Professional baseball pitchers Kim Jin-wook and Lee Min-seok will participate in a fan signing event at the '2026 PAPBUSAN' exhibition in Busan on the 29th.
Awesome Star announced on the 27th that Kim and Lee will meet fans from 11 AM to approximately noon at booth E17 in Hall 2 of BEXCO.
The signing event will operate on a first-come, first-served basis without ticket distribution. The organizers have prepared 500 signed prints for each player, totaling 1,000. The actual number of fans who can receive autographs may vary depending on the situation at the venue and the event's progress.
The event time was set from 11 AM to noon, considering the players' training schedules. To reduce congestion and ensure a smooth signing process, fans will be encouraged to have the provided prints signed rather than personal items like jerseys or baseballs.
Kim Jin-wook and Lee Min-seok, who have excelled on the mound, will meet fans in a fashion exhibition setting rather than a baseball stadium, providing an opportunity for supporters to interact closely with the players.
Founded in 2018 in Busan, Awesome Star is a functional sportswear company led by CEO Hong Jae-yoon, developing clothing tailored to the movements of baseball players based on their positions and game environments. The company adjusts clothing patterns according to the physical movements of pitchers and fielders, incorporating feedback from actual players into product design.
Changes are also underway in the production and ordering processes for sportswear. Awesome Star signed a business agreement with Busan-based AI transformation company Metavision in September to establish a system linking ordering, inventory, logistics, and settlement.
They are also preparing to develop a '3D Custom Builder' that allows customers or sports teams to select uniform designs, colors, and detailed options online and view the completed products in three dimensions.
Awesome Star has completed discussions with the exhibition organizers regarding the fan signing event and will showcase functional sportswear products and brand activities to attendees during the event.
Meanwhile, the '2026 PAPBUSAN' exhibition will take place from the 29th to the 31st at BEXCO, featuring companies and brands from the footwear, textile, and fashion sectors showcasing related products and technologies.
