Actor Park Ji-bin to Throw First Pitch for LG Twins, Stars in Upcoming Film 'My Name Is'

Actor Park Ji-bin is set to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the LG Twins on the 11th.

Park Ji-bin will meet baseball fans as the ceremonial pitcher for the upcoming LG Twins home game. Known for his limitless transformations in each of his roles, fans are eager to see what energy he will bring to the baseball field.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Park Ji-bin stated, “I am honored to be the ceremonial pitcher for the LG Twins. I hope the players have a great season without injuries, and I will cheer passionately alongside the LG Twins fans.”

Building on his solid acting skills honed since his childhood, Park Ji-bin has continuously challenged himself with new roles in various genres, including Disney+'s 'The Killer's Shopping Mall', tvN's 'Blind', and KBS2's 'Bloody Heart'. His deep acting ability, which often blurs the line between good and evil, has received widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics. His relentless acting transformation is expected to shine in director Jung Ji-young's new film 'My Name Is', set to release on April 15.

'My Name Is', directed by Jung Ji-young, is his 20th feature film. It is a mystery drama that intertwines the story of an 18-year-old son, Young-ok, who wants to erase his outdated name, and his mother, Jung-soon, who confronts her memories of Jeju in 1949. Based on the Jeju 4.3 Incident, the film powerfully highlights the violence of state power and the tragedy of school violence. In the film, Park Ji-bin plays 'Kyung-tae', a transfer student from Seoul who incites hierarchy and division among classmates. Park Ji-bin is set to captivate audiences with a cold and sharp performance, different from his previous roles, heightening the film's tension.

While his character in the film is a chilling figure at the center of conflict, on the mound, Park Ji-bin is expected to unite the LG Twins and their fans with his spirited pitch as a 'victory fairy'.

The film 'My Name Is' will be released in theaters nationwide on April 15.
