A Grand Slam Debut—Literally
Rising K-pop girl group AtHeart is heading to the ballpark—and not just to watch the game. On June 26 at 6:30 p.m. KST, members Nahyun and Arin will take on the ceremonial first pitch and first batting duties at Seoul’s iconic Jamsil Baseball Stadium. The event is part of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO league showdown between the Doosan Bears and NC Dinos.
From Stage to Stadium
“It’s such an honor to throw the first pitch at Jamsil Stadium,” Nahyun shared ahead of the event. “We want to share AtHeart’s energy with everyone cheering for the game.” Arin added, “I’m nervous, but I’ve been practicing hard for my first at-bat. I’ll show my best side!”
The duo’s appearance marks their first time stepping onto the mound and into the batter’s box. Known for their vibrant energy, they’re expected to fire up the fans on and off the field.
‘Plot Twist’ Powers the 5th Inning
As if the first pitch and at-bat weren’t enough, AtHeart will also hit the stage—literally. During the mid-game cleaning break after the fifth inning, all members will perform their debut song “Plot Twist”, turning the baseball diamond into a mini concert stage.
A Rookie Group Making Global Noise
Debuting in August with their first EP ‘Plot Twist’, AtHeart instantly grabbed headlines from major global media like Hollywood Reporter, NME, and Rolling Stone, all calling them a K-pop group to watch in 2025.
Their debut single didn’t just chatter—it charted. The track topped the Korean chart on China’s Kugou Music, one of the country’s Big Four music platforms. It also secured strong positions on QQ Music and NetEase charts.
YouTube Power Players
AtHeart is also crushing it online. Since debuting, the group has racked up over 16 million audio streams and more than 15.6 million views on the “Plot Twist” music video—no small feat for a rookie girl group.
Now with their high-energy stadium appearance, AtHeart is adding a few fastballs to their fast-growing résumé—and proving they can command both a stage and a stadium.
Baseball, Beats, and the Beginning of a New Era
If this is what AtHeart is doing just months after debut, K-pop fans are right to keep their eyes (and ears) open. From pitching on the mound to pitching chart-topping hits, this girl group is clearly swinging for the fences.
