Ji Sung is set to take the mound once again, marking his return to the baseball field after nine years.

He will throw the ceremonial first pitch on April 3 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, where the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League game between the Doosan Bears and the Hanwha Eagles will take place.

A Long-Awaited Return to the Mound

This appearance marks Ji Sung's first ceremonial pitch for Doosan in nearly a decade. He previously took part in 2017, wearing a Doosan uniform and delivering a powerful pitch that drew attention from fans.

At the time, he expressed his deep connection to the sport, describing baseball as a personal dream and sharing his support as both a fan of the game and of the team.

Balancing Sports and Acting

Alongside this special appearance, Ji Sung is also preparing for his next acting project. He is set to star in the upcoming JTBC drama Apartment, where he plays a former gangster running for a residents' association leader position in pursuit of hidden money.

His return to Jamsil not only highlights his long-standing passion for baseball but also adds anticipation to the season-opening atmosphere.
