The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) has stepped up for the first All-Star Game in an area where there is no affiliated club since the launch of professional volleyball.

KOVO said on the 14th, "In the afternoon of this day, the Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League All-Star Game was delivered to provide professional sports culture experiences to low-income children and teenagers in Chuncheon."

The meeting was attended by Chuncheon City Chairman Yuk Dong-han, Chuncheon City Sports Council Chairman Lee Kang-kyun, and Korean Volleyball Federation President Shin Moo-chul. The Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League All-Star Game, which will be held at Chuncheon Hoban Gymnasium on the 25th of this month, will be held in an area where there is no affiliated club for the first time since the launch of professional volleyball. It is also the first time in Gangwon-do, which has not had a professional volleyball team.

This is to expand the base of volleyball. Unlike professional basketball, which had a related team, and professional baseball, which was accessible through local prestigious high schools and second pitches, professional volleyball was a far-off existence for Gangwon residents. KOVO, which has been holding KOVO Cups around the country in recent years to expand its base, boldly set out to secure volleyball fans in Gangwon Province through Chuncheon City.

Chuncheon Mayor Yuk Dong-han said, "I am deeply grateful to the federation for providing an opportunity to experience volleyball, one of the best professional sports, in Chuncheon. We will prepare hard together so that volleyball fans who visited Chuncheon can have a good time and go with the All-Star Game."

Secretary-General Shin Moo-chul said, "I am happy to host the All-Star Game in the non-professional volleyball region. I hope it will serve as an opportunity to take a step closer to volleyball by expanding the base of volleyball while providing opportunities for children in non-union areas." The tickets will be distributed to families of low-income children and adolescents in the jurisdiction through the Gangwon Community Chest of Korea.

Twenty-eight players and 40 professional committee-recommended players were named in the All-Star Game on the 22nd of last month, including 70% fan votes, 15% team votes (directors, senior coaches, captains), and 15% media votes (journalists and broadcasters).

Shin Young-seok (KEPCO), one of the V-League legends, took the top spot in the men's and women's combined fan voting. Shin Young-seok has proved his popularity with 29,900 votes in fan voting and high scores in both the squad and media. As a result, Shin Young-seok recorded his 14th appearance in the All-Star Game, and was listed side by side as the most participants in the men's team along with Han (Korean Air).

Kim Da-in (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) is the No. 1 fan vote for the women's team. Kim Da-in won 21,056 votes to win the fan vote, and was evenly supported in the squad and media votes. Yang Hyo-jin (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) confirmed his 17th appearance in the All-Star Game, increasing the record for the most appearances in both men and women's games.

On top of that, Cha Ji-hwan (OK Savings Bank) and Park Hye-min (Director Chung) replace Jung Ji-seok (Korean Air) and Ko Ye-rim (Pepper Savings Bank), who cannot play in the All-Star Game due to injuries, respectively. In addition, the K-Star team will be led by Korean Air coach Zoto Henan Dal, Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung, and the V-Star team will be led by KB Insurance acting coach Ha Hyun-yong along with Korea Expressway Corporation coach Kim Jong-min.

To participate in the feast of the stars, you must purchase tickets to be sold on the KOVO integrated website from 2 p.m. on the 15th. Seats are divided into central and sub-designated seats on the first floor, table seats on the second floor and general designated seats on the third floor.
