Lee Chan-won, who is making his debut as a soccer commentator through 'Ballunteer', sweats due to an unexpected request from the original Taeguk Warrior, Seol Ki-hyun.
On the KBS special Lunar New Year entertainment program 'Ballunteer', which airs on the 27th at 6:25 PM, the first complete gathering of the existing team and newly joined members will take place. Present at this meeting will be coach Lee Young-pyo, 'eternal national team goalkeeper' Kim Young-kwang, 'strongest defender' Kim Dong-cheol, 'Advocaat's prince' Baek Ji-hoon, 'women's soccer legend' Jeon Ga-eul, 'last member of the 2002 World Cup' Hyun Young-min, and the beloved '2002 World Cup hero' Seol Ki-hyun, along with 'Korean Premier League player No. 6' Jo Won-hee.
In the meantime, a story from the 2006 World Cup in Germany is revealed, adding to the fun, where Seol Ki-hyun had a nerve-wracking exchange with the coach due to Ahn Jung-hwan. Jo Won-hee exposed, "We were training ahead of the match against France. We were giving 200% to get even a minute of playtime, but Ki-hyun was just walking around." In response, Seol Ki-hyun expressed his frustration, saying, "During the passing game, the coach kept criticizing me while not saying anything to Jung-hwan, who kept making mistakes." Hearing Seol Ki-hyun's defense, Lee Young-pyo concluded with a laugh, "Let's say Jung-hwan was wrong."
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Lee Chan-won, who has come to the players' waiting room to take on the commentary role. Lee Chan-won, the youngest recipient of the 'KBS Entertainment Awards', is showcasing his versatility by challenging himself to soccer commentary based on his unique wit and extensive knowledge, following his success in singing and entertainment. Upon Lee Chan-won's arrival, Seol Ki-hyun said, "I hope you can focus on commenting on the coach's tactics and player selections. It's easy to talk from a coach's perspective, but it's really hard to implement." He then targeted KBS commentator Lee Young-pyo. He continued, "If we lose, please make sure to say this one line." What could be the heartfelt request from the 'original Taeguk Warrior' Seol Ki-hyun to commentator Lee Chan-won? You can find out in the KBS special Lunar New Year program 'Ballunteer'.
The futsal challenge of South Korean soccer legends, meeting through Lee Chan-won's commentary at the 'Entertainment Awards', is a 'real deal' sports entertainment special for the Lunar New Year, where they kick the ball and donate as well. It will air on the 27th at 6:25 PM and on the 28th at 7:20 PM on KBS2.
