In the final match that ignited the fighting spirit of the veteran ‘Volunteer’ with an average age of 41.4 years, everyone, including Lee Chan-won, is brought to tears.
In the KBS2 broadcast of ‘Volunteer’ airing on the 24th, the ‘Bluetooth chemistry’ between Lee Chan-won, born in 1996, and Lee Young-pyo, who entered college in 1996, captures attention. Lee Young-pyo showcases his signature ‘fake leg’ dribble in a revenge match against his nemesis, Gimpo Zest, whom he met on a narrow bridge.
Just as everyone was about to cheer, Lee Young-pyo loses strength in his legs and unexpectedly falls forward, experiencing a humiliating ‘big bow’. Watching this from the commentary booth, Lee Chan-won expresses his regret over the passage of time, saying, “Lee Young-pyo from the class of '96... I was born in '96.” In the face of a breathtaking battle, Lee Chan-won stands up and clenches his fists, sending heartfelt support.
This broadcast marks the conclusion of the ‘Volunteer’ futsal national championship journey.

Meanwhile, with just 6 minutes left in the second half of the final, Lee Young-pyo whispers to the production team, “I will win no matter what, so don’t worry and just wait a little longer.” In a critical moment where no one can guarantee victory or defeat, Lee Young-pyo confidently declares, “We have something the opponent doesn’t.” The reason for his confidence and the outcome of the match can be confirmed in the broadcast.
