Team Ponyble won the first women's professional basketball All-Star Game in Busan in six years.

Team Ponyble beat Team Unibble 100-89 in the BNK Financial Group 2025-2026 Women's Professional Basketball All-Star Game held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 4th.

The MVP was won by Byun So-jung. He led the attack with 25 points. Byun So-jung became the best player in her first All-Star Game.

In Ponyble, Kang Yi-seul also hit a three-run, three-run shot. Jinan also scored 14 points. In Uniform, Jihyun Shin scored 19 points with its last-minute performance, and Sonia also scored 16 points.

It is the first time that the women's basketball All-Star Game will be held in Busan since the 2019-20 season, and the first time ever held at Sajik Gymnasium. With the top 20 players in the All-Star voting selected and participating, this year it was divided into Team Ponyble (Director Park Jung-eun, Coach Kim Wan-soo Choi Yoon-ah) and Team Unile (Director Lee Sang-beom, Coach Wi Sung-woo and Ha Sang-yoon).

For Team Uniform, Iijima Saki (Hana Bank, No. 1 in fan voting), Lee Hae-ran (Samsung Life Insurance, No. 4), Kim Sonia (No. 5), Lee So-hee (BNK, No. 8), and Jihyun Shin (Shinhan Bank, No. 9) came out as the starting players. Kim Dan-bi (Woori Bank, No. 2), Kang Yi-seul (KB Stars, No. 3), Shin Yi-seul (Shinhan Bank, No. 6), Park So-hee (Hana Bank, No. 7), and Heo Ye-eun (KB Stars, No. 10) were the best 5.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Kim Sonia and Lee So-hee continued their activities in front of home fans, and Psaki, the No. 1 All-Star, also scored three points. In response, Team Ponyble also had a close game as Kang Yi-seul and Shin Yi-seul's three-point shots went in. Unibull scored Kim Jong-un's last All-Star Game, following Jinyoung Kim and Kang Yoo-rim's outposts, but the gap narrowed due to Byun So-jung's performance.

Ponyble raised the mood by showing Jinan's bold ceremony and scoring his points and teammates' chances in the attack. With Kang Yoo-rim's three points, the first quarter ended with Unibull's 37-35 lead.

In the second quarter, Ponyble's counterattack began as Park So-hee scored in a series of matches with her teacher Lee Sang-beom. In addition, Shin Eul and Byun So-jung's three-point shots began to widen the gap. Park Jung-eun, who appeared on the court, then started to give three points to the coach, and the score went up. In the second quarter, Kang Yu-rim made a last-minute outer shot, but the first half ended with Ponyble leading 62-57.

In the third quarter, the coaches of both teams began to be deployed in earnest. Coach Kim Wan-soo, who appeared on the court pointing out Kang's defense, disgraced himself by scoring two turnovers. Head coach Ha Sang-yoon was pushed by Shin Yi-seul's backside, who had eaten together in the past, and head coach Wi Sung-woo drew laughter by being pointed out one after another by Kim Dan-bi, who turned into a referee. Coach Choi Yoon-ah recreated the kick when he was a player with Jinan.

Unible once tied the game and went on a heavy chase in the fourth quarter. However, Ponyble's potential was also strong, and in the end, he managed to finish well to keep the victory.
