Guard Lee Sun-Albano (30), a member of Wonju DB Promy, became the winner of the three-point shooting contest.

Albano ranked first with 19 points in the final round of the Pocari Sweat 3-point shoot contest held after the first quarter of the 2025-2026 LG Electronics' professional basketball All-Star Game at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 18th. He beat Derek Williams (35) of the second-place Suwon KT Sonic Boom with 16 points by three points.

Albano, who scored 20 points in the preliminary round held the previous day (17th), tied for first place with Alvin Tolentino, scored the most points in the final.

In the coach's special event match prior to the final, Ulsan Hyundai Mobis coach Yang Dong-geun and Suwon KT coach Moon Kyung-eun made four successful goals side by side, beating Tim Brown. Team Connie, consisting of Yang Dong-geun, Moon Kyung-eun, Yoo Do-hoon, Lee Sang-min and Kim Hyo-beom, defeated Team Brown, consisting of Kang Hyuk, Jeon Hee-chul, Son Chang-hwan, Cho Sang-hyun and Kim Joo-sung, by one point.

In particular, Albano, who played as the league's top guard during the season and was in charge of the outside of the team, drew enthusiastic cheers from fans who filled Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium with his unique sophisticated and fast release in the three-point shoot match, the highlight of the All-Star Game. Unfortunately, Lee Jung-hyun of the Goyang Sono Sky Gunners, the only Korean player to compete in the final, recorded the lowest score among the final participants with 14 points. Seoul SK Knights' Alvin Tolentino scored 15 points.

Meanwhile, immediately after winning the championship, Albano enjoyed the joy of receiving 2 million won in prize money and a trophy.
