Original subtitles

The second season of "Shooting Stars" begins now!

We didn't expect the second season to begin so soon.

We have three new teams this time.

In this season, the three new teams...

and the teams that placed from 4th to 6th last season,

FC Giants, FC Actionista, and FC Gavengers,

will play the league games.

(FC Actionista)

(After the first season's league was over...)

(The place for FC Actionista's meeting to prepare for the next season)

Hello.

(Coach Lee Young Pyo, the determined Sparkling Eyes)

Can I sit on the side?

- Yes, you can. - I feel more at ease here.

How have you been?

Not so well.

We got eliminated in the preliminaries.

After that,

I didn't feel too happy, so I haven't been well.

(Choi Yeo Jin, the ace Jlatan,)

(and Jeong He In, Heckam, fought at the forefront,)

Han Hye Jin against Jang Jin Hee. Han Hye Jin!

(but they lost in the shoot-out against FC Giants.)

Goal!

(They also lost with 1 to 2 against FC National Team Family.)

(With two losses and no wins, they're desperate for a win!)

It's a pity we don't get another chance.

(The league games ended for them before their potential could shine.)

At first,

I thought "Shooting Stars"...

would help invigorate the Korean soccer scene.

I thought it could expand the infrastructure of women's soccer...

or help it gain more popularity.

The Korea Football Association strongly recommended the show to me,

and that's how I joined the show.

When I first began,

I took it lightly as a league for fun.

But when I saw the players,

I realized they were playing sincerely.

They were all trying their best.

So, despite what I thought at first,

I learned a lot through the show...

and felt touched many times.

I thought...

only professional soccer players played with so much passion.

But whether you're a professional player or an amateur,

when anyone tries their best, it's inspiring.

That's what the show taught me,

so the show means a lot to me.

When we lose games, it doesn't just end at self-blame...

because we have my fellow players.

It's not that I lose alone,

but the entire team loses because of me.

That's the difficult part.

Hello.

(Choi Yeo Jin the Jlatan and Jeong He In the Heckam)

- You've been waiting for us? - You're early.

Welcome.

Hello.

- It's been a while. - Yes, it has.

Have you slept well?

- Our poor Yeo Jin. - I...

- have been struck. - By what?

I don't know if I can say this,

but I've been lovestruck by soccer.

I'm lovestruck by soccer.

- It's... - You now know the fun of scoring.

The mid-range shot...

- That was excellent. - It didn't matter whether we won or lost.

That was the best.

(Choi Yeo Jin was excellent in the All-Star game.)

(She scored a wonder goal from the center circle.)

(It's a top candidate for the best goal of 2021 on the show.)

I keep thinking about soccer even while I'm driving.

I keep calling my mom and manager to talk about soccer.

I keep getting goosebumps.

As you know, since you were all there,

I thought I had scored when I shot,

but everyone's face was sunken, and it was silent,

so I thought I didn't make it.

(Everyone was surprised by the wonder goal.)

(Frozen)

(She didn't even know that the ball went in.)

(It didn't go in?)

I asked around to see if I scored,

and then I turned around to see the coaches cheering.

Everyone was stunned in that split second.

- Right. - Everyone was so stunned...

- that it was like time froze. - Indeed.

It was like time froze.

- I guess this is why people play soccer. - That's right.

In the All-Star game, including He In and me,

all members of FC Actionista played well,

which made me feel better about our elimination.

Didn't He In also score?

- Yes, a penalty kick. - She did.

He In, when you joined that team,

even though only the best players were recruited into the team,

- you were still the kicker. - Yes.

You were the shooter.

Jeong He In.

(Heckam's free-kick...)

(has become sharper.)

It's going!

(She even nailed the cannon-like mid-range shot.)

(The perfect kick pose)

- Team Red! - Shoot!

(With a calm and collected penalty kick,)

(she scored.)

What was it like to score?

- Thrilling, right? - Incredibly.

- Our team has... - Coach.

- such good players. - Hold on.

We had such great players on the team,

so if we didn't win the league,

you said you'd quit as a coach. I think you should clarify what you said.

No, I said I'd take all the blame.

I said if we couldn't win with these players, it'd be on me.

If we don't win, it's because of the coach's incompetency.

- You said that. - Yes, I did.

What do you think about that?

I still...

believe that's true.

But the other teams also worked so hard.

They're all so good. They've improved so much.

They all have.

You two also improved dramatically.

We did.

We practiced hard.

The only thing that's left is for you to improve.

That's the issue here.

