LG Twins Open Season With Thrilling Home Run And Anthem Revival

In a thrilling showcase of baseball fervor, the 2025 KBO League season kicked off on March 22 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, where the LG Twins faced off against the Lotte Giants before a sold-out crowd. Given the fervor and excitement of the fans, it was a day to remember not just for the exceptional gameplay, but also for its emotional resonance with those who support the LG Twins.

The Twins’ home opener signaled more than just the beginning of the season; it sparked a wave of nostalgia through the revival of the beloved cheering anthem 'Forever LG.' The club fans have longed for its return, and after a hiatus of nearly a decade due to copyright concerns, the song finally echoed through the stadium again. Originally derived from Secret Garden's 'Song from a Secret Garden,' it first graced the fans’ hearts until its discontinuation following the 2016 playoffs. The anticipation culminated with ecstatic cheers when the anthem filled the air post the seventh inning.

Adding to the thrill, LG Twins’ fourth batter, Moon Bo-kyung, made headlines by hitting the first home run of the 2025 season during the first inning. Following two consecutive doubles that set the stage, Moon launched a two-run homer that soared over the right field wall, hitting a remarkable speed of 169.8 km/h and traveling 128.2 meters. His exceptional performance was a delightful start for both his season and the Twins’ journey.

Jamsil Baseball Stadium welcomed a full house for the game against the Giants, capturing the vibrant energy of fans who painted the atmosphere with their excitement. The chanting and cheering provided a lively backdrop as both teams fought fiercely for victory. This sold-out crowd not only marked a successful opening for the KBO League but also resonated strongly with the community of supporters that make baseball in Korea so deeply cherished.

The revival of 'Forever LG' is emblematic of the fans' dedication, as it has transcended mere entertainment to become a significant part of their cultural identity. As one passionate supporter noted, the song is infused with their collective emotion—symbolizing love and loyalty rather than just a straightforward cheer of victory.

This intense emotional connection was recognized by the club's management, with CEO Kim In-seok emphasizing the importance of communication with fans, which influenced the decision to revive the anthem. He expressed hope that this revival would resonate deeply and forge an unforgettable season for LG Twins supporters, saying, "I hope that today’s opening game, along with the revival of 'Forever LG,' will be a memory that fans cherish forever.”.

The experience of watching the game was not just about the sport; it was about the connection with the team, the memories shared, and the aspirations for the upcoming season. Fans took to social media to express their elation over the return of 'Forever LG,' further showcasing how significant this moment was for them.

With Moon's stunning performance, the stage has been set for what promises to be a thrilling season filled with hope and ambition for the LG Twins. As they advance into this new chapter of their franchise, the blend of on-field success combined with the revival of an anthem deeply cherished by the fans might just be the magic formula needed for a victorious campaign.

The excitement surrounding the LG Twins extends beyond the field and into the hearts of many who support them, solidifying their place in the sports landscape of Korea.
