[TV Daily Kim Ji-ha Reporter] Soyeon from the group (G)I-DLE (Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Ugi, Shuhua) is set to make her debut as a first pitch thrower. She will step onto the mound on May 3rd at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium for the match between LG Twins and NC Dinos.
Previously, Soyeon participated as a first batter at an LG Twins home game in 2023. Returning to Jamsil three years later as a first pitcher, many are eager to see her performance. Notably, she is the second member from her team, following Miyeon, to take on this role for LG, and there’s keen interest in whether she can continue the 'victory fairy' legacy.
Soyeon expressed her excitement stating, “I am truly happy to meet the passionate LG Twins players and fans again. It's an honor to pitch at Jamsil, where I have fond memories as a batter. I will give my best to deliver the energy of victory.” As the leader of (G)I-DLE, she has produced hits like 'Queencard,' 'TOMBOY,' and 'Fate,' showcasing her versatility as a music artist. The group is currently on their fourth world tour and preparing for a comeback in July.
Soyeon's first pitch represents a significant moment in reinforcing her connection with fans. By participating in sports events, K-POP artists like her can enhance their public image and strengthen communication with their fanbases. Her collaboration with LG Twins is likely to evoke a greater sense of community, spreading positive energy among both the team and its supporters.
Moreover, Soyeon has established herself as a producer-type artist in the K-POP scene, showcasing her musical talents and originality. Her production skills have expanded (G)I-DLE's unique identity and style, enhancing their competitiveness in the market. Future activities involving her are highly anticipated.
Additionally, Soyeon's first pitch is part of various events organized by LG Twins, contributing to a closer bond between the organization and its fans. This fusion of sports and music is likely to attract a new audience, making it vital to observe whether such positive synergy can be cultivated in her and (G)I-DLE's upcoming activities.
