Making His MLB Debut Appearance

The Dodgers announced the news through their official account on August 17 (local time). V is scheduled to throw the opening pitch on August 25 at the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds.

Following in the Footsteps of Son Heung-min

The Dodgers have previously invited global stars to the pitcher's mound. Soccer player Son Heung-min, who recently transferred to Major League Soccer team LAFC, is also slated to throw the first pitch at the Dodgers' game on August 27.

Anticipation from ARMY and Beyond

This marks V's first major public stage in the U.S. since completing his military service on June 10. BTS members have been staying in Los Angeles since July, focusing on preparations for their highly anticipated full-group comeback set for the first half of next year.

With his charm and global popularity, V's upcoming appearance at Dodger Stadium is expected to draw excitement not only from ARMY but also from baseball fans around the world.
