"Hello to all Chiba Lotte Marines fans! I'm Hong EUNCHAE from LE SSERAFIM. I'm so excited to be appearing as a special guest for 'BLACK SUMMER WEEK' at the game on August 5th! It's a real honor to be the first person in Japan to throw the ceremonial first pitch, and I'm really looking forward to it! I'm a little nervous, but I'll do my best to throw strike, so I hope you'll come and cheer me on! I'm looking forward to seeing you all!"
