Doosan Bears will throw the ceremonial first pitch for the first game of the Wild Card against KT Wiz at Jamsil Stadium on the 2nd.
On this day, Minji from the group 'NewJeans' will be the pitcher. NewJeans, who debuted in 2022, swept various music and album charts at home and abroad since their first album, receiving much attention. In June, 1 year and 11 months after their debut, they held a fan meeting 'Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome' at Tokyo Dome, setting a record for the shortest time since debuting as a foreign artist.
Minji previously revealed that she was "a Doosan Bears children's member." 'Bunnies' and Doosan Bears fans kept asking for the ceremonial first pitch, and Minji responded.
Minji said, “I’m really happy to be able to throw out the first pitch for the Doosan Bears, whom I’ve cheered for since I was little,” and added, “I’ll do my best to cheer on the Doosan Bears and help them win, as I’ve been given the opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the postseason.”
