IVE member Jang Won-young turned the Major League Baseball (MLB) stadium into a runway, proving herself as a definitive "lucky charm for victory."
On the 26th (local time), Jang Won-young took the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher at Citi Field in New York City for the game between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dressed in a New York Mets uniform, Jang Won-young appeared to thunderous cheers from the crowd.
Notably, she reinterpreted her name-embroidered Mets jersey into a crop top style, pairing it with bootcut jeans for a stylish look. Her signature refreshing yet elegant vibe blended seamlessly, drawing even more attention.

Responding to the roaring cheers with a smile, she threw the pitch without showing any signs of nervousness despite this being her first time on an MLB mound. The ball reached the catcher cleanly, delighting both the crowd and Jang Won-young herself.
In that game where Jang Won-young's performance stood out, the New York Mets defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3 for a comeback victory. It was yet another proof of "Lucky Bikini" Jang Won-young acting as a "lucky charm for victory."
Following the event, the New York Mets' official SNS posted several photos of Jang Won-young's first pitch alongside the caption: "Jang Won-young of IVE with a sensational first pitch."

Overseas netizens who saw the photos reacted enthusiastically with comments such as "Na Ui (여왕) on the mound?", "Jang Won-young is the reason for the victory," "I hope IVE visits the stadium again soon," "The Mets now have a new reason to win in the future," and "We hope Jang Won-young throws the first pitch again."
Currently, IVE is successfully conducting their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM." They will continue their North American performances of "SHOW WHAT I AM" on August 1st in Los Angeles, 4th in Oakland, 7th in Seattle, and 9th in Vancouver, after stopping in Austin on the 29th, meeting fans globally.
