South Korean actress Jeon Jong-seo leaves jaws dropped in Dodgers dugout

The Los Angeles Dodgers have their fair share of superstars on the roster, but it was the players that were seemingly starstruck during an exhibition in South Korea this week.

It certainly appeared that boys in blue couldn’t get enough of South Korean actress Jeon Jong-seo, who had the honour of throwing out the first pitch before their game against the Kiwoom Heroes.

As the 29-year-old film star stood on the mound to throw out the ceremonial offering, many members of the Dodgers were shown sitting on the top of the dugout, taking it in.

Several of the L.A. stars were seen smiling and chatting as the beauty delivered a well-thrown pitch towards the plate.

She then had a photo op with pitcher Landon Knack, who was lucky enough to get the snap taken with Korean beauty, but has since been sent to the minors to start the season.

Jeon starred in the Netflix film Ballerina and currently appears in the South Korean TV series Wedding Impossible. After the attention she has garnered from her first pitch, the streaming service might see an uptick in searches for her projects.

The Dodgers are embarking a project of their own, getting set to start the 2024 MLB season as the odds-on favourite to win the World Series.

Their season begins Wednesday morning, when they face the San Diego Padres in Korea as part of the Seoul Series. After two games overseas, they will return to face the St. Louis Cardinals next week at home in L.A.

The Dodgers had a tremendous off-season, highlighted by the signings of Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani – a two-time MLB MVP – and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who will be making his MLB debut.

Ohtani was signed to a record-breaking 10-year, $700-million contract in December while Yamamoto later inked a 12-year, $325-million deal.

This adds even more star power to a lineup that already features perennial MVP candidates Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, among other all-stars.
