Lee Chanwon, another good story..Support for children who are skipping meals with 10 million won at their own expense (Polundier)



'Bolundier' succeeded in winning the nationwide futsal, ending the six-month long journey with overwhelming emotion and joy. Including Lee Chan-won's individual donation of 10 million won, the total donation of 'Bolundier' reached 65 million won.

The much-awaited final story of the Futsal national championship took place on KBS2 'Bolundier', which aired on the 24th. Retired football legend 'Polundier', who was 41.4 years old on average, who didn't even know the futsal rule properly, made a new history by dominating the country in just six months. In particular, 'Bolundier' burned his passion beyond his limits and painted the master bedroom with emotion. Lee Chan-won, who cried and laughed with them, united his heart by donating 10 million won of his own money. 'Bolundier' donated 18 million won to children who are concerned about skipping meals, adding 8 million won in prize money from the victory of this game and 10 million won from Lee Chan-won. As a result, the cumulative donation of 'Bolundier' has reached a total of 65 million won.

LIFE FC, a youth leadership corps with four professional players, pressed 'Polundier' with the strongest physicality as a weapon. However, after Kim Young-kwang scored the first goal of the 'Forever Gatekeeper', he led the team to a come-from-behind victory with a great save in the penalty shootout. Lee Chan-won commented "The game that started with Kim Young-gwang and ended with Kim Young-gwang." The match against Konkuk University's soccer team was played against Lee Young-pyo in 1996 and Hyun Young-min in 98 and his seniors and juniors in 24 directly. Contrary to expectations that they would not be familiar with futsal, Konkuk University's soccer team overwhelmed 'Polundier' by perfectly digesting it in their own style. Lee Young-pyo and Hyun Young-min are competing, but they added warmth by pouring out praise on their juniors' excellent skills.




With two wins and two losses on the brink, 'Polundier' risked everything from the success or failure of the national championship, rebenzie, and donations to play in the final game. The opponent was Gimpo Zest, who humiliated 'Bolundier' last year. A breathtaking battle ensued between the two teams that met again like fate, and physical limitations that were difficult to endure even with mental strength came at the end of the game. At that moment, Lee Young-pyo was confident of victory, saying, "We have a way to win in a moment of crisis 'Winning Mentality'. Moments later, Cho Won-hee, who received Baek Ji-hoon's pass, scored a fantastic winning goal, becoming a frenzy of excitement and emotion. Cho Won-hee, who participated in the game with a cracked ankle bone and was injured, expressed her feelings of tears, saying, `It was a game that I squeezed until the end because I was worried that the team would lose because of me.'

Finally, Lee Young-pyo retired after a while, but his mind and attitude did not change at all when he kicked the ball in his soccer boots," he said, expressing his feelings about winning the national championship. Jung said "I was a really selfish player. Even if I won the game, I wasn't happy if I didn't score a goal. But when I think of the laughter of the people who receive the donation while doing 'Bolundier', I feel encouraged, and when I was having a hard time, I was able to take a step forward," he said, expressing his true feelings.

Their challenge will continue in the future, having proved that physical strength cannot beat time, but passion can beat time as a result of their six-month long journey.
