Uiju expressed his excitement by saying, "It's an honor to throw the first pitch as a fan of the Doosan Bears. I will send strong energy so that the players can have a wonderful game without injuries." Maki also shared his excitement by saying, "I'm happy to be out there with Uiju hyung as the first batter.

&TEAM is a 9-member boy group that debuted in Japan in 2022 with the full support of Bang Si-hyuk, chairman of HYBE. Their third single "Go in Blind," released this year, topped the Oricon daily and weekly charts and received a 'Million' certification from the Japan Record Association. They also proved their hot popularity in Korea by selling out their solo concert at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.
This event is also the first meeting with domestic fans ahead of &TEAM's official debut in Korea. &TEAM is set to release their first mini-album "Back to Life" on October 28 and will kick off their full-scale activities.
