Members of the popular K-pop act Girls Generation will sing Korea’s national anthem at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on July 29 (KST) in a ceremony before a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds.
The Dodgers are the team of Korean rookie pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin, while the Reds employ star Korean outfielder Choo Shin-soo.
According to S.M. Entertainment Tuesday, Girls Generation members Taeyeon, Tiffany and Sunny have been invited to attend “Korea Day,” organized by the Korea Tourism Organization, and one of them will throw the first ball of the game.
After the game, the members will attend the ceremony where they will be appointed as Honorary Ambassadors for Korea tourism.
Ryu also will attend the event.
Since the game is expected to present two Korean Major League Baseball players’ first showdown, the event is anticipated to draw big attention from the locals with the Girls Generation’s special performance.
For Tiffany, it is her second visit to the stadium after she threw the first ball of the game between the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks on May 6.
Signing a multiyear deal with the Dodgers in the winter, Ryu has been enjoying a solid rookie season. His seven wins are second only to the team’s No. 1 starter Clayton Kershaw and he has managed to keep his earned run average below 3.00 as well.
Choo, in his eighth major league season, is having a career year at the age of 30, batting .272 with 12 home runs and 29 RBIs. His on-base percentage of .416 is the third-highest in the majors.
