Ahead of this LG Twins ceremonial first pitch, JISUNG showed a mix of nervousness and excitement. He mentioned an anecdote from his past where he loved baseball so much that he even broke cups while playing ball with his older brothers at home, revealing that he once dreamed of being a baseball player. This background shows that this ceremonial pitch held more meaning than just a simple event.

Just before the pitch, a process of correcting his posture and preparing followed. He worked to reduce mistakes in actual practice by checking detailed movements, such as how to maintain balance and how to handle his gaze during the pitch. In particular, recognizing that mistakes could occur if his gaze followed the ball, he strove to maintain concentration by keeping his eyes on the umpire. While JISUNG confessed, "I was crazily nervous yesterday," he showed his tension easing by saying, "It was fun" once he blended into the atmosphere of the stadium.

Upon stepping onto the mound, JISUNG proceeded with the ceremonial pitch, expressing his determination to add strength so that the LG Twins could continue their upward trend. He stated, "It is such an honor to do my first-ever ceremonial pitch at the LG Twins," and added, "Since LG is on an upward trend lately, I will add my strength so they can continue that good momentum." After finishing the pitch, he shared his thoughts, saying, "Since it was my first time experiencing this, I was crazily nervous yesterday, but the atmosphere at the baseball stadium was so good that it was fun."

After finishing the pitch, JISUNG experienced the unique dynamic atmosphere of baseball while watching the game. The match was against the Seoul Samsung Thunders, and a tense flow continued as both teams traded runs in a neck-and-neck battle. In particular, as the game moved toward the latter half, the cheering heat intensified, creating a situation where the atmosphere of the stadium shifted.

JISUNG experienced the fun of a baseball game while watching moments when turnarounds occurred during the game and scenes where fans' cheers continued. In a situation where the match fluctuated, such as a turnaround occurring at 4 to 3, JISUNG observed the energy of the scene where strength is imparted to the players as the cheering sounds grow louder. He experienced a unique sense of immersion that can only be felt at a baseball stadium, such as enjoying the game while eating delicious food at the stadium.
