Yeonjun performed on ABC's "Good Morning America" summer concert series Wednesday, becoming only the second Korean solo artist to play the series after BTS's Jungkook. The same day, Big Hit Music confirmed the Tomorrow X Together member will throw the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium on August 13, ahead of the Dodgers' game against the Milwaukee Brewers, as part of the team's Korean Heritage Night.

It's one stop in a dense stretch of U.S. promotion built around Yeonjun's second solo EP, "No Labels: Part 02," led by the track "Ice Cream." After Wednesday's GMA slot, he performs at Z100's "Summer Bash '26" in New York on Thursday, headlines Billboard's "One Night Only" live event on August 12, then flies to Los Angeles for the Dodgers appearance the next day - where he'll also perform as part of Korean Heritage Night's cultural programming. The stretch closes with KCON LA 2026, running August 14 to 16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena: Yeonjun performs a solo set on August 15, and Tomorrow X Together headlines the festival's final night. Five cities, five formats - a television broadcast, a radio festival, a livestreamed showcase, a ballpark and a convention-center arena - inside less than two weeks.

The Dodger Stadium slot puts him in company with two other K-pop-adjacent figures who've thrown first pitches at the same ballpark in the past year: BTS's V on August 25, 2025, and footballer Son Heung-min on August 27, 2025. Between those two appearances and now Yeonjun's, the Dodgers' Korean Heritage Night has become a recurring stage for Korean entertainment and sports crossovers rather than a one-off gesture.

Tomorrow X Together debuted in 2019 with "The Dream Chapter: Star." Eleven days from now, Yeonjun goes from a television soundstage to a pitcher's mound to a festival headline slot - three very different stages, the same U.S. audience each one is aimed at building.
