[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Shinhan Bank announced on the 24th that it will release interview videos of 24 players selected as the 2020 'Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League All-Star' through 'SOL Baseball'.
These interview videos were produced for fans who cannot watch the All-Star players' performances directly at the baseball stadium, and include the 24 All-Star players' thoughts on being selected, their future determination, and messages of gratitude to the fans.
Shinhan Bank, the title sponsor of the KBO League, conducted a fan vote with the KBO in August to select 24 All-Star players. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the All-Star game was canceled, and instead, the league is holding the first-ever 'Untact All-Star Race' until the 27th of this month.
The All-Star awards ceremony was held untact with only a small number of people attending at the home stadiums of the selected players due to COVID-19. Shinhan Bank awarded 1 million KRW and a trophy each to the highest vote-getters from each team, Machado of the Lotte Giants (Dream Team) and Lee Jung-hoo of the Kiwoom Heroes (Nanum Team), and 500,000 KRW and a trophy each to the other 22 players selected by fan votes.
A Shinhan Bank official said, "We released interview videos of each player on SOL Baseball for fans who cannot watch the All-Star players' games at the stadium due to COVID-19," and added, "We ask for your continued interest in various fun and rewarding events held on SOL Baseball."
