Following the appointment ceremony of the PR ambassador position for Busan city, Kang Daniel will throw the opening pitch for a professional baseball game.
On July 3, Konnect Entertainment said, "Following the ceremony of appointing Busan PR Ambassador, Kang Daniel will take the opening pitch for the match between Lotte Giants and NC Dinos under "2019 Shinan Bank My Car KBO League" at the Sajik Baseball Stadium, Busan at 6 pm (KST) July 9."
On the same day, Kang Daniel will also receive the credential for the position of PR ambassador from the mayor of Busan, Oh Keo Don. The whole process of the appointment ceremony will be broadcast live on the official SNS channel of Busan city (Facebook, YouTube) and official SNS of Busan Tourism Organization (Facebook).
Earlier, in April, Busan city held an event which allowed the citizen to nominate a PR ambassador for the city who best suited Busan's attraction and Kang Daniel was chosen. PR ambassador is an unpaid honorary position and will conduct public service activities for the sake of the people.
Notably, the opening pitch this time is even more meaningful as it's Kang Daniel's long-time dream. In a live broadcast with fans in 2018, the male idol confided, "I want to make the opening pitch for the match at Lotte's home side, my hometown team, on Sajik Baseball Stadium."
Besides, Kang Daniel has recently established a single-person company called Konnect Entertainment and officially worked solo. Lim Kwang Wook (Kei Lim) - CEO of Devine Channel music production company which brought many hit songs for Hallyu idols - participated in as the main producer and the recording has completed recently. Currently, Kang Daniel is concentrating on dance practice and preparing for the comeback.
