“Baseball Fan” SEVENTEEN’s DK to Throw First Pitch Today (26th): “I’ll Be the Victory Fairy”

SEVENTEEN's DOKYEOM will be throwing out the first pitch at a professional baseball game.

According to Pledis, DOKYEOM has been invited as a special guest to the regular season game between Doosan Bears and LG Twins, taking place today (the 26th) at 6 PM at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. He will take the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher to wish for a Doosan Bears victory.

DOKYEOM shared his thoughts, saying, "I'm happy to once again be the ceremonial pitcher for the Doosan Bears. Last time, I unfortunately couldn't become the victory fairy, but this time, I’ll make sure to be one."

Known as a passionate baseball fan who actively plays in an amateur baseball team, DOKYEOM previously threw the first pitch at the Doosan Bears’ home opener at the same venue 2 years ago. In addition, he made headlines when he threw a fastball over 100 km/h as the ceremonial pitcher for the 100th episode special of JTBC’s baseball variety show “A Clean Sweep” last September.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN, which DOKYEOM is a part of, will hold "SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN INCHEON" at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on September 13th and 14th. They will continue their world tour in November and December, holding a total of 10 performances in 4 domes in Japan.
