Channel A's variety program 'Baseball Queen 2' will reveal the Black Queens' Season 2 opening game in its second broadcast. In the episode airing on the 16th at 10 PM, five new players from various sports backgrounds—including Park Min-seo, Choi Hye-bin, Kim Na-young, Kim Se-hyun, and Song Min-ji—will join the team, significantly bolstering its roster.

The opening game lineup is unconventional, as 'skill' directly equates to 'survival.' With a rule stipulating that failure to achieve a .600 winning percentage will result in the team's disbandment, manager Choo Shin-soo decided the roster strictly based on ability, without giving priority to returning players. Manager Choo stated, "We decided not to give existing players the first opportunity and determined the lineup strictly by skill without exception."

As a result, newly acquired Park Min-seo will play shortstop and Choi Hye-bin will play third base, leading to changes in the positions of existing players. Notably, players who were starters in Season 1 but were dropped from this lineup will watch the game from the dugout, expressing complex emotions as they say, "I realize the dugout is a comfortable yet uncomfortable place..." evoking sympathy from viewers.

Meanwhile, Song Ah, who focused on pitcher training during the offseason and made remarkable progress, has been selected as the starting pitcher, drawing attention. Song Ah could not hide her joy, saying, "Starting Season 2, my goal was to pitch one inning, and I am overwhelmed with emotion to have my wish come true." She added with strong determination, "I will show a clearly different side of myself as a pitcher."

The Black Queens' opponent in the opening game is no pushover. The 'Santaz,' ranked 9th nationally in women's baseball for 2025, boast a formidable offense with a team batting average of .407. Notably, the Santaz roster includes a player currently posting a batting average even higher than Song Ah's .655, setting the stage for an intense hitting battle.

Meanwhile, to add to the excitement of the day's game, singer Choo will take the mound as the honorary first pitcher, and manager Choo Shin-soo will serve as the honorary first batter, further elevating the atmosphere at the venue.
