JTBC's representative sports entertainment show that aired on the 13th 'Gathering Up'In the second inning of the 4" (director Sung Chi-kyung / writer Mo Mo-seol / 'hereinafter 'unchan', the verification test for the 'football sense" prepared by head coach Kim Nam-il and the 'shooting power" verification test prepared by head coach Ahn Jung-hwan were drawn. The appearance of players appealing their skills based on their sincerity toward soccer left a strong impression not only on coaches but also on viewers.
According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company, the broadcast topped the non-terrestrial channel at the same time, with pay-TV households recording 3.9% of viewership in the Seoul metropolitan area. It was also higher than the first broadcast (3.2%), which led to the expectation of an upward trend of 'Gathering 4' that will continue in the future.
First of all, following the first episode, the verification test of 'Physical' prepared by head coach Park Hang-seo continued. Among them, the match between Korea's hip one-top Khan and Cha Sun-woo, who drew with Ahn Jung-hwan and thigh wrestling, drew attention. Khan won after a tight match, but Ahn Jung-hwan chose Khan as his one pick, while Park Hang-seo chose Cha Sun-woo as his one pick. Kim Nam-il chose comedian Song Ha-bin, who played until college, while Lee Dong-gook picked Kang Hyun-seok, a lacrosse player who played in 'Gathering 3' as one pick.
Subsequently, coach Kim Nam-il's choice of 'Football Sense' test was conducted. The test, which traps a vertically falling ball from 15 meters above the air, which is the first attempt by South Korea's broadcasting, was even said by Kim Nam-il and other directors as "a challenge that even professionals find difficult." Hui, who was offered a scout for the soccer team in elementary school, and Bang Ye-dam, who showed excellent performance until the 2:1 post-pressure test, also failed and showed how difficult the test is.
At this time, head coach Kim Nam-il personally demonstrated. Standing on the lawn in a suit and shoes, he was outspoken in shouting "challenge" to prove the legend's dignity. The 56 players were also impressed by the ball settling on Kim Nam-il's foot.
The next player to challenge was ASTRO MJ who recommended Cha Eun-woo. He said he showed off his passionate trapping with his head and chest, and he succeeded in trapping his head and drew attention. Although chest trapping failed, he also succeeded in foot trapping, an actual test event, drawing criticism from Park Hang-seo that it was "better than Kim Nam-il".
When actor Kim Soo-gyeom, who is emerging as a rising star, appeared, Ahn Jung-hwan asked "It was my dream to become a soccer player, but something bad happened."
Kim Soo-kyum "When I was in elementary school, I was playing club soccer and I got into a car accident when I tried to move on to elite soccer. I was going to start playing soccer because I got better after being hospitalized for 3-4 months, but I got into a car accident once again. So I thought soccer was not my way, but I couldn't let go of my passion for soccer, so I played club soccer again in the 5th and 6th grades and continued my soccer activities even when I went up to middle school." When asked if he had any after-effects from the accident, he answered "Nothing at all".
In particular, he said, "I want to be trained by director Kim Nam-il." and sent a love call to Kim Nam-il, drawing laughter. Other directors began to covet him, who succeeded in trapping both feet neatly. Park Hang-seo said, "If you hit me too, will you come to me?Ahn Jung-hwan even picked him as a one-pick player after testing 's sense of football'.
Before the start of the test, Guevara, who was considered the best ace of the "Gathering 3" and the object of checks by other players, expressed confidence by saying, "I don't have a player in check." And to match that confidence, he placed the ball in the perfect gold spot with trapping, making everyone's mouth wide open. In response, Park Hang-seo chose Guevara as his one pick. Lee Dong-guk picked actor Jonghyun Lee, who boasts fast speed and extraordinary throw-in skills, and Kim Nam-il picked Alberto, who played in the Serie 4th division, as one pick.
The next test was Ahn Jung-hwan's 'Shooting Power' test. In this test, the performance of 'Football Dolls' was noticeable. CRAVITY SERIM, who was offered a scout at a prestigious school in soccer, made an impact with a perfect Caesar-skick, and Ha Sung-woon proved himself to be 'Idol Messi' with an accurate and fast two-footed shot. In addition, Hikari, a fantasy boy who appeared under the keyword 'J League Mbappe', proved his ability by succeeding in the goal-getting mission in two times.
After all the tests, Kim Nam-il chose actor Lee Ji-hoon, a former sports student, and Lee Dong-gook chose Lee Seok-chan, a former top scorer of 'Somehow New Avengers'. Park Hang-seo drew attention by selecting Ha Sung-woon and Ahn Jung-hwan as rapper Noh Yoon-ha.
It was a time when not only the coaches but also the viewers could not hide their surprise at the skills and passion shown by the 56 players. Players who have demonstrated their potential through different tests, from physical to soccer sense and shooting skills, left a strong impression on the coaches and raised expectations for full-fledged starting competition in the future.
