NCT's Johnny is teaming up with Major League Baseball for a K-pop trivia challenge, according to @NCTsmtown. The quiz puts fans' knowledge to the test with a pointed question: which of four groups — BTS, IVE, RIIZE, or LE SSERAFIM — has actually performed at Dodger Stadium?
What We Know About the Quiz
The challenge was shared by the official NCT account on X, @NCTsmtown, under the hashtags #MERRYTALK and #MAJORLEAGUETALK — the Korean versions of those tags, #메리톡 and #메이저리그톡, were also included in the post. The quiz lives on MLB's social platforms and is presented by Johnny himself, making it a proper hosted segment rather than a simple social media poll.
Johnny and MLB: An Ongoing Collaboration
This trivia moment is part of a continuing partnership between NCT's Johnny and Major League Baseball, as indicated by the #MAJORLEAGUETALK series branding visible across the posts shared by @NCTsmtown. Johnny, a Chicago native and longtime baseball fan, has been a natural fit as MLB's bridge to K-pop audiences. The Dodger Stadium question is a savvy one — BTS famously performed their Permission to Dance on Stage concerts at Dodger Stadium in November 2021, a landmark moment for K-pop in the US. Whether that's the answer MLB and Johnny are looking for, fans will have to click through to find out. The crossover continues to show how major American sports leagues are leaning into K-pop's massive global fanbase to reach younger audiences.