I'm the only one who still needs to improve.

It's just me left.

- Hello! - Hello!

- You're here. - Welcome!

- Hello, Coach. - Hello.

- Welcome! - How have you been?

- It's been a while. - Our goalkeeper!

- Welcome. - Hello.

Goodness.

(She's dressed like an actress and not a soccer player today.)

How have you all been?

- We've been well. - We had a lot of time...

as we got eliminated early on.

(Breaking her heart)

Of course, you were busy with your lives and all...

To be honest,

I was very sad after the elimination...

because we didn't get to play the game for the 5th and 6th places.

Right.

Why is it just these two? Don't we have seats for the other two?

Lee Mi Do and Ji E Suu, who aren't here,

are too busy with their shows and movies,

so, unfortunately, they can't join us this season.

Right. Those two...

So, we discussed with Coach Lee,

and FC Actionista has something that sets you apart from the others.

The other teams' coaches will be taking charge of a different team.

With Coach Hwang Sun Hong coaching the U-23 soccer team,

all the other coaches are switching around.

But Coach Lee strongly insisted the last season's failure was his fault,

so FC Actionista is the only team that has the same coach.

You'll be sure to make us the winning team, then.

If we lose again, it's all on you.

You need to retire.

Don't ever come back to FC Actionista!

Can I change the players too?

I mean it. You can retire.

That being said...

We should upgrade the players.

I want to tell you something.

I'm scared.

What's wrong?

- Is it hard to say? - I just...

What's with this mood?

- No. Absolutely not. - But I...

- No. - No!

No, don't say it.

I've been thinking...

it was a shame that we didn't get the chance to play the fifth-place match,

but playing two games,

I thought our team could have done better if there had been...

- another player instead of me. - Not at all. That's not true.

It has been such a huge burden for me.

No, don't say that.

I...

I...

So I...

First of all, everyone was so skilled.

And I felt like I was the black hole...

pulling the whole team down so that you couldn't go up.

(In the first group league with the Giants,)

(she lost the shoot-out.)

(In the second group league, she was suddenly placed as the goalkeeper.)

(It was her first try as the goalkeeper, and she was unstable.)

(Then she finally let the opponent score a goal.)

(My team lost because of me.)

I completely understand how you feel.

The players get that feeling when they think the team lost because of them.

In fact, there were a number of games that we lost because of me.

My team lost the games because of my mistake.

No matter what others said to comfort me,

it didn't get through to me at all.

Actually, my colleagues even had to join the military because of me.

The players could have been exempted from military duty...

if we'd won the gold medal in the 2002 Asian Games.

At that time, we had a great team. So we were expecting to win.

In the semifinal, we had a shoot-out.

But we lost because I couldn't get my penalty kick in.

It was the semifinal.

(In the 2002 Busan Asian Games)

(The shoot-out in the semifinal against Iran)

(Young Pyo was the second kicker.)

(The shoot-out score was 5 to 3. Korea lost as Young Pyo couldn't score.)

("Lee Young Pyo's military shoot")

("His colleagues wouldn't have made that kind of mistake.")

It was so hard for me.

While I was taking a shower at home after the game,

I cried.

Because I was sorry.

The shoot-out is hurtful for us as well.

- The shoot-out is... - When we had the shoot-out...

against the Giants, I was the first kicker.

I should've scored a goal so that everyone could relax.

But I missed both times. That was really...

- You missed it twice. - Yes.

It was a big burden for me.

I think that we lost because of me.

Because I missed the first shot, my team lost the game.

That's true.

Anyone would...

- That's right. Seriously. - Yes.

If you'd scored, we could've won.

- Right. - We lost because you missed.

- That's true. - Yes.

So it was not because of you, but me.

We lost the game...

- No way. - because of Yeo Jin.

- It was because of me. - It was Yeo Jin.

(She's hurt.)

- I let the opponent score the first goal. - But you...

blocked 5 to 6 goals in that game.

You did everything you could as the goalkeeper...

because you blocked all the other balls except two.

It was because the first kicker missed it,

not because you didn't block it.

(She's hurt again.)

Didn't you feel bad at that time, though?

I feel worse now!

Jae Hwa, to your way of thinking,

if strikers make a mistake, it becomes all their fault.

Jin Hee would feel that it's her fault if she couldn't block the ball.

We all personally think that we are not good enough.

None of us think that we are good.

We just need to trust each other,

fill each other's positions, and help one another.

- We need to be one. - You need to think this way.

I've mentioned the Asian Games.

Besides that, there's the World Cup preliminary round.

