The KBL has been voting for All-Star fans since April 27. Each club has five candidates. Fans can vote for 12 players. However, each team is limited to a maximum of two players once a day.

The voting period is 22 days. One person can cast a maximum of 22 ballots.

A vote by fans will determine 24 people to play in the All-Star Game.

The most popular player in the KBL is Heo Woong. He ranked first in recent All-Star fan voting and popularity award voting as soon as he started. Attention was focusing more on how wide he would be in the second place after winning the final number of votes.

It was different in this All-Star fan vote. At first, Lee Jung-hyun (Sono) topped the list, followed by Heo Hoon (KT). Heo Woong fell to seventh place. Soon, Heo Hoon overtook Lee Jung-hyun to rank No. 1.

Heo Woong, who was once more than 1,200 votes behind Heo Hoon, also showed his power and eventually rose to the top.

Although he is not the overwhelming No. 1, he is slowly widening the gap with Heo Hoon. Heo Hoon is solidifying his second place.

Lee Jung-hyun, who was the best guard this season, is in third place with more than 100,000 votes on the 12th.

In the meantime, many fans are participating in the All-Star fan vote. Moreover, the number of participants in the vote on the 1st is steady.

The number of daily voting participants has changed significantly over the past two seasons. From 7,000 to 10,000 in the 2021-2022 season, there was a deviation of about 3,000 people per day. From 6,000 to 9,000 in the 2022-2023 season, it was also jagged.

There are between 16,000 and 17,000 daily fan voting participants this year.

As of 4:43 p.m. on the 12th, a total of 264,381 people participated in the vote, exceeding the record of 264,376 people in the 2021-2022 season.

Heo Woong was likely to break his record of 163,850 votes in the 2021-2022 season as more fans were participating in the vote than ever. 스포츠토토

As things stand, Heo Woong is expected to exceed at least 165,000 votes.

A variable has emerged. “Up to seven minors under the age of 14 can be registered at the same time when they sign up for the KBL (home page), so they can vote eight times per person (a day),” one fan said in an e-mail. “I called KBL to check and got an answer that it was true and there was no way to prevent it.”

As a result of checking with the KBL, the KBL is also sending a text message asking for a family relationship certificate if one person is suspected of signing up and voting, saying that they have received a lot of contact from these fans. Voting for which family relations have not been proven will be invalidated after all voting is over. This is because it is possible to distinguish a single fan voting multiple times.

The variable of invalid votes could drastically change not only whether Heo Woong breaks the most votes ever, but also the currently open All-Star fan voting rankings.
