TXT, after Yeonjun and Son Heung-min, set to take the mound at Dodger Stadium… set for first pitch on the 13th

“Global pop star” to take over the mound… a powerful synergy between sports and K-culture

Yeonjun of the group “Tomorrow X Together” (TXT) is set to take the mound at the heart of Major League Baseball (MLB): “Dodger Stadium.” Building on the trail blazed by top-tier stars such as BTS’s V and South Korea’s national soccer team captain Son Heung-min, he takes over the famed stage—one that carries the footprints of those leading celebrities—and once again proves his unmatched standing as a global K-pop artist.

According to BigHit Music, Yeonjun is set to appear as the official ceremonial first-pitch thrower for the regular-season matchup between “the Los Angeles Dodgers” and “the Milwaukee Brewers” on the 13th (local time) in Los Angeles, United States. A K-pop star being invited to headline the world’s most prestigious sports platform is, in itself, clear evidence of his formidable global influence.

His appearance on the mound on that day goes beyond a simple first-pitch event. Yeonjun will also attend “Korean Cultural Heritage Night”, the Dodgers’ signature annual cultural event planned to promote the value of Korean culture, and will put on a special performance. It is expected to be a symbolic stage that imprints the dynamism of K-culture for tens of thousands of local fans who come to the ballpark.