There are so many games that we lost because of me.

So I understand very well how you feel.

As we've played only two games,

you're confused since you don't know what to do.

- Once you know how, it'll be fine. - Right.

It will be just fine.

- I'll help you learn how to do that. - You need to stop thinking that way.

I actually...

A little...

I don't care about the physical fatigue.

But it's mentally difficult.

- Because... - Because of what?

I closed my Instagram account.

("I'm sorry. This page is no longer available.")

(Jae Hwa suddenly closed her account in the middle of the league.)

People are mean.

But...

it's not just you. And it's not just about Instagram.

There are YouTube and other broadcast platforms.

I visited those sites and checked them not so long ago.

Everyone is mentioned.

- My name was there too. - All of us get blamed.

They mocked my nickname Heckham.

That's what they said,

and they also said that I just kick the ball hard.

It's not just about you.

You don't have to worry about it, seriously.

We just...

need to show them how wrongful they are...

to spit out the mean words.

You don't have to worry about that at all.

Right.

It's important to listen to various opinions.

But we don't have to concern about the people who badmouth others.

Respect their opinions, but not their badmouthing.

So stop thinking that way.

And when we all work together,

we can make up for each other's weaknesses...

and move forward.

Someone has to make mistakes so that the coach can play his role.

If everyone is good, I don't need to be here.

We aren't that good, though.

I know.

Are you happy to say that?

- We are six substandard peas in a pod. - Something has...

Something has to be awkward...

and clumsy.

My kids watched the show I was on.

This show was aired years ago.

And they recently asked me why I couldn't jump there.

If I am to join the second season,

I have to be really good.

(I have to improve for my kids.)

But honestly, I'm not confident that I can be good.

I will make you good.

- Jae Hwa. - You don't have to worry at all.

If it was an individual sport, it could be impossible.

But soccer is a team competition. So it can work.

It's possible in soccer.

Certainly.

Our level of play is...

that of the first-graders.

- We don't even reach that level. - Right.

But our show, "Shooting stars," makes people joyful and happy...

because we do our best against the impossible.

Because we try really hard.

That's why many people love "Shooting Stars."

It's not about being good, but about doing the best.

Jae Hwa, giving up is not an option.

We are already in the same boat.

And Jae Hwa tries really hard in both training and the game.

That's good enough.

You play such a big role for us.

- I know. - Why do you think that way?

Without you, even if we win, it's a fail.

What we want is...

- Jae Hwa. - Yes.

What we want is growth, not success.

(You put it in such nice words.)

I'm eloquent today.

It reminds me of this incident.

I went to Tottenham Hotspur,

and a reporter asked me this question.

"You've been a national team player since you were in college,"

"but how can you always be successful without a slump for 7 to 8 years?"

(Lee Young Pyo played in the Tottenham in the Premier League from 2005 to 2008.)

(There was Lee Young Pyo before Son Heung Min.)

He was asking me how I could always have been successful...

without a single slump for 7 to 8 years.

I was very shocked when he asked me that.

I was blaming myself that very morning...

because I couldn't kick the ball in the direction I wanted...

before I went to the interview.

There were 5 to 6 games that were so important in my life,

and I thought that if I couldn't win or did badly in those,

my soccer career would end.

Now that I look back, I did badly in those games and lost all of them.

(He lost and blamed himself every time.)

I started to think...

about why people thought that way when I felt that I'd always lost.

As time went by,

I realized that the failure I thought was a failure indeed couldn't fail me at all.

That's when I realized...

if the failure which I thought completely defeated me...

couldn't really fail me at all,

I would succeed as long as I didn't give up.

(A wise speaker, Lee Young Pyo)

("As long as you don't give up, the failure will never fail you.")

What I'm trying to say to Jae Hwa is...

I'm sure you feel a bit disappointed in yourself.

But actually,

if you give in to that, it will lead to true failure.

But if you don't and push yourself again,

it will be the cause of your success.

If it leads to victory and growth later on,

it will become a beautiful story you can tell people.

- Including even a failure. - That's right.

Although you've failed,

people who've failed in a bigger way can write even greater success stories...

compared to those who've never failed.

("A big-time loser can write an even greater winning story.")

Now, you are ready for something big.

(She is ready to make a touching success story happen.)

Our team has done all the setup for it too.

That's right.

Everything is set up for her as an individual as well.

You're cool, Coach.

- That's so touching. - Let's give it a try.

First,

don't put me under the spotlight.

Let me drink some water.

Seriously.

