Daegu Samsung Lions Park will welcome a "Legend of Blue Blood." Lee Seung-yeop (50), the "Eternal No. 36" who transcended the Samsung Lions to become a symbol of the KBO League, will take the mound for Game 3 of the Korea Series.

The KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) officially announced the ceremonial pitcher and national anthem singer for Game 3 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Korea Series, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on the 6th at Daegu Samsung Lions Park. As the heat of fall baseball reaches its peak, "National Hitter" Lee Seung-yeop has been selected as the figure who will make home fans' hearts race.

Lee Seung-yeop is an unparalleled legend who cannot be omitted when discussing the history of Korean baseball beyond Samsung. He holds the record for the most home runs in a single KBO League season (56) and, while wearing the Samsung uniform, swept up five regular-season MVP awards and 10 Golden Glove Awards.

He led the Republic of Korea national baseball team to a gold medal myth with an undefeated record, thanks to his comeback home run in the semifinal and his lead-off two-run homer in the final at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. As he once again stands on the mound for his former team's fall stage, he is expected to deliver unforgettable thrills and emotions to the baseball fans who will fill Lions Park.

Meanwhile, prior to the game, Kim So-hyun, a representative musical actress of the Republic of Korea, will sing the national anthem, which will grandly color the autumn night.

Kim So-hyun, a top-tier diva who debuted in the 2001 musical "The Phantom of the Opera" and has led major works such as "Elisabeth," "Marie Antoinette," and "Empress Myeongseong," is set to add emotion to the stadium with her unique deep resonance and vocal power. Kim So-hyun, who marks her 25th anniversary of debut this year, continues preparations to appear on stage as Mrs. Lovett in the 10th-anniversary commemorative performance of the musical "Sweeney Todd," which opens on December 4.
