Ha Ji-won will become the first Korean actress to step onto the mound at Boston's Fenway Park in Major League Baseball (MLB).

Ha Ji-won is scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch on the 21st (local time) at a regular-season MLB game between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles, held at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

This first-pitch ceremony, taking place at Fenway Park—a historic stadium representing Major League Baseball—holds special significance as it marks the first time a Korean actress has performed this role.

The event was organized as part of MLB's ongoing global efforts to connect with fans worldwide through the intersection of sports and entertainment, and is expected to serve as a meaningful cultural exchange bridging Korean entertainment and Major League Baseball.

Previously, Ha Ji-won drew widespread attention for throwing the ceremonial first pitch at a game between LG Twins and KT Wiz held on the 16th at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Despite it being her first time in 12 years, she captivated fans with her "vampire-like beauty" as well as her perfect pitching form. Expectations are high for what kind of performance Ha Ji-won will deliver during this MLB ceremony.

Ha Ji-won stated, "I am deeply honored to throw the first pitch at Fenway Park, a historic stadium representing Major League Baseball, as the first Korean actress. Having practiced diligently, I hope to present a wonderful performance. Beyond conveying a spirit of victory to the Boston Red Sox players, I look forward to sharing this precious moment with Korean expatriates watching the MLB game on-site and baseball fans around the world."

Meanwhile, Ha Ji-won is currently enrolled at Kyung Hee University and is gaining strong positive responses for appearing in the web variety show "26th Grade Support," where she freely communicates with MZ generation college students while pursuing diverse challenges. She is also scheduled to meet audiences through her upcoming film "Bi-gwang" on September 2.
