In ‘Mungchana4’, rookie director Lim Young-woong's ‘heroic spirit’ explodes on the field.
In the 27th episode of JTBC's sports entertainment show ‘Mungchana4’ (hereafter ‘Mungchana4’), which airs on the 12th, rookie director Lim Young-woong is expected to captivate viewers with his intense competitive spirit. Throughout the match, he is seen giving tactical instructions with fiery eyes, and eventually, a scene of him kneeling in frustration is captured, raising curiosity.
On this day, ahead of his directorial debut, senior director Kim Nam-il advises Lim Young-woong, “Even if you get angry, don’t throw things.” After hearing Kim Nam-il's heartfelt advice, who had thrown a stopwatch in anger during a match, Lim Young-woong vows, “I’m worried because I have a fiery personality too, but I will try to hold back as much as possible.”
However, once the game starts, Lim Young-woong cannot suppress his competitive spirit. From his charismatic gaze at the players to the moment he kneels in a crucial situation, his intense side that viewers have never seen before draws attention. Especially, despite Kim Nam-il's advice, Lim Young-woong is caught on camera unable to control his emotions and throwing a pen, hinting at his passionate fervor.
Additionally, true to his directorial debut, Lim Young-woong cannot part with his ‘affectionate notebook’ and is seen meticulously checking data as he approaches the game. In contrast, the seasoned director Lee Dong-gook is captured watching the game leisurely with his arms crossed, adding interest to the contrasting styles of the two directors.
Amidst this, director Lim Young-woong shows boldness by making his first-ever VAR (Video Assistant Referee) request. Attention is drawn to what results Lim Young-woong's bold move will bring in a crucial situation that could change the flow of the game.
