Boy group NCT's Jisung will throw the first pitch at the KBO playoff game between the KIA Tigers and LG Twins at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium.
According to Yonhap News on October 20, LG Twins announced that Jisung has been selected as the first pitcher for the third game of the KBO League semifinals (best of five) against the KIA Tigers, taking place at Jamsil Stadium.
After losing the first two games of the semifinals, LG faces elimination if they lose today.
If the visiting KIA Tigers win, Jamsil Stadium will no longer host games as a new stadium is set to be built. This means Jisung could be remembered as the last first pitcher at Jamsil Stadium.
Meanwhile, KIA and LG have announced their starting pitchers for today: Shirakawa for KIA and Carrasco for LG.
The first two games of the semifinals were held on October 17 and 18 at Champions Field in Gwangju, where KIA secured victories in both matches.
In the first game, superstar Kim Do-young (KIA) hit two home runs, leading to a 5-1 win. In the second game, KIA's lineup scored five runs against LG's starter Lim Chan-kyu from the first inning, resulting in a 6-3 victory.
