Singer Yves will throw the ceremonial first pitch for the first time in her life in her hometown of Busan.
Yves will take the mound as the ceremonial pitcher today (23rd) at 6:30 p.m. at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan for the 2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League game between the Lotte Giants and the SSG Landers.
It is especially meaningful because Yves, who is from Busan, will throw the ceremonial first pitch for the hometown-affiliated Lotte Giants. Yves, performing her first ceremonial pitch since debuting in front of hometown fans, said, "I am very honored to throw the first pitch in my hometown of Busan," and noted, "I hope the players have a good game without injuries. I will also prepare hard and show a great performance."
Having recently released her fourth mini album (EP) NAIL, Yves solidified her position as a global solo artist by successfully completing a large-scale world tour spanning nine European cities and 14 North and South American cities. In addition, she has continued collaborations with prominent international artists such as PinkPantheress and Lolo Zouaï, further expanding her distinctive influence in the global music market.
Following a successful world tour and taking the mound as the ceremonial pitcher, fans are eager to see whether Yves will live up to expectations and act as the Lotte Giants' "victory charm."
Meanwhile, the matchup between the Lotte Giants and the SSG Landers, for which Yves will serve as the ceremonial pitcher, will take place today (23rd) at 6:30 p.m. at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan.
