[Y review] Park Jisung just helps..."Shooting Star", the emotion of the middle boy who didn't know how to celebrate.

Did you say that the important thing is the unbreakable mind? Coupang Play's original entertainment program "Shooting Star" impressed soccer players with undaunted enthusiasm.

"Shooting Star," which was first released on the 22nd, focuses on the legendary players who represented the K-League gathering as a team again to challenge for K-League active duty. Soccer fans expressed fun and emotion by combining welcome faces and fresh formats.

FC Shooting Star, which started with the proposal of general manager Park Ji-sung, began its full-fledged project with the acceptance of coach Choi Yong-soo and the addition of coach Seol Ki-hyun. From the beginning, the pleasant chemistry between Park Ji-sung and Choi Yong-soo drew laughter, and Tiki-taka stood out among the players, adding to the entertainment fun. In particular, the formation of a team of players from FC Seoul and Suwon Samsung, the representative rival teams of the K-League, was nostalgic and exciting to fans.The first opponent of

'FC Shooting Star' is Yangju Civic Football Team, which has been converted to an independent club. Those who have been struggling with financial difficulties have been preparing for the game with one passion for soccer. Coach Oh Hwi-sung's inability to hold back tears after saying, "It's the first official game in 2024" in the locker room was touching. One word, "Was it this hard to do this?" clearly showed how desperately they waited for the opportunity. And this scene naturally linked the planning intention of the program 'Shooting Star'.

The story of players who did not let go of soccer while exercising during the day and working part-time in the evening also drew attention. The calm but sincere confession that "I quit soccer once, but I kept missing and remembered soccer," "I only had soccer since I was young," and "The longest thing I've done in my life is soccer, and it's as precious as my family." also resonated with viewers who don't know soccer well.

FC Shooting Star won its first victory 2-1 thanks to Lee Jong-ho's fantastic volley and the performance of its second-half replacements. Despite their physical weaknesses, the retired players' strong desire to win and their organizational strength still stood out. Above all, it was a time to feel the pure passion of soccer again.

Coach Choi Yong-soo said, "I was happy watching the game. I'm proud of the players," coach Seol Ki-hyun said, expressing deep affection, and thanked the players. The passion of soccer, which the players also forgot, was revived, revealing overwhelming joy. The first game reminded the past of the spectacular careers of soccer stars, but the sweat and enthusiasm of the new challenge heated the hearts of the viewers.

The vivid game screen, which has never been before, is also the strength of "Shooting Star." The production team used drone cameras and put body cameras on the players to melt a vivid sense of reality. Kim Young-kwang also said, "I was surprised to be able to express my mind, there are many endless scenes in the sport of soccer, and 'Shooting Star' felt like 4D that can be felt in 360 degrees." At the production presentation for

'Shooting Star', producer Cho Hyo-jin said, "I will make a program that plays real soccer. Unlike before, I thought that it would be meaningful if I could show my passion and sincerity for soccer and help Hangu soccer even a little. I would be surprised to see how passionate retired players are. I wanted to shed some light on that. I wanted to shed light on how the soccer team was created, how it played games, and what it thought based on winning or losing. I made it with all my heart."

As such, "Shooting Star" is noteworthy in that it takes the form of entertainment and sheds light on the value of K-League revival and soccer. In addition to the re-challenge of legendary players, he dealt with the difficulties of the lower league team, but also delivered a message of hope through the efforts of the players. The fresh concept and moving story development raised expectations for future broadcasts.
