Singer Sunmi's first career attempt at a ceremonial first pitch once again failed to overcome the barrier of weather.
Sunmi was scheduled to take the mound as the ceremonial first-pitch thrower at the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League game between Doosan Bears and Lotte Giants at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 22nd.
Ahead of her first career ceremonial first pitch, Sunmi appeared that day wearing a Doosan Bears uniform paired with short pants, showing off her long proportions. On her back she wore a uniform with her name "SUNMI" and the number 7, completing her preparations for the first pitch.
However, as rain fell before the start of the game the game was ultimately rained out, and Sunmi's ceremonial first pitch was naturally called off as well.
The greater the expectation, the more evident the disappointment. In released footage, Sunmi drew attention by squatting in her uniform with her face buried in her hands, showing her regret.
Especially since this first pitch was Sunmi's first-ever attempt, fans' disappointment continued. Fans responded, "It's a shame — she had even perfectly prepared the uniform," "I hope to see her on the mound next time," and "The rain stopped Sunmi's first pitch," expressing hope for the next opportunity.
