IVE‘s Ahn Yu-jin X Leez’s ‘Strongest Baseball’ ceremonial first pitch and first hit... Lee Dae-ho → Jung Keun-woo also impressed

IVE‘s Ahn Yu-jin and Leez showed off their fighting spirit by throwing the first pitch and hitting the first hit.

Ahn Yu-jin and Leez appeared on the JTBC entertainment program ’Strongest Baseball‘ that aired on the 3rd and threw the first pitch and hit the first hit for the Strongest Monsters and College Baseball All-Star game. The game that day was known to be the last in-person game of the season.

The Strongest Monsters’ manager Jang Si-won surprised the players by announcing that a top-class group would be coming to throw the first pitch and hit the first hit, and revealing that Ahn Yu-jin and Leez would be on the mound. In particular, Lee Dae-ho, Jung Geun-woo, etc. proved the dignity of Ive‘s ‘super president’ by saying, “Our daughter and son like it the most.”

An Yu-jin and Leez created a refreshing and bright atmosphere with their styling that matched the uniforms of the strongest Monsters with jeans. When the two appeared, cheers poured out as if a grand slam had been hit. With the eyes of both the players and the audience focused on them, Ahn Yu-jin took the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher and Leez as the first batter. The two sent messages of support, saying, “This is the last in-game game of the season, so thank you for inviting us. I hope you all don’t get hurt and do your best.” Along with this, they sang Ive‘s hit song ‘HEYA’, livening up the game and conveying pleasant energy.

An Yu-jin skillfully exchanged signs with the catcher and threw the ball with a powerful windup. Leez, who entered the batter’s box, swung the bat powerfully to signal the start of a fighting game, and Ahn Yu-jin and Leez, after throwing the first pitch and hitting the ball with perfect teamwork, waved to the audience and communicated in a friendly manner.

Meanwhile, Ive, which Ahn Yu-jin and Leez are a part of, released its third mini-album, ‘Ive Empathy’, on the 3rd. Leez especially participated in writing the lyrics for the track ‘Thank U’, adding more meaning to the song with sincere lyrics.

Ive, with its pre-released track ‘REBEL HEART’ winning six music show crowns and maintaining the top spot on various music charts, will begin full-fledged promotions with its new song ‘ATTITUDE’.
