(G)I-DLE's Minnie takes the Jamsil mound with a Queencard vow

(G)I-DLE's Minnie will stand on a professional baseball mound for the first time in her life. Minnie will appear as the ceremonial first pitcher for the 2026 KBO Regular Season game between the Doosan Bears and the Hanwha Eagles, held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the 11th. The Doosan Bears announced they invited Minnie as the ceremonial pitcher to pray for victory in this game.

Ahead of the pitch, Minnie shared her thoughts, saying, "It is an honor to perform my first ceremonial pitch with the Doosan Bears. Just like my song title, I will become the 'Queencard' who leads the Doosan Bears to victory."
