BTS' J-Hope recently revealed the reaction of his juniors in the military when they first heard the news of his first pitch at the Korean Series Baseball Game. In a recent video, featuring his attendance at the game in his hometown Gwangju, the K-pop idol was also seen enjoying the match to the fullest. 

On December 11, BANGTANG TV posted a new YouTube video titled BTS' J-Hope at the KBO Korean Series. The video showed him preparing for his first pitch and then appearing at the venue for the special moment. While practicing, he talked about how his juniors in the military reacted to the news. "They went crazy when I told them. My juniors are huge baseball fans. They would always watch the matches," he said

The K-pop idol further revealed someone wrote to him that it'd be nice if he were to throw the first pitch, as he would also be discharged around the same time. But at that time, J-Hope thought it'd be too early. However, when he was unexpectedly announced for the same, he wanted to share the news with his juniors at first. 

"I opened the door to tell them and all of them were like 'Wow'!", they revealed that they were already watching g the previous matches and were discussing who would throw the first pitch for KIA Tigers vs Samsung Lions in Gwangju.
