An Ji-young, the daughter of Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, from the band Bolbbalgan4, sent a coffee truck to the stadium.
An Ji-young stood on the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher at the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League game between the Samsung Lions and the KIA Tigers held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 14th. Dressed in a Samsung Lions jersey with blue jeans, she made a stylish windup before throwing the ball to catcher Kang Min-ho.
Before the game started, she boosted the morale of the players who were on a losing streak with the coffee truck. A cheering banner read, "A snack wishing for victory prepared by Bolbbalgan4, a proud son of Sam-rye." Alongside it, a message stated, "The mighty Samsung unites for victory. Thank you for inviting us to the first pitch of the Moonlight Series."
In particular, she added a witty phrase: "An Ji-young, who is she? Hailing from Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, included in the Samsung Lions' hometown, she hopes to be a victory fairy before her debut first pitch, eagerly wishing to be tied to the pole at the stadium, a pure bloodline born with blue blood as a proud son of Sam-rye."
That day, the home team, the Samsung Lions, started Won Tae-in, while the visiting team, the KIA Tigers, started Yang Hyun-jong. Thanks to An Ji-young's support, the Samsung Lions were leading with a score of 2-1 until the bottom of the 4th inning.