I can't believe I even talked about the Premier League here.

But you are all working on dramas and stuff, right?

- We should carry out both. - Can we?

I won't be doing anything else.

(Taking a break from being an actress)

Decide now whether you'll play soccer or focus on acting.

Acting comes second to us.

It really did turn out that way. It became second to us all.

(FC Actionista's catchphrase)

("Acting comes second.")

While practicing, I suddenly felt super confused.

While practicing dribbling, I thought, "What in the world am I doing here?"

Actually,

I got an offer for a movie which starts filming in October.

- Did you say yes? - I said I wouldn't.

- Really? - Seriously?

- I'm serious. - You need time to practice.

(She did reject the offer for soccer.)

(I'm serious.)

Acting really has become second to me.

I really did say no.

I really did.

(Meditating)

(It wasn't easy to try soccer for the first time in life.)

(Crashing and falling)

(She has done her best.)

(When feeling nervous in the locker room,)

(she was in charge of making sure the teammates stayed strong.)

(In charge of the hypnotherapy before the games)

(She cried and laughed with the teammates in the past few months.)

(Thanks to her colleagues' trust and support,)

(Kim Jae Hwa chose to keep growing instead of giving up.)

(Please stay excited to see FC Actionista become stronger with new members.)

(Shooting Stars)

We will have three new teams for this season.

- Three teams? - That's right.

Okay, then, we must now meet the teams...

that have newly joined "Shooting Stars" in excitement.

(New Team C's first meeting)

I'm so nervous.

Shall I go inside?

(Arrived first at the soccer field)

Hello.

(She is very polite.)

Hello.

(Feeling lost)

Shall I stay standing?

Can you introduce yourself again as you look at the camera?

Okay.

Hello, I'm Song So Hee, and I'm a gugak musician.

(Song So Hee, the Shooting gugak musician)

(Spreading out)

Ours is the best!

I'm Song So Hee.

(She is a gugak prodigy who made a spectacular appearance.)

(That prodigy...)

(has grown up to be everyone's gugak musician.)

(Now, as a musician who deserves to be named a national treasure,)

(she is spreading the beauty of gugak all over the globe.)

(It's Song So Hee, Korea's gugak musician.)

People must be surprised to see you...

here on the soccer field.

I agree with that.

Not many people are aware...

that I love soccer.

(Thinking)

I've done futsal every week for about eight months.

(Song So Hee)

(So Hee is the striker in a red cap.)

(Nonstop kick)

(Attacking the left side now)

(She skillfully passes the ball back!)

I'm crazy about soccer.

- Really? - Yes.

I've been adjusting my work schedule to leave time for soccer.

You must've liked soccer for a very long time.

I just felt...

it was very romantic to see...

a group of women playing sports together.

I practiced soccer by myself every day...

by watching YouTube videos.

I practiced at the back of my apartment building on my own.

I didn't know anyone who could teach me.

But someone I knew...

told me to join her soccer team.

So, I joined the team.

I've only seen you look very beautiful on stage.

I want to break out of that public image as well.

There is that side to me,

but to a greater extent than you expect,

I'm very free-spirited...

and very energetic.

People don't seem to know too much about it.

(So Hee is a free-spirited and energetic woman.)

I've never learned it systematically.

So, I'm not very good.

But I've been to soccer games.

There are many Korean soccer players in the EPL as well these days.

I try to watch EPL games.

I've been enjoying watching them.

This place must feel very familiar to you.

It does.

It feels familiar.

I'm nervous.

Why are you nervous?

(A nervous ISFJ)

Because I get to meet my teammates, which is the most important part.

I'm very curious about who will come.

(About to meet her teammates for the first time)

First, I hope I'm the youngest member.

I'm very curious about the ages of all the players.

Also, I have no idea what the team will be like.

So, I'm curious about what the theme of the team is going to be.

(She is curious about so many things.)

I'm so excited.

I also briefly saw someone...

who had gray hair.

So, I'm very curious.

I wonder what profession...

she has.

I wonder what...

Did you say you saw someone with gray hair?

I'm not sure if it was gray or white.

She may be a dancer.

(So Hee is curious.)

(Someone has finally arrived.)

May I take a look?

Someone's coming.

She is the person with gray hair I saw before.

Who could she be?

Gray? Purple?

Have other players arrived?

(She is super nervous.)

(Politely getting ready to say hi)

(Stepping inside)

Hello.

(The Gugak Girl is faltering.)

- Hello. - Hello.

(The second player in the new "Shooting Stars" team)

- Hello. - Hello.

