Nervousness before the "dream stage" of Gocheok Sky Dome

As the Gocheok Sky Dome is considered a "dream stage" for idols, the members of AtHeart expressed both excitement and nervousness while on-site. In a video, the members shared their preparation process, stating, "We practiced with three different keys yesterday. Won't we be so nervous that we'll end up singing in a key we didn't intend?" In particular, members who were singing in front of a large audience for the first time revealed they had undergone realistic practice, noting, "It is our first time trying to sing without accompaniment and without wearing in-ears."

Ahead of the ceremonial pitch, the members conducted simulations on-site to coordinate their timing. Drawing on their experience enjoying sports such as badminton and tee-ball, the members participated in the ceremonial pitch by throwing balls directly in the stadium, adding to the heat of the scene.

Passion shown by mastering baseball cheering songs

AtHeart prepared to synchronize with baseball fans by learning the cheering songs of the Kiwoom Heroes players to match the flow of the game. The members showed themselves studying by checking the players' lineup and sharing videos of the cheering songs. In the video, they also shared a situation where they had to learn new songs for players not included in the day's lineup, saying, "The players I studied so hard to memorize yesterday and today didn't appear even once, so I had to memorize everyone anew."

When the singing of the national anthem followed during the game, the members performed with passion as they had practiced. Their voices, echoing through the grand atmosphere of the Gocheok Sky Dome, melted the tension of the scene and signaled the start of the game.
