The LG Twins are excited to have EXO's Xiumin as their special guest for the ceremonial first pitch! On the 18th, the team announced that Xiumin will throw the first pitch for the 4th game of the 2024 KBO League playoffs against the Samsung Lions at Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

Xiumin is known as an 'E-Lin,' a dedicated fan who has cheered for the LG Twins since he was a kid. This isn't his first time on the mound; he previously threw the first pitch at LG home games in 2015 and 2017.

In a statement through the LG organization, Xiumin shared his excitement: "This is my third time throwing the first pitch for the LG Twins, and it is truly an honor to do so in such an important game as an E-Lin. I hope my pitch contributes even a little to LG's victory, and I will cheer hard for the team."

Just a day before, on the 17th, national judo athlete Kim Min-jong, also an 'E-Lin,' threw the first pitch for the playoff game against Samsung. Kim Min-jong, who earned a silver medal in the men's heavyweight category at the 2024 Paris Olympics, reminisced, "I came to watch LG Twins games with my uncle when I was in elementary school, and that’s when I became an E-Lin."

On that exciting day, the LG Twins celebrated a big win, defeating Samsung 1-0. This victory was a much-needed boost after two straight losses in the series. Fans are thrilled to see Xiumin throw the first pitch and are hopeful that his support will inspire the team as they aim for success in the playoffs!
