Actress Park Shin-hye joined the stands at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 20th to support the KIA Tigers during the 2026 KBO League postseason semi-playoff Game 3. Park witnessed Kim Do-yeong's grand slam in the top of the 2nd inning as the team secured a victory against the LG Twins.

Actress Park Shin-hye revealed her deep love for baseball while attending a postseason game for the KIA Tigers. Beyond the team's thrilling comeback, attention was drawn to Park's remarkable luck in witnessing Kim Do-yeong's grand slam in person. Having watched her supported team's explosive offense firsthand at the stadium, she expressed her overwhelming emotions, saying she felt "so proud of herself."

Park attended the 2026 KBO League postseason semi-playoff Game 3 between the LG Twins and the KIA Tigers, held on the afternoon of the 20th at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. Prior to the game, Park demonstrated her status as a baseball fan by sharing a KIA cheering towel with the caption, "Can't miss autumn baseball." Her presence went beyond a mere celebrity outing, showing a sincere commitment to not missing a crucial match for her supported team.

Notably, instead of choosing comfortable table seats, Park joined the crowd in the stands filled with spectators to enjoy the cheering atmosphere. She captured and shared videos of the cheering squad's shouts and the intense atmosphere of the packed stands. Her immersion in the unique tension and festive atmosphere of the postseason demonstrated her genuine passion for the sport.

The KIA Tigers displayed fierce offensive power from the early stages of the game, setting a strong momentum. While the team took control with 7 runs in the early stages, an unforgettable moment arrived for Park: Kim Do-yeong's grand slam in the top of the 2nd inning. The hit, delivered with the bases loaded, instantly heated up the stadium, and Park captured the thrilling moment on video.

Sharing the video of the grand slam, Park added the witty caption, "I'm so proud of myself for watching this in person. My in-person winning rate." Her words reflected her pride in seeing her supported team launch such a powerful offense on the day she visited the stadium. For fans, witnessing such a home run scene in person is a lifelong memory. Unlike watching a game from home, experiencing the moment when the cheers of tens of thousands erupt simultaneously at the stadium remains a special memory for any baseball fan.

Park, who enjoyed the game while covering her face with a postseason cap and a cheering towel, fully expressed her fandom while celebrating the moment of victory. Her image as an ordinary baseball fan immersed in her team's game, rather than her glamorous daily life as an actress, added a sense of relatability. Having the luck to see Kim Do-yeong's grand slam with her own eyes and record it on video made her visit to the stadium a special firsthand account.

Park married actor Choi Tae-joon in 2022 after a five-year relationship and welcomed her first son that same year. Last month, she became a mother of two following the birth of her second daughter. While managing childcare and her daily life, Park enjoyed the happiness of following her favorite sport, baseball. On this day, she fully enjoyed the autumn at Jamsil Baseball Stadium as a passionate fan supporting the KIA Tigers, rather than as an actress or a mother of two.
