Actor Lee Jung-jae will take the mound for a ceremonial first pitch during the LG Twins’ home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 31st.  

On August 28, the LG Twins announced that Lee Jung-jae, who has gained worldwide fame through the "Squid Game" series, will step onto the Jamsil mound once again as part of a special ceremonial event.  

Lee Jung-jae previously served as a ceremonial pitcher alongside actor Jung Woo-sung in August 2022. After three years, he has been invited again by the LG Twins to participate in this iconic baseball tradition.  

“I feel both excitement and nervousness to be pitching again after three years,” shared Lee Jung-jae. “As a fan of the LG Twins and someone who loves baseball, I hope to bring some positive energy to the stadium.”  

Meanwhile, for the upcoming 29th, Seo Guk-jin, Chairman of the Korea Association Against Drug Abuse, will take the mound for another ceremonial first pitch during the next Kiwoom Heroes matchup. Seo will deliver a message emphasizing that “drug use is a disease, and we must work together for a healthier society.” Additionally, Han Chang-gil, who achieved recovery support through the 1342 Courageous Step Center, will participate as the ceremonial batter.
