Actor Lee Joon Throws First Pitch at 2026 KBO Game as LG Twins Face Hanwha Eagles in Seoul’s Jamsil Baseball Stadium

LG Twins secured a 3-0 victory over the Hanwha Eagles in a 2026 KBO League matchup held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. The shutout win was powered by strong pitching performances and timely offensive execution.

Starting pitcher Wells delivered eight scoreless innings, forming the foundation of LG’s success on the mound. His outing was complemented by Ryu Yeong-chan, who recorded his 11th consecutive successful save opportunity to close out the game.

The Eagles were held scoreless throughout the contest, managing only scattered hits against LG’s pitching staff. LG’s offense produced just enough runs to support the pitching effort, with the trio of scores coming across multiple innings to build a comfortable lead.

Prior to the game, actor Lee Jun participated in the ceremonial first throw, a traditional pre-game event in the KBO League. Following his pitch, Lee was seen celebrating with the LG cheerleading squad, joining in the stadium atmosphere as fans filled the Jamsil Baseball Stadium seats.

The victory contributed to LG Twins’ standing in the 2026 KBO League season, adding to their win total in what has been a competitive campaign. For the Hanwha Eagles, the loss marked another challenge in their ongoing season as they seek to improve their position in the league standings.

Jamsil Baseball Stadium, located in the Songpa-gu district of Seoul, served as the venue for the matchup. The stadium, a regular host for KBO League games, provided the setting for the evening contest under typical spring conditions for the Seoul metropolitan area.
