Kim Taehyung, also known as V from the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, is set to make a special appearance at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on August 25, 2025. The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that V will be throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the game against the Cincinnati Reds.

The Dodgers made the announcement on August 17 (local time) via their social media channels, posting a photo of V with the caption, "ARMY, you ready? V will be at Dodger Stadium on August 25 to throw out the ceremonial first pitch!". The news quickly ignited excitement among fans, causing a surge in traffic on ticketing platforms.

This event marks V's first time throwing a ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball (MLB) game. The ceremonial first pitch is a tradition in baseball where a guest of honor throws the ball to mark the beginning of the game. Often, this honor is given to celebrities, athletes, or public figures.

ARMY, the name for BTS's devoted fanbase, expressed overwhelming pride and enthusiasm upon hearing the news. Some fans have shared plans to attend the game, while others intend to watch online. There is also speculation among fans about whether other BTS members will attend to support V.

V's appearance at Dodger Stadium highlights the increasing crossover between K-pop culture and American sports. His participation is expected to draw a significant crowd and enhance visibility for both the Dodgers and V.

The event also underscores the growing relationship between sports and entertainment figures, with soccer star Son Heungmin scheduled to throw the first pitch at Dodger Stadium on August 27, just two days after V.

V's appearance follows the completion of his mandatory military service in June. All seven members of BTS have now completed their military service. BTS is currently preparing for a comeback as a full group, with a new album planned for spring 2026 and a world tour to follow. The group has been working on music production and performance preparation in the United States since July.

In 2019, fellow BTS member Suga visited Dodger Stadium as a fan of pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin.
