A Grand LA Two-Shot… BTS’s V and Shohei Ohtani Share Bright Smiles



BTS member V met Japanese baseball legend Shohei Ohtani.



On August 25 (local time), Major League Baseball (MLB) shared multiple photos of V on its official social media accounts. V had been invited as the ceremonial first pitcher at the LA Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds game held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.



In the photos, V is seen greeting Ohtani with a hug and posing together.



Earlier that day, V energized the crowd by shouting, “It’s time for Dodger baseball!” before successfully delivering the first pitch. Meanwhile, BTS is currently working hard toward a comeback, with a target set for the spring of 2026.
