Actress 하지원 began full-scale training ahead of her first ceremonial pitch in 12 years.
On the 16th, the YouTube channel 26학번 지원이요 released a video titled "〈Home Run〉 launched a big~ball! Ha Jiwon, attempting a ceremonial pitch for the first time in 12 years — can she become Seung-yo?"
The video showed 하지원 embarking on special training to make up for past regrets ahead of the day of the ceremonial pitch.
That day the production team prepared a cake to celebrate the channel surpassing 100,000 subscribers. After receiving the congratulations, 하지원 thanked the subscribers, put her hands together and prayed, "Let's reach 1 million subscribers," drawing laughs.
Next, the results of a poll held to commemorate reaching 100,000 subscribers were also revealed. When a professional baseball ceremonial pitch was chosen as the top challenge fans wanted for 하지원, she said, "I expected the ceremonial pitch to come up."
Accordingly, 하지원 returned to the mound after 12 years to keep her promise to subscribers. Saying she had three previous ceremonial pitch experiences, she recalled past pitches and showed determination to get it right this time.
하지원 also said she was able to overcome stage fright through "Home Run." She said, "'Home Run' was a work that made even the act of taking on a challenge look beautiful," and added that it led her to like baseball. Vowing, "This time I sincerely want to do well," 하지원 began intensive pitching training to erase the regrets of past ceremonial pitches.
