The All-Star Game lineup, held in Daejeon for the first time in 13 years, has been revealed.
The Dream All-Star and the Sharing All-Star announced the starting lineup for the All-Star Game, which will be held on the 12th at Hanwha Life Park in Daejeon.

The starting pitcher is Park Se-woong.
Among the 12 players selected for the best 12, Won Tae-in (Samsung), Yoon Dong-hee, and Go Seung-min (both from Lotte) will not participate in the All-Star Game. Instead of Won Tae-in, who was selected as the best 12 in the starting pitcher category, Park Se-woong, who was the next highest, will take his place in the All-Star starter. Furthermore, An Hyun-min, who had a breakout first half, will start.
