The group i-dle (I-dle) hosted the first LA Angels home game pre-performance in history.

The children (Mi-yeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua) attended the LA Angels and Tampa Bay Rays match held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California on the 5th (Korea time). Children invited to Los Angeles Angels for Korean Heritage Night caught the attention of local baseball fans by performing celebratory performances and pitching before the game began.

The children raised the cheer of the site through a celebratory stage before the game. Starting with 'TOMBOY', the children who appeared in LA Angels uniforms with their individuality drew cheers from the audience by showing 'Wife' and 'Queencard'. This is the first time that a singer has performed a pre-performance of his song at the LA Angels home game.

In addition, the children had a meaningful time with batters Mike Trout, Jack Neto, a legendary Korean major leaguer, Kim Byung-hyun, and Dustin Nippert, a former foreign pitcher representing the Korean KBO.

Afterwards, Yu-gi took the mound with the support of the members and showed a strong first pitch with a perfect wind-up movement, bringing the energy of victory for the home LA Angels. Yu Gi "It's an honor to be able to throw the first pitch in MLB. Kim Byung-hyun taught me well, so I was able to pitch beautifully. I was so proud to have a concert with the members", he expressed his feelings.

On the same day, the Los Angeles Angels came from behind to win the Tampa Bay Rays, showing their presence in the U.S. as the `Goddess of Victory.'




Meanwhile, children who appeared on the 2nd and 3rd 'KCON LA 2025' to convey the status of K-pop's representative group will be on the stage of 'ALL THE K-POP STAGE IN MACAU' at the Venetian Arena in Macau on the 9th.
