Actress Ha Ji-won will take the mound as the first pitch thrower for the KBO League's LG Twins.

According to her agency, Haewedal Entertainment, on the 15th, Ha Ji-won is scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the 2026 KBO League match between LG Twins and KT Wiz, which will be held at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 16th.

This appearance by Ha Ji-won comes 12 years after her participation in the "2014 Hope Plus Charity Baseball Tournament" in 2014, and marks a full 18 years since her last first pitch at a regular-season professional baseball game, which was during the match between Lotte Giants and Samsung Lions in 2008.

Earlier this May, Ha Ji-won garnered attention with her surprise performance of "Home Run" on MBC's "Show! Music Core." At that time, she demonstrated her timeless beauty, well-defined abs, and idol-level stage presence. The video of her performance surpassed 3 million views within just 10 days of its release and is now approaching 3.6 million views, proving her explosive popularity.

Furthermore, beyond the main clip, the performance spread widely across short-form platforms such as Shorts and Reels, igniting discussions in various online communities and on social media networks.

This first pitch was arranged to infuse the players with a spirit of victory, urging them to hit "Home Runs," in line with the song's title. The process of Ha Ji-won preparing for the first pitch will be revealed through the YouTube web variety show "26 Class Ha Ji-won."

Ha Ji-won also shared footage of her practice sessions, which were released via her agency Haewedal Entertainment, showing her throwing strikes precisely into the strike zone. She stated, "I practiced very hard, and I hope my support for the players comes across well," adding, "I sincerely hope the players actually hit home runs so they can be reborn as 'Victory Fairies.'"

Meanwhile, Ha Ji-won is currently appearing in the web variety show "26 Class Ha Ji-won," where she communicates freely with Gen-Z college students after enrolling at Kyung Hee University. She is also preparing to meet audiences through the release of her film "Bi-gwang" on September 2.
