Highlight members Yang Yoseop and Yoon Dujun will take part in their first-ever ceremonial first pitches at professional baseball games.
Yang Yoseop will throw the first pitch at the Hanwha Eagles vs. Samsung Lions game held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Park on the 14th, and Yoon Dujun will throw the first pitch at the LG Twins vs. Lotte Giants game held at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 15th.
In particular, it is the first time since their debut that Yang Yoseop and Yoon Dujun are participating in ceremonial first pitches in professional baseball, drawing excitement from both K-pop and baseball fans. The two are expected to bring pleasant energy to the players and the crowd with their characteristic bright and positive energy, raising hopes that they might become "victory fairies."
First, Yang Yoseop will attend "Eagle Star Day" as an invitee of the Hanwha Eagles and take the mound as the ceremonial first-pitch thrower. Yang Yoseop said through his agency Around Us, "It's my first time so I'm very nervous, but I will prepare hard. Your support will really give me strength."
Yoon Dujun's ceremonial first pitch came about because of his special connection with LG Twins player Cheon Seong-ho, who has long been one of his true fans. Cheon Seong-ho has used "Shock (쇼크)" as his entrance song, posted messages on the club's YouTube channel wishing for Yoon Dujun's first pitch, and repeatedly shown his fandom, which actually led to the ceremonial first pitch.
Yoon Dujun, who will throw the ceremonial first pitch for the LG Twins, responded, "I am greatly honored to be able to join this meaningful occasion. Thanks to player Cheon Seong-ho mentioning me, it will feel like an even more special moment."
