BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, is gearing up to take the field—but this time, not for a concert. The K-pop superstar will throw the ceremonial first pitch at an upcoming Major League Baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds on August 25. This marks his debut appearance at a U.S. sports event in an official role, adding another milestone to his already dynamic career.
The Dodgers officially confirmed V’s participation on August 17, and within minutes, fans swarmed the MLB and ticketing websites. The sudden traffic spike reportedly caused both platforms to crash temporarily. Social media exploded with excitement, as fans posted reactions like, “That’s the power of Kim Taehyung!” and “We’re going just for V!”
V’s upcoming appearance marks his first ceremonial pitch at an MLB game, making it a major moment not just for BTS ARMYs, but also for K-pop fans worldwide. Fans are already planning to attend the game in Dodgers gear and show their support in the stands. Some even mentioned tailgating outside the stadium ahead of the event.
