BTS's V managed to steal the attention with his stunning performance when throwing the first ball (ceremonial pitch) at the Major League Baseball (MLB) match between the LA Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, United States on August 25, 2025.
Wearing an LA Dodgers uniform, V stepped onto the pitcher's mound to the cheers of the packed stadium. BTS's hit song, "MIC Drop," echoed throughout the arena, adding to the lively atmosphere.
With a bright smile, V threw the ball with confidence, captivating the crowd and earning praise from the game commentators. Not only that, V rocked the atmosphere again by shouting, "It's time for Dodger baseball!"—a legendary phrase popularized by iconic LA Dodgers announcer Vin Scully.
This action sent the crowd into hysterics and added to the positive energy at Dodger Stadium. V's presence as the starting pitcher proved to be a significant impact. According to ticket sales platform StubHub, game ticket sales jumped fivefold following the announcement of V's participation.
In fact, ticket booking sites experienced disruptions due to the high fan enthusiasm. Match commentators praised V as a "global sensation" and called his pitch an "incredible curveball," even joking that he deserved to be drafted immediately.
Through his agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, V shared his impressions of the experience. "I went to an LA Dodgers game with the BTS members when they first debuted. Coming back here brings back nostalgia and is so much fun." "Pitching in this memorable place was an incredible experience.
I want to learn more and maybe try again in the future. Thank you to ARMY and baseball fans for their incredible support," he said. V's appearance this time once again demonstrates his extraordinary influence, not only among K-pop fans but also in the world of sports.
In addition to his active music career, V is now also a model for various well-known brands, ranging from luxury fashion and global beverages to premium outdoor products, demonstrating his widespread appeal across various fields.
Meanwhile, BTS is preparing for a comeback in spring 2026 with a new album and plans for a large-scale world tour. Fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the group's return.
