Group New Jin's Min-ji came out as the first pitcher of the professional baseball postseason and wished Doosan Bears a victory.

In the first game of the wild card game between KT Wiz and Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd, Min-ji was invited as the first pitchman and took the mound. On this day, Min-ji caught the attention of fans by appearing in Doosan Bears uniform and matching shorts and Nixocks. In particular, Min-ji's small face and neat pitching form wearing a baseball cap received enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Before the first pitch, Min-ji said, "I've been a child member of the Doosan Bears since I was young." It feels really good to be the first pitchman of the postseason. I will send my support to the Doosan Bears so that they can win" expressed his feelings. After Min-ji revealed that she was a fan of the Doosan Bears, requests from New Jin's fans and Doosan fans continued, and finally responded with this first pitch.

The first pitch drew more attention, especially in that it was the first official event since Newzins recently had a conflict with Hive, asking for the return of former CEO Min Hee-jin Adore. Newzins demanded Min Hee-jin's return to the leadership and delivered a message to Hive and Chairman Bang Si-hyuk through emergency live broadcasts, but Hive refused to accept it and said he would hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to re-elect Min Hee-jin as an in-house director instead.

Min-ji sent a message of support to both professional baseball fans and New Jeans fans with the first pitch, and her teammate Hye-in also attended Paris Fashion Week on the 1st. Newzins continues to continue their team activities by continuing to express support for Min Hee-jin, while also not missing communication with fans.
