The roster of the "Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League All-Star Game" to be held at Chuncheon Hoban Gymnasium on the 25th has been partially replaced in the aftermath of the injury.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) announced in a press release on the 8th that it has selected Cha Ji-hwan (OK Savings Bank) and Park Hye-min (Director Chung) as substitutes for Jung Ji-seok (Korean Air) and Ko Ye-rim (Pepper Savings Bank), who cannot play in the All-Star Game due to injury. The two players were selected in consideration of team balance and position through a meeting of the professional committee held on the 6th.

According to the league, Jung Ji-seok of the V-Star team dropped out due to an ankle injury. The vacancy is filled by Cha Ji-hwan. Ko Ye-rim, who was a member of the K-Star team, suffered a finger injury and failed to participate, and Park Hye-min will join the All-Star Game instead. Cha Ji-hwan, who debuted in the 2017-2018 season, and Park Hye-min, who entered the professional league in the 2018-2019 season, will enjoy the joy of playing in the All-Star Game for the first time in their lives with this substitute selection.

There are also changes in the head coach. Acting KB Insurance Director Ha Hyun-yong will take the helm on behalf of KB Insurance Manager Leonardo Carvalho, who was scheduled to lead the V-Star team with Korea Expressway Corporation head coach Kim Jong-min.

The players in the All-Star Game were composed of a total of 40 players, including 28 selected by combining 70% fan voting, 15% team voting, and 15% media voting, and 12 recommended by the professional committee.