- My name is Cheetah. - Hi, I'm Song So Hee.

Yes.

(Cheetah, the Shooting rapper)

(A survival rap-star competition's...)

(illustrious winner)

(She's got superior rap skills.)

(To that, she even has unmatched charisma.)

(The fatal striker, Cheetah)

There haven't been concerts or anything recently, right?

There are none.

No concerts?

Honestly,

if these things go on for longer than a couple of years,

I don't think I'd be able to deal with it. I might retire.

I can't be a singer if there are no stages to perform.

- I understand. - I get the feeling I want to stop.

If I have 30 minutes on stage and sing 5 to 6 songs,

that supports me for a week or so.

With the energy I got from the audience.

It was a really big pillar of my life.

How did you feel to hear from us?

The funny thing is, strangely enough, at the time,

I was eating out with a friend,

and her cousin joined us unexpectedly,

and we talked to each other.

Then, he mentioned that he was teaching soccer classes,

and I said that I wanted to get into some kind of sport.

So they said, "Cheetah, come play soccer, and we'll take care of you."

And after I got a call for this, I said, "I'll go to learn some soccer!"

Immediately.

I thought that this might be fate.

"Am I going to do this?"

"I think I am. I think I need to."

I had those thoughts.

(Cheetah is coming for us.)

- Hi. My name is Cheetah. - Yes, hello. My name is Song So Hee.

Is no one else here yet?

No.

Do you two know each other?

Us? I think this is our first meeting.

I think so too.

(It's the first time they have ever met each other.)

(What is this odd mix of gugak and hip hop?)

- Do you like soccer? - Soccer...

Yes, I like soccer.

- Do you play soccer? - No.

Is this your first time ever?

- Yes. I haven't played many ball sports. - Really?

Do you also like playing soccer?

- Yes. - Do you play?

- It hasn't been long since I started. - Yes.

We can sit here.

Are these chairs?

(Fiddling)

Balls and I aren't very close.

I'm going to start making an effort.

(Still awkward)

Are you more comfortable standing?

- Should I sit? - Should we sit comfortably?

(Chuckling)

(What will be the identity of this new team?)

Who is it?

Hello!

(Someone else is here?)

Hello!

Hello!

Nice to meet you!

(The Shooting broadcaster, Park Seul Gi)

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

(There are no celebrities who have not crossed her path.)

(The star amongst the stars)

Oh, my!

(Professional broadcaster in her 18th year)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Park Seul Gi)

- Oh, my! My gosh. - Nice to meet you.

What do you mean these people are small?

You need to be my size to be considered small.

You're really tall!

- Are we a team of short people? - No.

(No!)

- They're saying we're not. - But we're not a team of singers either.

- What is it, then? - Have you ever released an album?

- Yes, I have. - Then maybe we're all singers.

It must be a team of singers.

Really?

(Would I fit with a team of singers?)

So, we don't know what kind of team we are yet?

- No, we're guessing at the moment. - Really?

Do we know how many of us there are?

- A team is usually... - Five people.

- Did they say we were five? - But there could be switches,

- so it could be around six people. - Right?

Including the players on the bench?

It's six people, but only five will be coming today.

Is that so?

If it's five, there are two more to come. Should we try to guess?

- The combination of the three of us... - I can't figure it out.

with a rapper, a gugak musician...

- I'm a broadcaster. - You're a broadcaster,

- who emcees. - Right.

Yes. So I really can't guess what it could be, right?

Right.

Who will it be?

- What is it? - I'm curious now. This is well-planned.

- There's no way to know. - Right?

(What is this group? There's no way to know.)

(Right at that moment, the fourth player arrived.)

Hello!

Has anyone else arrived?

Hello!

(The girl who has a childlike smile)

What do I do? I have butterflies!

Hello, I'm Kim Hee Jung.

(The Shooting actress, Kim Hee Jung)

First of all, the most famous one is "Kkokji,"

for which I am the most recognizable to the older generation.

(She appeared in "KKokji" in 2000 as a nine-year-old.)

(Even in front of the sculpture-like handsome Won Bin,)

(she acted in an impeccable dialect.)

(And with Youn Yuh Jung, the Academy Award-winner,)

(she pulled off her good acting.)

And with people of our generation, it's "Magic Kid Masuri"...

that I'm most remembered for.

(To every one of her generation, she will forever be Yi Seul.)

(Lee Hong Gi at 13, Kim Hee Jung at 11, Oh Seung Yun at 12)

(After a huge growth spurt and her bubbly charm,)

(she is still pursuing her career as an actress.)

