By Kim Ji-soo

Girls’ Generation will sing the national anthem when the L.A. Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds go head-to-head on July 28, SM Entertainment announced Friday.

Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin currently pitches for the L.A. Dodgers while Choo Shin-soo plays for the Cincinnati Reds.

Girls’ Generation member Tiffany threw the first ball in the Dodgers game against the Arizona Diamondback on May 6, which pitcher Ryu caught as their latest single “I’ve Got a Boy” played in the background.

The baseball game will take place at Dodger Stadium on July 28. The Girls’ Generation’s performance will be part of a “Korea Day” event co-planned by the National Tourism Organization and the LA Dodgers.

A demonstration of taekwondo will also take place, and Korean fans will be distributed to those attending the match. Promotional images of Korea will be aired on electronic display boards.

Unfortunately, all nine members may not be able to attend, because of varying individual schedules.
