Who is Jeon Jong Seo? Everything you need to know about the first pitch sensation from Dodgers vs. Team Korea exhibition game

When the Los Angeles Dodgers faced Team Korea, they had an honorary first pitch thrown out by actress Jeon Jong Seo. Tons of MLB games feature celebrities throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. They're usually connected to the team or the area, and people like George Bush, Floyd Mayweather, Anthony Fauci, Simone Biles, Kanye West and others have done so.

The exhibition between the Korean baseball team and the vaunted Dodgers was held in Korea as part of the Seoul Series. There is a vibrant pop culture in Korea, whether it be in the form of film or music, and Jong Seo is a big part of that.
