The KBL All-Star game will follow almost the same concept as the NBA’s, except instead of the top vote-getters choosing their teammates, it would be the two coaches selecting the players for their All-Star lineup.

Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus coach Cho Dong-Hyun will select players against Seoul SK Knights tactician Jeon Hee-Chul.

The All-Star Game commences on January 19 at Busan Sajik Gymnasium.
