According to his agency Starship Entertainment, Kiki will pitch the 2025 KBO League regular season game on the 25th. Lee Sol will play as the first pitchman for the Doosan Bears, Sui for SSG Landers, Haum for the Samsung Lions, and Kiya for the Kiwoom Heroes.
Through his agency, Kiki said, "It's such an honor to be able to throw the first pitch on the same day as I did, and I'd like to thank the officials for the great opportunity. We all want to do well because it's our first pitch in our lives. As much as we practiced hard, we want to bring laughter and vitality to the game like the team name 'Kiki', and I hope all the players will not get hurt and the audience will enjoy the game," he said.
Kiki, who will make his debut first pitch, is expected to revitalize each game with energy from a pleasant and freewheeling team atmosphere. In particular, as the debut album 'UNCUT GEM' showed a unique 'ZENJIMI' and five different personalities through the activities of 'UNCUT GEM', attention is being paid to how each member will attract not only the audience on the site but also viewers beyond the screen on the mound.
