KIA Tigers outfielder Na Sung-beom (37) held a ceremony to commemorate his 1,500th career game appearance amidst enthusiastic applause from home fans.

On the 7th, the KIA Tigers organization held an official ceremony at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field to celebrate outfielder Na Sung-beom's achievement of 1,500 career game appearances ahead of the season opener against the Samsung Lions in the 2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League.

During the ceremony, the KIA Tigers organization presented Na Sung-beom, who has dedicated himself to the team, with a commemorative plaque and a bouquet of flowers expressing encouragement and gratitude. KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) also had Oh Seok-hwan, a game operations committee member, personally visit the mound on behalf of Chairman Heo Koo-yeon to present a commemorative plaque and bouquet, jointly celebrating the historic milestone.

Na Sung-beom previously became the 75th player in KBO League history to reach 1,500 career game appearances on May 9, when he started as the designated hitter and right fielder in a road game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium.

Since making his professional debut in 2012, Na Sung-beom has consistently performed as a representative outfielder in the league, setting this milestone through rigorous self-management and consistency. As this record was achieved despite overcoming various injuries, the cheers and applause from home fans were even more enthusiastic.
