The 'MZ wannabe icon' IVE's Ahn Yujin will appear at the Daejeon World Cup Stadium.
According to her agency Starship Entertainment, Ahn Yujin will serve as the ceremonial kickoff for the match between Daejeon Hana Citizen and Anyang FC in the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' Round 11, which will be held on the 3rd at 4:30 p.m.
Ahn Yujin, who has been active as an advertising model for Hana Financial Group since 2023, is expected to wish for a Daejeon victory through the ceremonial kickoff and energize the Daejeon Hana Citizen players together with the home fans.
Through her agency, Ahn Yujin expressed, "It is such an honor to support the Daejeon Hana Citizen's victory in my beloved Daejeon! I am very excited for this ceremonial kickoff after a long time, and I will do my best to send good energy to the players! Daejeon Hana Citizen fighting!"
Ahn Yujin, born in Daejeon and raised there until middle school, is known as "Daejeon's daughter." Having shown deep affection for Daejeon through various broadcasts and content, she previously participated in a ceremonial kickoff event for Daejeon Hana Citizen after being chosen as an advertising model for Hana Financial Group. Despite being a weekday, the match for which Ahn Yujin will serve as the ceremonial kicker sold out all first-floor seats within 5 minutes of ticket sales opening, marking the highest attendance for a weekday K League match in 2023.
Ahn Yujin, who serves as the leader of IVE, "a leading K-pop group," boasts comprehensive skills as an idol, excelling in visuals, vocals, performances, entertainment, and hosting, making her a true "all-arounder."
Recently, she participated for the first time in a drama OST performance through the tvN drama "Resident Playbook" OST Part 2 "Sunny Day" and has been bringing great laughter to viewers every Friday through the tvN variety show "Bbang Bbang Earth Arcade 3." Additionally, she is set to appear in the lineup of the upcoming Netflix variety show "Crime Scene Zero," hinting at her all-around activities in 2025.
Meanwhile, IVE, of which Ahn Yujin is a member, will launch its self-reality content "1.2.3 IVE Season 6" starting on the 9th, airing every Friday at 7:30 p.m. on IVE's official YouTube channel.
