The All-Star Game was special for Kim Young-woo, a high school graduate of the LG Twins. It was special and an honor to go to the All-Star Game in his first year of debut, and he even got confidence in himself from the best pitcher.
Kim Young-woo, who joined LG in the 10th place in the first round in 2025, is a fast-paced prospect and has survived in the first division from last year's closing camp to Arizona camp and exhibition games to the regular league. As a result, he pitched in 38 games, the second-most in the team in the first half, with a good performance of 1 win, 2 losses, 1 save, 1 hold, and an ERA of 2.62, and even got the opportunity to go to the All-Star Game with the recommendation of the coach. He took the mound as the fifth pitcher in the top of the fifth inning and allowed two hits and no runs.
Spraying up to 157 kilometers of fastballs, he clearly imprinted a pitcher named Kim Young-woo in the All-Star Game, which is watched by all 10 team fans. Before throwing the ball, he dressed up as a wolf and even danced to 'Growl'. "On the recommendation of the marketing team, I decided to dance to "Growl" and practiced by myself while watching YouTube."I don't think I'm good at dancing"Laughing." "I think I lost some stamina at the end of the first half, but I didn't play in a few games at the end. Perhaps because of the lunch break, the ball speed came out well in the All-Star game. In fact, it's my first All-Star game, so I don't know how to throw it, but when I asked around, everyone said they were throwing it with all their might, and Ponce threw it with all their might in the first inning, so I threw it with all my might as well."

Kim Young-woo thought the All-Star Game was special.
`LG also has great seniors, but all the other team players gather in the All-Star Game, so playing with them is an honor and motivating just to be able to play with them." One of the bucket lists was to become a professional player and go to the All-Star Game. I never thought I would go out in the first year, but I was so honored to achieve it in the first year even with the recommendation of the coach."
I asked Cody Ponce of Hanwha Eagles, who I met in the same Nanum All-Star locker room, about what he was curious about, and he was surprised because it was what he thought. Kim Young-woo said, `I asked Ponce about the mechanism, throwing, exercising, etc., and I was grateful for his kind information"I asked what I was thinking, but I thought the right leg was important when throwing, and I thought the same way as I did during the season, such as reducing the amount of weight training and increasing speed exercises, so I was able to do it with more confidence."
Will Kim Young-woo, who has been trained by Ponce's team, be able to pitch better in the second half.
