[theqoo] WINNER LEE SEUNGHOON, 18 SECONDS BASEBALL MOUND DANCE... NUISANCE CONTROVERSY ENDS, KBO FILES COMPLAINT

A complaint has been filed regarding the dance performance during the first pitch by WINNER's Lee Seun-hoon.

On the 29th, a netizen filed a complaint, stating, "We strongly urge KBO Commissioner Heo Gu-yeon to take immediate action to prevent any 'inappropriate first pitches that disrupt the flow of the game' by sending official notices to each team and implementing thorough countermeasures."

Lee Seunghoon served as the first pitcher at the game between the Lotte Giants and the Hanwha Eagles held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th. Hailing from Busan, Lee Seung-hoon shouted, "Lotte WINNER has arrived. Shout out for the victory, Giants! I’m going to inject the WINNER’s victory energy into this game!" He then pretended to pitch but instead performed a dance on the mound for 18 seconds. Additionally, since it seemed that the performance had not been previously coordinated with catcher Son Seong-bin, Son had to assume a catching stance twice without receiving the ball. Eventually, the ball thrown by Lee Seung-hoon hit the home plate and bounced high, going over Son Seong-bin, who had to get up from his position to retrieve it.

This led to criticism of the 'inappropriate first pitch that could disrupt the flow of the game,' and eventually, a formal complaint was filed.

However, Lee Seung-hoon expressed his satisfaction by uploading a video of his first pitch to his personal account with the caption, "First Pitch Lotte Giants."
