Kwak Bin (27), the 'native ace' and 'fireballer' of the Doosan Bears, opened up about his honest feelings regarding the unprecedented radical disguise he showcased for the All-Star fan voting.

Ahead of the 2026 KBO All-Star Game to be held at Seoul Jamsil Stadium on the 11th, Kwak Bin met with reporters after finishing a fan signing event and shared the behind-the-scenes story of his performance that had fans roaring with laughter.

In this year's All-Star Game, Kwak Bin transformed into a singer, recreating a solo album concept with a short bob wig and a poster titled 'BEEN LOVE Kwak Bin Solo Album No. 47' featuring a wistful gaze, which ignited intense buzz across baseball communities and social media platforms.

Regarding this, Kwak Bin smiled cheerfully, saying, "I thought it was okay to ruin my one life like this." He added, "I am truly grateful to the fans who made it possible for me to start as a Dream All-Star pitcher in the All-Star Game held at Jamsil through fan voting. Since this is the last Jamsil All-Star Game, I prepared with the team to an extent that might have seemed excessive, but fortunately, the response was positive and effective, which makes me proud." Indeed, Kwak Bin's 'wistful explosion' short bob look became a top topic not only among baseball fans but also among his fellow players, and he emerged as the top vote-getter for the Dream All-Star starting pitcher.

This season, Kwak Bin appeared in 17 games with an impressive record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and a 2.60 ERA, firmly supporting Doosan's starting mound during the first half. He expressed satisfaction, saying, "The first half flew by incredibly quickly. I think it was because baseball went well for me and I felt the joy of the team winning." On his physical condition ahead of the All-Star Game, he added, "Actually, I am not 100% recovered yet, so at the All-Star stage, I plan to pitch lightly with a focus on performance aimed at bringing joy to the fans rather than the game itself."
