Update from July 28th:
On July 28th, Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Sunny were in attendance at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds baseball game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California to celebrate Korea Day. Before the festivities began, the girls posed for media photos, and Tiffany held a brief interview with the MC.
