BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)'s V appeared at the Los Angeles Dodgers' first pitch ceremony and had a video call with major leaguer Kim Hae-sung. On the 26th (Korean time), a video was posted on the official Instagram of the Los Angeles Dodgers with the comment, 'Kim Hae-sung couldn't come to meet his favorite artist V today, so he greeted him via FaceTime.' This is the FaceTime footage exchanged between V and Kim Hae-sung before the first pitch. Kim Hae-sung greeted V on the screen saying, 'Hello. I'm a fan,' and V replied, 'I'm honored too,' and mentioned, 'I heard you couldn't come today due to an injury.' Kim Hae-sung responded, 'Yes, that's right. I really wanted to go.' V said, 'I wish we could have met once...' Kim Hae-sung is currently undergoing treatment in Oklahoma and couldn't meet V directly. He informed V, 'I think I will go this weekend or next week,' and V replied, 'Next time you come to Los Angeles, let's definitely meet then.' Kim Hae-sung smiled broadly and said, 'Really? Thank you.' On the same day, V appeared at the Dodgers Stadium for the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds, throwing the first pitch. When he appeared in a Dodgers uniform, the venue was filled with enthusiastic cheers. As BTS's hit song 'MIC Drop' echoed through the stadium, V threw the pitch with a bright smile. V told Kim Hae-sung, 'Next time, let's definitely meet. I will do my best to throw. I originally wanted to learn, but I have never learned, and I wanted you to teach me, Hae-sung.' Kim Hae-sung replied, 'Next time, I will teach you anytime.' Finally, V clenched his fist and said, 'I will do my best today,' and Kim Hae-sung supported him, saying, 'I will also watch over you.'
