EXO's Xiumin Sends Congratulatory Letter to LG Twins After 2025 Championship Win

Xiumin, a member of the group EXO, revealed his deep affection for the LG Twins baseball team, a passion he inherited from his father.

Xiumin, who hails from Seoul's Seongbuk District, was naturally drawn to the LG Twins, even joining their youth membership program in his childhood, proudly identifying as an 'Ellini' (a term for young LG fans).

His dedication extends to the pitcher's mound; he has thrown ceremonial first pitches at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on three separate occasions – in 2015, 2017, and most recently in 2024. Although two of these appearances were met with losses, preventing him from earning the title of 'Victory Fairy,' Xiumin's priority has always been the team's success over personal accolades.

His deep connection with the LG Twins was further highlighted on the YouTube channel 'Shuming's Ramen Shop,' where he appeared in full LG Twins uniform for a segment discussing his passion for baseball.

The LG Twins have now solidified their position as the top baseball team in Korea, clinching the championship in 2025 by defeating the Hanwha Eagles with a 4-game sweep. This marks their second championship in two years and their first double championship since the 2020 season.

Following this triumphant victory, Xiumin shared his joy with Sports Seoul through a heartfelt letter:

"Hello, this is EXO's Xiumin. Congratulations to the LG Twins on winning the 2025 Korean Series! You provided the fans with immense inspiration through your brilliant games throughout the season, and seeing your efforts culminate in such a beautiful victory makes me, as a fan, incredibly happy and proud. To the players, coaches, and all the LG fans, you worked incredibly hard. I will continue to cheer for the LG Twins! LG Twins Fighting!"

His message conveyed the sincere emotions of a dedicated fan.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically, with comments like "Xiumin is such a true LG fan!" and "He even sent a letter after the championship, that's real dedication!" Many congratulated him and the team on their well-deserved victory.