You would have done a lot of action too.

Yes, because I also played a warrior and executioner.

There were battle scenes and such, where I had to ride a horse.

(Horseback riding and wake surfing)

(She even has the confidence to dance on the board.)

(And she enjoys motorcycling!)

(She's a sports maniac.)

(She is even in a dance crew with the super-popular Honey J.)

I have really strong thighs.

So my friends say that I would be really good at soccer.

Recently, I'd already wiped out all of my female friends,

and I beat five of my male friends in thigh wrestling.

- That's amazing! - I have really strong thighs.

(Legs that were strengthened, just for soccer)

(Kim Hee Jung is coming.)

Today's the first meeting.

I'm nervous.

You must have played a bit, you seem...

No. I just have no idea, so I'm not even afraid.

- Is that so? - I think so.

- I think someone else is here. - Someone's coming.

(Peeking)

Hello!

- Really? - We've met before, right?

- Yes, recently. - My gosh!

She looks so cool!

Hello! Oh, my!

- Hello! - Hello!

- My gosh! - Yes.

Doesn't she just seem so sturdy?

- I think you'd be really into sports. - No, I've been lazy.

It's nice to meet you!

(The soccer lover is impressed.)

- No, we can't do anything beforehand. - Really?

You did some practice beforehand, right?

- No, I didn't get a chance to practice. - You didn't?

Really? You seem so good already.

- I'm also intrigued because... - Right?

I was so curious.

- Right? - I'm Song So Hee.

- I had no real information. - Me neither.

- We were just sitting. - Yes.

Should we sit together and have a chat?

- Do we just have one more person left? - That's right, they said there were five.

- I'm so curious. - Right?

(Cheetah's eyes light up.)

Someone else is coming.

(The fifth member is slowly approaching.)

Who is it?

This is fun!

Wait. Who is it?

She's really hip.

And really charismatic.

Isn't she someone who's on SWF?

(What is the identity of the fifth member?)

She was really scary. Isn't she wearing sunglasses?

She's wearing sunglasses, and she looks quite fierce.

(Cheetah is loading.)

- I think it's SE SO NEON. - Isn't she someone who's on SWF?

I think she's the singer of SE SO NEON.

- I agree. - She looked really fierce.

(A black guitar bag...)

(and red soccer cleats?)

Do I just go this way?

(The Shooting rocker, Hwang So Yoon of the band SE SO NEON)

(She's looking hip as always.)

Hello,

I am Hwang So Yoon of the band SE SO NEON.

It's nice to meet you.

(Who is the woman with the chic look and charming androgynous voice?)

This is embarrassing.

(A super popular band that has collaborated with the great Yu Jae Seok)

(The live clip of "The Wave" that captivated many young female fans)

(Biting on the guitar pick)

(The guitarist and vocalist of the band SE SO NEON)

(Hwang So Yoon is the icon of Generation Z.)

("Nonadaptation" by SE SO NEON made it on the Best 35 Rock Albums of the year.)

(Her band has conquered the music scene from indie to popular music.)

(The hottest super rookie of 2021 right now)

(She sings the sentiments of our time with a unique voice.)

("The newest wave that lies before us")

(Not only global musicians such as Ryuichi Sakamoto...)

(but also her actual friend Yoo Ah In respect the path they are taking.)

- Please ask this question. - You were on a soccer team in school.

Can you tell us when this was?

- It was in middle and high school. - Really?

- In middle and high school? - Yes.

Was it a coed team or a girls' team?

- It was a female soccer team. - A female soccer team.

Can you tell me the name of your team?

It wasn't like our team had a full name with FC in it.

It was called Cramps.

Why was that?

It means we won't give in to period cramps...

and play soccer throughout the month. It showed our spirit.

- Uniform? - We'd like to see you play it.

- See me playing soccer? - Yes.

How could I show it to you?

- Do you have a ball here? - Yes.

You can try skills like dribbling.

I thought this might happen,

- so I came wearing them just in case. - She was wearing them.

- You're the first one who's wearing it. - But this is so sudden.

Try playing with the ball a little.

I guess you wear contact lenses when you play.

This is how I would play it.

(As a popular rocker, her dribbling is also rhythmical.)

I don't have any special skills I can show you, though.

Can you try ball lifting?

- Gosh. - Something like that.

I used to have good fitness when we had concerts,

but since we don't have them as much anymore,

I seem to have become less energetic.

So, life has become really dull.

