Kael from the group LUN8 (Fantagio) will throw the ceremonial first pitch to celebrate the victory of the professional volleyball team.

Lunet Kael will be the ceremonial first pitcher at the 2024-2025 V-League Korea Electric Power Big Storm vs. OK Savings Bank game to be held at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium on the afternoon of the 13th.

Kael is the tallest player on the team at 186cm and had been a volleyball player until her sophomore year of college before her debut, so expectations are high for this first pitch.

In addition, she attended the 2023-2024 season Women‘s Professional Basketball game earlier this year and threw the first pitch and performed a special performance, and in September of last year, she showed off her extraordinary athleticism by throwing the first pitch and hitting the first batter with Takuma at the 2024 KBO League LG Twins and Lotte Giants game, respectively.

Kael, who will be stepping onto the volleyball court for the first time in about 4 years, said through her agency Fantagio, “I have new feelings and am excited but also nervous to be the ceremonial first pitcher and not a player. After quitting volleyball and preparing to become an idol, my dream was to throw the first pitch on the court, so I’m grateful for providing a place where I can achieve this dream,” he said with overwhelming emotion.

He continued, “I hope you receive my energy and win. I will always cheer you on. Fighting, KEPCO!” He gave a powerful cheer.

Lunate released their third mini-album ‘AWAKENING’ last August and showed off their hip yet refreshing charm with the title song ‘WHIP’. With this promotion, Lunate achieved their highest initial album sales and entered the iTunes top album charts in six regions, continuing their rapid rise both domestically and internationally.
