Actor Jang Dong-yoon prayed ahead of the ceremonial first pitch for the professional baseball team Samsung Lions, which he supports, but unfortunately, the event was canceled. The game was not held due to rain cancellation.
On the 24th, Jang Dong-yoon shared on his personal social media a photo of him in a Samsung Lions uniform bearing his name, adding, "I'm ready," showing his preparedness for the first pitch.
Earlier that day, Jang Dong-yoon was scheduled to take the mound for the first pitch in a game between Hanwha and Samsung at Daegu Lions Park. However, as weather forecasts indicated the possibility of rain, Jang Dong-yoon's attention was drawn to the likelihood of a failed first pitch.
Being conscious of this, Jang Dong-yoon arrived at Lions Park and posted a photo looking at the field with the comment, "The weather is perfect~!" but included a teary emoji, expressing concern that the game would likely be canceled due to rain.
Following this, he posted a photo of himself praying with his hands together, wishing, "Please stop the rain…" However, about 30 minutes after Jang Dong-yoon's post, the game between Hanwha and Samsung scheduled to be held in Daegu was canceled. The game that was not held will be rescheduled.
As a result, Jang Dong-yoon's first pitch event was also canceled. The day before, Jang Dong-yoon had traveled to Daegu to visit his alma mater, Dongshin High School, and had been touring amusement parks and Dongseongro, praying that he could perform the first pitch, but the weather was not in his favor.
Expectations are building that Jang Dong-yoon's first pitch event may be conducted again in line with the rescheduled game.
Meanwhile, he will meet viewers through the new SBS drama "The Mantis: Original Sin," scheduled to air in the second half of this year.
