Na Seong-beom's power-hitting instincts roused the pride of the Lions.

KIA Tigers captain Na Seong-beom, who secured a ticket to Daegu with two home runs, is set to face off against Choi Hyeong-woo, his teammate in the Korea Series championship victory two years ago.

In Game 3 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Postseason Wild Card Series held at Seoul Jamsil Stadium on the 20th, Na hit two home runs, including a lead-off solo shot in the top of the second inning to open the scoring, leading his team to a decisive 13-1 victory.

Although somewhat overshadowed by Kim Do-young's dramatic bases-loaded homer, Na's resurgence sent chills down the spines of the Lions.

After the game, Na smiled and said, "In a short series, the first run is more important than anything else. My lead-off home run lifted the team's morale significantly, and Do-young followed up with a bases-loaded homer in the subsequent opportunity, allowing us to completely seize control of the game early on."

Na will now face Samsung's Choi Hyeong-woo as an opponent, despite having been a key figure in KIA's 2024 Korea Series championship.

On this matter, Na laughed and said, "He is now our enemy. We must win no matter what." He then revealed his competitive drive, adding, "He is truly a great senior player, but the world of competition is cold. Choi Hyeong-woo will surely hit hard, but when we meet in crucial situations, I believe our pitchers will shut him down effectively."
