Earlier, the Korean Professional Football Federation announced the list of team K-League 'Fan Eleven'. Based on the best 11 for each team submitted by 12 K League 1 clubs, the Professional Federation Technical Committee (TSG) selected four times candidates for each position. Then, from the 4th to the 13th, three strikers, three midfielders, four defenders, and one goalkeeper were finally selected through fan voting for the official K-League application 'Kick'.
The most voted person is Oberdan, the iron man of Pohang. Oberdan received a total of 22,728 votes, ranking first among 44 candidates. Lee Tae-seok (Pohang), Jeon Jin-woo (Jeonbuk), Kim Moon-hwan (Daejeon), and Kim Jin-kyu (Jeonbuk). In the striker category, Lee Dong-kyung (19,220 votes) and Asani (17,980 votes) were selected along with Jeon Jin-woo (22,397 votes), who is leading the K League 1 scoring with 12 goals. In the midfielder category, Kim Jin-gyu (28,332 votes in Jeonbuk) and Boyanich (17,380 votes in Ulsan) were listed along with Auverdan, who got the most votes.

Sejingya (Daegu) and Mota (Anyang) were listed as strikers. Cesinha, who has been a star player in Daegu for 10 seasons, showed off his robustness by scoring consecutive goals immediately after his recent return from injury, and Mota has been on a roll with more than 10 offensive points in K League 1 this season following last season's K League 2 top scorer.
Kim Dong-hyun (Gangwon), Luan (Suwon FC), Lee Chang-min (Jeju), and Hwang Do-yoon (Seoul) were selected as midfielders. Kim Dong-hyun and Luan were nominated for the previous 'Fan Eleven' but unfortunately were eliminated from the fan vote, and Kim Pan-gon's choice finally joined the team K-League. Jeju captain Lee Chang-min and young blood Seoul's Hwang Do-yoon, who is drawing attention as a candidate for the K League 1 Young Player Award this season, were also selected.
The defenders were Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan), Byun Jun-su (Gwangju), and Anton (Daejeon). Ulsan captain Kim Young-kwon is a former national team center back and will show his seasoned skills, while Byun Jun-su, who recently made his A-match debut, will show his outstanding skills. Anton is also expected to show his presence through solid defense.
Kim Kyung-min (Gwangju) was chosen as the goalkeeper. Kim Kyung-min drew attention as his first national team selection last year, and he is also playing as the main goalkeeper in Gwangju this season.
Team K-League players will meet with fans through various events such as fan signings and fan meet-ups at the 'K-League-Zootopia Pop-up Store' held at Hyundai Department Store in Seoul from the 28th to the 29th, two days before the game. After that, the showdown between Team K League and Newcastle will be held at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 30th (Wednesday).
