BTS' V to throw first pitch at Dodger Stadium next Monday

SEOUL, Aug. 18 (Yonhap) -- V of South Korean boy band BTS will throw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers' home game next Monday, the Major League Baseball team and his agency announced.

"ARMY, you ready? V will be at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 25 to throw out the ceremonial first pitch!" the club said on X, sharing a photo of the K-pop star. ARMY is the name of the devoted BTS fandom.

It will be V's first ceremonial pitch at an MLB game, according to his agency, BigHit Music.

The appearance comes two days before South Korean soccer star Son Heung-min is scheduled to throw the first pitch at the same stadium on Aug. 27.

Son joined Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC earlier this month as a forward after spending a decade with Tottenham in England's Premier League.
