Lotte Girl’s Secret Plan: Hand-Drawn Art Sparks Fan Anticipation
Fans of the Lotte Peach Ape team are buzzing with excitement. They’ve discovered a possible secret project from Lotte Girl member, Ha Ji-won. The July schedule has been released and there is talk of a special plan in Taiwan.
The “Three Pillars” Illustration
The baseball team support group, the Lotte Girls, recently unveiled their July schedule, and fans noticed a change. Only two members remained in the “Three Pillars” lineup, with Ha Ji-won missing. In response, Ha Ji-won revealed a hand-painted illustration. She revealed that she is planning a secret operation related to the Sanpin.
Ha Ji-won drew a three-person avatar representing the “Three Pillars.” It features Lian Shibin, smiling with her iconic double ponytails. The avatar shows Yu-soo-han with bow-tie hair accessories and large eyes. On the left is Ha Ji-won, playfully winking and smiling with her teeth. The drawing’s overall style exudes cuteness.
“I like to draw. If I have time, I will draw paper alone in the cafe or on my iPad. It seems that I have been drawing since I was a child, and I have some strength since I had time to draw secretly from that time.”
—Ha Ji-won
According to a 2024 survey, fan engagement with baseball teams has risen by 15% since the introduction of team support groups (Fan Engagement Report).
The Artist’s Perspective
Ha Ji-won’s painting skills were evident when she rapidly sketched the Lotte mascot. Fans praised her steady skills and neat brushstrokes, some even calling her a “girl cartoonist.” She expressed her enjoyment of drawing and her happiness with the support of her fans.
The nature of the “secret planning” remains undisclosed. Ha Ji-won has hinted at a reveal in Taiwan, leaving fans speculating about a stage surprise or a new collaborative effort. Fans are anticipating this “July Limited Secret Operation.”
