> LG Twins have chosen NCT member Ji Seong to throw the ceremonial first pitch for Game 3 of their KBO quasi-playoff series against the KIA Tigers on October 20.

## Key points

1. LG must win Game 3 on October 20 to keep their playoff run alive.
2. The game may be the last professional baseball game at Jamsil Stadium.
3. Ji Seong could be the final ceremonial first-pitch thrower at the venue.

## Who is throwing the first pitch?

LG Twins announced that NCT member Ji Seong will throw the ceremonial first pitch for Game 3 of the KBO League quasi-playoff (best-of-five) against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on October 20, 2026. The club said it selected him for the role.

## Why the game matters

LG lost the first two games of the series, so a defeat on October 20 would end their season. Win or lose, the game may also be remembered as the last professional baseball game held at Jamsil Stadium.

## What happens to Jamsil Stadium?

Jamsil Stadium will be torn down after the 2026 season, and a new stadium will be built on the same site. That makes Ji Seong a possible final ceremonial thrower at the ballpark.

## Fan event

LG said fans who wear team apparel and enter through the first-base inner and outer gates will receive 15,000 cheering towels.

## For international fans

NCT is a large K-pop boy group that has several units, including NCT 127 and NCT DREAM. Ji Seong is a member of the group. Fans outside Korea who want to follow the game can check LG Twins' official channels for broadcast information.

## FAQ

### Why is the October 20 LG Twins game significant?

LG had lost the first two games of the best-of-five quasi-playoff series, so a loss in Game 3 would eliminate them. The game may also be the last professional baseball game at Jamsil Stadium before it is demolished.

### Will Ji Seong be the last ceremonial first-pitch thrower at Jamsil Stadium?

He could be, according to the report, since Jamsil Stadium will be demolished after the 2026 season. The report says he may be the final ceremonial thrower at the venue.
