WINNER's Lee Seung Hoon is facing criticism for his controversial first pitch.

On August 28, Lee Seung Hoon took the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher at the Lotte Giants vs. Hanwha Eagles game at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan. Being a Busan native, he energized the crowd by saying, "Lotte's winner is here. Shout for victory, Giants!"

However, the excitement quickly turned into disappointment. Instead of throwing the pitch right away, Lee Seung Hoon performed part of the choreography from his solo album's title track "MY TYPE," which was released last month.

Catcher Son Seong Bin got into position twice, waiting for the pitch, but Lee Seung Hoon continued dancing, raising suspicions that this impromptu performance wasn't planned.

Eventually, Son Seong Bin had to move near the netting behind the dugout to catch the pitch, which angered many fans. Adding to the frustration, Lotte's starting pitcher Charlie Barnes had to readjust the mound before pitching, possibly due to the lengthy performance.

The game was a crucial mid-season match against Hanwha, making Lotte fans especially upset. To make matters worse, Lotte lost 7-0, leaving fans disappointed.

After Lee Seung Hoon posted a video of his first pitch on social media, it was met with a mix of reactions.

Critical comments included, "Why are you dancing on the mound? It's disruptive," "Never throw the first pitch at Sajik again. There are rules against disruptive pitches, and this was way over the top. The players are the stars of the field," and "What do you think the first pitch is for?"

But there were also supportive voices saying, "Why blame the first pitcher for the loss?" and "It was fun to watch. A cheerful first pitch."

Seo In Guk’s sister is making waves with a post that has everyone talking!

On December 25th, Seo In Guk’s sister shared a screenshot of a conversation between them on the official social media account of the café she runs. In the message, Seo In Guk sent money to his sister twice, saying, “I’ll give mom and dad some pocket money and buy delicious food for the nieces and nephews.”

However, it was the heartfelt message from his sister that really grabbed attention. She wrote, “As of today, I am withdrawing my support for Seo In Guk. From now on, I am no longer a supporter but will become one with Seo In Guk. Any attacks on him will be considered attacks on me.”

She continued with an emotional tribute to her brother: “If there are 7 billion people in the world who support Seo In Guk, I would be one of them. If there are 100 million fans of Seo In Guk, I would be one of them. ”

She added, “If there are 10 million fans of Seo In Guk, I would still be one of them. If there are 100 fans of Seo In Guk, I would still be one of them. If there is only one fan of Seo In Guk, it would probably be me. If there are no fans of Seo In Guk, then I would no longer exist in this world.”

She ended her post with powerful words of praise: “Seo In Guk, my light. Seo In Guk, my darkness. Seo In Guk, my life. Seo In Guk, my joy. Seo In Guk, my sorrow. Seo In Guk, my rest. Seo In Guk, my soul. Seo In Guk, just the light.”

Fans couldn’t help but wonder how much money Seo In Guk had sent, especially given the overwhelming love in his sister’s message.

Seo In Guk’s sister owns a café in Ulsan, and the actor himself previously made headlines when he worked part-time at the café. This new post is sparking more interest in their close relationship and Seo In Guk’s thoughtful gesture.
