The Lotte Giants players will wear UNICEF uniforms during the game. The club will allocate part of the ticket proceeds to the Korean Committee for UNICEF, and all proceeds from the player memorabilia flea market held this year will also be donated.


Supermodel Kwon Eun-jin, who launched the fashion brand Jinbabi, said, "I feel infinitely honored to serve as the ceremonial first pitch thrower at the UNICEF Series hosted by the Lotte Giants, a team I have been a fan of for a long time," adding, "I am grateful to be able to participate in such a meaningful event by donating Jinbabi T-shirts and contributing to a good cause."



She continued, "I hope that the Lotte Giants and the Korean Committee for UNICEF will continue to show more interest in children," and added, "I will also support and participate as much as I can."
