The Los Angeles Dodgers participated in an exhibition game in Seoul, South Korea, this past weekend.
L.A. sports teams generally have sizeable Asian fan bases due to the city’s demographics, and the Dodgers are no exception. As a result, this particular outing was a very highly-anticipated event.
While the game itself was intriguing, the thing that really went viral in the aftermath was the players’ reaction to the ceremonial first pitch.
The video largely speaks for itself:

The woman throwing out the first pitch was South Korean actress Jeon Jong-seo.
Fans couldn’t help but notice how much the Dodgers’ players respected her abilities:

For those who don’t know, that’s Jeon Jong-seo. A very talented and gorgeous Korean actress. One of my favorites.

Shortly after the first pitch, Freddie Freeman homered in his first at-bat in the first inning.
The Dodgers were off the races from that point forward – ultimately securing a 14-3 victory.
Clearly they were very motivated to put on a good show.
Will Jeon Jong-seo ultimately attend any Dodgers games in Los Angeles this year? Time will tell.
