The "Flower of the Winter Coat" KBL All-Star Game has been reborn as a true "festival venue" beyond simple events. Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium, which gathered as many as 8,649 fans, was filled with shouts and laughter throughout the game, and the main characters on the court responded with "fan service" beyond the match. In particular, Yoo Do-hoon (59), head coach of the Red Boosters in Anyang, wowed fans by doing the "Antal Challenge."
The "2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball All-Star Game" held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 18th proved its popularity by selling out all seats at the beginning of the reservation. The tightly packed 8,649 seats on the day showed the basketball fever that has been rekindled recently. In particular, the All-Star Game added meaning to the symbolism of being the last festival before the demolition of Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.
Even before the game, the area around Jamsil Indoor Stadium was crowded with fans. Fans who visited the stadium with their family, lovers and friends enjoyed the festive atmosphere while enjoying food truck events and photo zones prepared by the players.
The peak of the day's box office hit an unexpected place. Challenge Time, which was held during the event time between operation time and quota. When the cute "Antal Challenge" music, which is popular on social media recently, came out, the electronic display showed director Yoo Do-hoon, the head coach of "Team Connie."
It was coach Yoo Do-hoon, who was called a "warrior" for his charismatic appearance on the court. However, when the music began, director Yoo changed 180 degrees. Even the shy smile briefly showed a perfect 'antal' pose according to the rhythm with both hands on their cheeks. The 8,649 spectators screamed and cheered in unison at manager Roh's unconventional fan service ahead of his 60th birthday, and even the players watching it on the bench fell to the court and burst into laughter.
Coach Yoo was not the only one who was serious about fan service. Moon Kyung-eun (55), head coach of Suwon KT Sonicboom, also turned into a referee and laughed at fans with his comment, "We will arrest Ahn Young-joon (Seoul SK Knights) because he was caught in illegal activities." In addition, brothers Heo Woong (33) and Heo Hoon (31, Busan KCC Egis), the best stars in the KBL, also participated in the All-Star Game and greeted their fans with their faces reflected.
This All-Star Game, which combines the box office report that all seats are sold out and the dedicated fan service of coaches and players. KBL is expected to continue its success in the second half of the season by inheriting the energy of this festival.
