STAYC proved their Summer Queen status even on the baseball field.
On the 29th, STAYC’s Yoon and Sumin took to the field at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field for the opening game of the weekday series between the KIA Tigers and Doosan Bears. Yoon threw the ceremonial first pitch, while Sumin stepped up as the honorary batter.
Yoon, who hails from Gwangju, shared her excitement, saying, “It’s a special feeling to be standing on the field where I spent so much time as a child.” Sumin added, “It’s an honor to take the batter’s box here in Yoon’s hometown and cheer for the KIA Tigers.” Yoon impressed the crowd with a smooth form and steady throw, while Sumin earned cheers with her confident swing, both wrapping up their moments with success and charm.
The two members engaged with the KIA players and fans with the same poise and energy they bring to the stage, spreading their trademark positive vibes throughout the stadium. Their presence turned the field into a festival-like scene, heating up the atmosphere even more.
Their appearance went beyond just a fun event — it served as another highlight in STAYC’s active promotions following their recent comeback. With the release of their special single “I WANT IT,” STAYC has solidified their presence across performances, music, and variety shows, showcasing their versatility throughout the comeback week.
With its addictive hook and refreshing choreography, “I WANT IT” has captured the essence of summer. Their pitch and bat appearance extended that vibrant energy to the baseball stadium, once again reinforcing their status as standout performers of the season.
During the fifth-inning break, Yoon, Sumin, and Seeun led an on-site “I WANT IT” dance challenge, further igniting the crowd’s excitement. The spontaneous interaction with fans and creative promotion of their new track added a unique and memorable twist, filling the venue with STAYC’s signature feel-good energy.
STAYC is currently continuing promotions for “I WANT IT” while preparing for their upcoming global tour, which includes stops in North America, Taipei, Singapore, and Hong Kong. With their confident stage presence and down-to-earth charm, anticipation is rising for what’s next from the group.
