[News Reporter Hwang Hye-jin] Seungmin, a member of the group Stray Kids, successfully threw out his first pitch since his debut.
Seungmin attracted attention when he was selected as the first pitcher for the special game between Team Korea and the LA Dodgers held as part of the 'MLB World Tour Seoul Series 2024 with Coupang Play' at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on March 18th at 7 PM.
Seung-min, who threw the first pitch for the game between Team Korea and the LA Dodgers ahead of the opening game of the Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season held in Korea for the first time, threw a clear strike and received applause from the crowd. The broadcaster expressed their admiration, saying, "It was an accurate strike. Of all the first pitches I've seen, it went into the center of the pitch the most. It was truly a perfect pitch. Joe Kelly must have been surprised."
Seungmin said through his agency JYP Entertainment, "I came to Gocheok Dome as an artist performing in the fall of 2023, and it is very meaningful to be invited and throw the ball as the first pitcher on the mound in such a big game in the spring of 2024. It is the first pitch of Stray Kids' debut and the best of their lives." “I don’t think I’ll ever forget the second pitch,” he said, expressing his connection to Gocheok Dome and his extraordinary baseball fandom.
Meanwhile, Stray Kids, to which Seungmin belongs, will hold its 4th official fan meeting 'SKZ'S MAGIC SCHOOL' at KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Stadium), Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul for three days from the 29th to the 31st. On the 31st, an online paid live broadcast will be held simultaneously through the Beyond LIVE platform.