What I can tell you is...

that being in a band makes me work as a team,

and I also think performing on stage is a kind of sport too.

- Yes. - It needs teamwork.

When I played soccer with my friends a few months ago,

I really loved it.

I realized I was someone who needed to move around actively.

It made me realize...

I'm the kind of person who likes to play and sweat together with people.

(Sitting clustered and waiting)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Has it been decided?

Oh, hello.

(It's Hwang So Yoon of SE SO NEON.)

See? I told you so.

Nice to meet you.

- Hello - Hello.

(Welcoming)

How do I go in?

You can come in through there.

- It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Oh, gosh. - Hello.

- Welcome. - It feels awkward.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello. Nice to meet you.

This is so cool.

- Yesterday, - Yes?

I was looking at her Instagram for quite a while.

Why?

I don't know. I was going from one person to the next.

Were we destined to meet?

- It seems like it. - There's something about this show.

- I felt like that from the beginning. - That's true.

- It's good to be here. - Nice to meet you.

As far as I know, she is younger than me.

- Really? - Weren't you born in 1998?

No, I was born in 1997.

- They're the same age. - Are we?

(So Hee and So Yoon are the same age who were born in 1997.)

- You were born in 1997? Nice! - Yes.

Not many people were born in 1997.

I have a friend.

- Didn't you start school a year early? - No, I started in my year.

- You started in your year. - Me too.

- That's so nice to see. - Good to see you.

When you have someone who's the same age, it makes you cheer up more.

- That's so nice. - I was born in 1997.

I work in the broadcasting industry.

My name is Park Seul Gi.

It's nice to meet you.

I was born in 1986.

That's a lot of years before you.

- I feel sad. - You might feel sad, but it's okay.

- Take it easy. - Okay. My name is Cheetah.

I was born in 1990.

- I'm a rapper. That's me. - I see.

My name is Kim Hee Jung.

I'm an actress, and I was born in 1992.

She's so pretty.

My name is Song So Hee.

I was born in 1997.

(The youngest members, Song So Hee and Hwang So Yoon)

What an eclectic group we have.

- How did they bring us together? - It's so unexpected.

It's so unexpected.

It's my first time seeing every one of you.

- Shall we sit down? - Okay.

Do you play soccer?

I like soccer.

I came because they play soccer here.

- Do you like to watch soccer games? - No, I like to play.

- Have you been playing soccer? - How long has it been since you started?

I didn't pursue it passionately,

but I started playing it in middle school.

- Really? - You did?

- I love to run. - You do?

What position did you play?

I was a midfielder.

- Midfielders are crucial in soccer. - They have to strike and defend too.

- That's what I heard. - How reliable she is.

Has everyone played soccer before?

- I've never played it. - Me neither.

- I've played it. - You have?

Yes. I'm not good, though.

I wasn't really trained.

- I just try to do my best. - Are you in a team now?

- Yes, I'm playing in two teams. - I see.

What's it like to play soccer?

It makes me go crazy.

- Because it's so fun? - It's fun.

My life has changed since starting soccer.

- Really? - It's changed?

Then you must've been interested in this show.

Of course, I've watched all the episodes.

- That's amazing. - I've watched them,

and I practiced with the goal to join a team on the show.

Is that when you got a call to cast you on the show?

- Yes. - Did the opportunity come to you?

Yes, I went around telling everyone.

I was hoping it would reach the production crew of this show.

Right. That's what we should do these days.

Which position do you usually take?

Usually, I'm the winger,

- I see. - or I stay on the front line and attack.

(They already have the midfielder and striker at the front line.)

- The striker on the front line scores? - Yes.

(Respect)

That's amazing.

- Our young members... - I'm so surprised.

- are so reliable. - I know.

Really?

(Will the two Songs of the same age become the best two players?)

- It's just the two of us. - I see.

(Her graceful smile...)

(is wiped off as she charges.)

(A feed pass)

(Hwang So Yoon's Marseille turn)

(Song So Hee's in front kick)

(Midfielder So Yoon and Striker So Hee have perfect teamwork.)

(Tossing the ball)

(A fantastic tiki-taka)

(The youngest members are the two best players.)

So Yoon and So Hee are showing amazing teamwork.

- Now we've become a soccer team. - That's right.

- I think we make a good combination. - We do?

Now that we're all here tell us what brought us together.

I'll tell you now.

- Please do. - I'm so curious.

I'll tell you the name of the team first.

The name of our team.

(What's up with her reaction?)

The name of the team that the five of you are in...

is called FC...

