The final lineup of players participating in the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO All-Star Game' to be held over two days on July 10 and 11 at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium, along with the award details, has been officially confirmed.

According to the KBO (Korea Baseball Organization), this year's All-Star Game will see the Mr. All-Star (MVP) prize money increased by 10 million won from last year to a total of 20 million won, and new special awards such as the Home Run Derby Special Award have been introduced, promising a rich array of prizes that are expected to make the battle of stars even more intense.

On the first day of the festival, July 10, starting at 4 p.m., Futures All-Star players will meet fans directly in the Fan Fest Zone located within the second parking lot of Jamsil Sports Complex. Hanwha's Kang Geon-woo, Doosan's Kim Ju-o, NC's Shin Jae-in, and KT's Park Ji-hoon will be divided into Northern and Southern teams to conduct 15-minute one-point lessons on pitching and batting in the Batting Zone and Pitching Zone respectively.

The winning team of the 'KBO Futures All-Star Game' held at 6 p.m. will receive prize money of 10 million won, while the MVP will be awarded 2 million won and a trophy.

Following the conclusion of the Futures All-Star Game, the 'Com2uS Pro Baseball Home Run Derby' will be held as an individual competition.

This year's Home Run Derby has been restructured to increase excitement by changing the sequence: after exhausting the predetermined out counts (5 outs in preliminaries, 7 outs in finals), players take a maximum 30-second break and continue hitting during the one-minute 'Comfy Fever Time' period.

The winner will receive a trophy, prize money of 10 million won, and a Samsung Bespoke AI AirDresser. The runner-up will be awarded a trophy and 3 million won in prize money. The player with the longest home run distance will receive an LG Puricare AI 360º Plus air purifier.
