Group izna members Bang Jimin and Koko will take on their first ceremonial first pitch and at-bat since their debut.

Bang Jimin and Koko will take the mound and the batter's box as the first pitcher and first batter, respectively, in the '2026 KBO League' game between the KIA Tigers and Samsung Lions, held at 5:00 PM on the 7th at Gwangju Kia Champions Field. This game adds special meaning as it marks the final day of the 'Moonlight Series,' a special event hosted by the two clubs.

izna, who previously performed a congratulatory stage at the KIA Tigers' opening series last year, plans to deliver energy wishing for victory through Bang Jimin and Koco's participation in the first pitch and at-bat. Bang Jimin, who is in charge of the first pitch, shared her thoughts, saying, "As this is an opportunity I really wanted to have, I will do my best to be a source of strength for the players." Koco, who is taking on the first at-bat, also expressed her gratitude, stating, "It is an honor to stand in the batter's box in person."

Meanwhile, izna will make a comeback with the release of their 3rd mini album 'SET THE TEMPO' on the upcoming 8th. They will embark on full-scale promotions with this album, which contains a message of continuing their own narrative with a subjective attitude. They plan to promote with the title track 'METRONOME,' which encompasses their ambition to move forward unwaveringly within a steady beat.
