festival with her uniquely persuasive voice.

However, the identity of the person who will actually take the pitcher's mound remains shrouded in mystery even as the start of the game approaches.

This is a somewhat different approach from Game 1, held on the previous day (the 3rd), where both the ceremonial first-pitch thrower and the national anthem singer were announced together via an official pre-game press release. Unlike Game 1, only the national anthem singer for Game 2 has been revealed so far, fueling growing curiosity among fans at the venue and media personnel as to who the Game 2 first-pitch thrower is that they have not yet disclosed.

As the Korea Series ceremonial first pitch serves as a symbol of autumn baseball and helps set the tone for gaining an early advantage in the series, interest has reached its peak over whether a surprise top star will appear or if a special legendary figure who will shake up the venue will take the mound.
