Neither New Jin's Minji nor Jeon Hyun-moo became 'Seungyo'.
The first wild card game between Doosan and KT at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 2nd. Min-ji, a member of the girl group New Jeans, visited Jamsil Stadium to pitch the first postseason game.
Min-ji, who is known to be a former Doosan Bears children's fan, took the mound wearing a Doosan uniform and hat and threw a powerful first pitch.
After the first pitch, Min-ji did not leave the stadium, sat in the center designated seat and cheered with Doosan fans until the end of the game. After the inning, Min-ji also performed a dance in front of baseball fans when New Jeans' music played in the ballpark.
Min-ji said, `It feels really good to be the first pitchman of Doosan, which I've been rooting for since I was young. As I am in charge of the first pitch of autumn baseball, I will cheer for Doosan to win." However, Doosan lost to KT. Doosan, which gave up the second game of Waka, had no choice but to close the fall baseball early.

Game 1 of the semi-PO between LG and KT at Jamsil Stadium on Oct. 5. Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo, known as LG Twins 'True Fan', pitched the first pitch. Jeon Hyun-moo is on August 15, 2013. LG - Hanwha (6-4) game, May 12, 2017. In the LG - Hanwha (3-5) game, he also pitched as the first pitchman for the LG Twins' victory.
Jeon Hyun-moo said on the broadcast that LG, which was winning seven consecutive games at the time in 2017, lost three consecutive games after he threw the first pitch. However, in reality, LG won one game after two consecutive losses since May 12, 2017, but has since lost four consecutive games, falling into a swamp of sluggishness for a while with one win and six losses after Jeon Hyun-moo's first pitch. He threw the first pitch hoping for LG's victory, but only got a bitter nickname 'losing fairy'.
Doosan succeeded in selecting Min-ji, a girl group that no one expected to throw this year's postseason. However, Min-ji failed to become the winning fairy by losing the game.
Jeon Hyun-moo shouted "Jeon Hyun-moo" to pray for LG to win the Korean Series for the second consecutive year, but failed to achieve his victory wish.

On the other hand, LG won the second round of the semi-PO, where singer and actor Lee Seung-gi was the first pitch. Lee Seung-gi, a well-known LG Twins fan for a long time, was able to become the winning fairy that fans wanted.
In recent years, stars are often pitching for the team they really support, not for advertising purposes. He is willing to take time out for his favorite team and pitch.
Stars will want to win the game they threw the first pitch, but the results are not all satisfactory.
Jeon Hyun-moo, who finished the first pitch like Min-ji, also remained at Jamsil Stadium until the end to cheer. In addition to the first pitch, they were able to enjoy autumn baseball with baseball fans.
You may want stars who support the same team with you to become victory fairies, but baseball doesn't work out as you want.
