The disappointment from the home run derby was vividly resolved in the All-Star game. KT Wiz's Ahn Hyun-min launched a home run in the All-Star game.
Ahn Hyun-min hit a home run in the 2025 KBO All-Star game held at Hanwha Life Park in Daejeon on the 12th. With the team trailing 5-7 in the top of the eighth inning and two outs with no runners on base, Ahn Hyun-min faced Park Sang-won's 150 km fastball on a 2 balls, 2 strikes count and hit a solo home run over the left-center fence. The distance was 125 meters.
The powerful Ahn Hyun-min recorded a batting average of .356 (77 hits in 216 at-bats), 16 home runs, 53 RBIs, 42 runs, 5 stolen bases, and an OPS of 1.113 over the first half of the season, savoring the moment of his first All-Star game appearance.
Ahn Hyun-min was considered the strongest candidate for the championship in the home run derby the previous day (11th) but was only able to hit four home runs, resulting in a shocking outcome of elimination in the qualifying round. However, he washed away the disappointment in the main game.
