DOKYEOM, a member of the group SEVENTEEN, will be throwing the ceremonial first pitch at a home game for the Doosan Bears in the professional baseball league.
According to his agency, Pledis Entertainment, DOKYEOM was invited as a special guest to the regular season game between the Doosan Bears and the LG Twins, which will take place today (July 26) at 6 PM KST at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. He will take the mound to throw the first pitch, wishing for a Doosan Bears victory.
Through his agency, DOKYEOM stated, “I’m happy to have the honor of throwing the opening pitch for the Doosan Bears once again.” He added, “Last time, I wasn’t lucky enough to bring them a win, but this time I’ll definitely be their good luck charm.”
A well-known baseball enthusiast, DOKYEOM is part of an amateur baseball team. He previously threw the ceremonial first pitch at the Bears’ home opener at the same stadium two years ago. In addition, he gained attention last September for throwing a fastball over 100 km/h during a special segment marking the 100th episode of JTBC’s baseball variety show “Strongest Baseball” (최강야구).
SEVENTEEN, the group DOKYEOM belongs to, will be holding their concert “SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN INCHEON” on September 13 and 14 at the main stadium of the Incheon Asiad.
