Gyeongil University held a talk concert at its central library auditorium featuring Samsung Lions pitcher Park Seung-gyu, focusing on career paths in sports and life as a professional athlete, the university announced Thursday.

Organized by the Department of Sports Coaching, the event drew students from the department and the university's baseball team, who heard firsthand experiences and advice from a professional player.

Park, who joined the Samsung Lions in 2019, drew on his experience contributing to the team's Korean Series championship during the 2026 postseason to discuss consistent training, self-management and how to maintain confidence during games.

"No one can know in advance what their potential is — the harder you work, the greater your possibilities become," Park said. "Channeling nerves into focus during a game and putting in consistent daily effort are what lead to good results."