(FC Fierce Girls?)

(FC Short Girls?)

The name of the team that the five of you are in...

is called FC Wonder Woman.

- Wonder Woman. - Wonder Woman?

(FC Wonder Woman?)

Why is it called that?

Cheetah has the vibe of Wonder Woman.

- I like it. - She does.

- I should've put on heavier makeup. - This team...

is a united team, in a sense.

We brought together people from diverse fields...

who are very hip these days.

It's a group of Wonder Woman...

- who work in diverse fields. - That's so cool.

- I like it. - That's amazing.

(She loves the composition of FC Wonder Woman.)

You all work in different fields.

- Song So Hee is a gugak musician. - She's the best singer in gugak.

Hwang So Yoon is a rocker in the indie scene.

Cheetah is a rapper.

I'm not very clear, right?

- Hip people from many fields sounds... - The host.

- You're the host. - I agree with that.

But I felt really small when they said, "hip people from diverse fields."

- No way. - But you are...

- You look the hippest today. - really hip today.

- Am I? - You look like Wonder Woman today.

- Didn't you know about our team name? - No, I really didn't know.

- It's as if you knew about it. - You're hip.

And she's an actress.

- It's different for everyone. - She's a hot actress these days.

But Wonder Woman sounds cool.

- It feels pretty nice. - Doesn't it?

- It gives a strong vibe. - Yes.

I'm glad to meet everyone today.

You'll have a match on Wednesday.

Really? Do we start that soon?

We don't get time to practice?

You also have to play two games that day.

- Two games? - Two games.

(A sense of nervousness creeps in.)

Who will be our coach?

We'll tell you on the day.

Really?

- We chose a coach for your team. - Yes?

- We chose your coach. - Really?

(So it was formed...)

(FC Wonder Woman, what will their debut match be like?)

(Four days later, on the day of the match)

"Shooting"...

(His vocal cords are working hard.)

"Stars"!

- We're back with a new season! - Yes!

You know where we are now, right?

- It's where legend took place. - Yes.

This is where the pilot for the New Year's special...

took place.

I remember what Shin Bong Sun of FC Gavengers shouted out here.

- "Focus!" - "Focus!"

The way she shouted "Focus!" was impressive.

I believe today is the day...

where a passion and commitment for soccer...

- matter the most. - That's right.

As the skills of the three new teams formed for the third season...

have not been verified yet,

we aim to see their potentials via a debut match...

which is to be played between these three teams...

- in the form of evaluation. - Yes.

I believe that today, rather than experiences or skills,

everything will be possible only if they have a passion for soccer.

- Yes. - I'm excited to see...

the new story to be written by these teams.

Now, we should meet the new shooting stars...

- with excitement. - Yes.

Which newbies will we meet?

(Trying to hum)

I want to go to the bathroom.

I'm nervous.

(Getting nervous upon the thought of playing)

(She arrives at the site with excitement and nervousness.)

Yes?

You'll see stairs over there.

- Yes. - Head up there.

Okay, thank you.

(Breathing out)

(She boldly climbs up...)

(and hesitates.)

(Is no one in there?)

(Meerkat mode on)

(There are two locker rooms on the second floor.)

Is it here?

(I'm FC Wonder Woman.)

(FC Wonder Woman's locker room)

(Knocking...)

(on an empty room)

Hello. I'm the first one here.

It's red.

(A uniform with radiant stripes)

(FC Wonder Woman)

(Who will wear which number?)

(Starting to unpack first)

It's cool.

(Sitting modestly)

Number one? Who's number one?

It's So Yoon's.

What? Number 819?

She must've been born on August 19th.

Number 110?

She must've been born on January 10th.

(She concludes that they must all be birthdays.)

The uniform is very nice.

Thank you. How cool.

(Sitting back modestly)

Now, we will...

She's trying to run the show again.

Of course. There are five cameras here.

- How can I sit still? - That's a habit.

- I mean, we... - How can you start right away so early?

- I can start right away. - You have a switch, I guess.

As long as everything's ready to go.

We now have...

(Getting ready to properly run the show)

to play two games today.

I'm really nervous.

- I'm not nervous. - I couldn't sleep.

- I'm sleepy. - Gosh.

The time is a bit early.

How determined are you today?

- Let's hear it from Hee Jung. - I'm sorry?

- My determination. - Yes.

Well, I have strong beliefs about my team.

Since we have Cheetah with us,

- Me? - she can scare the other team off.

That's true.

I'm in charge of scaring the others.

- I like that. - Good.

- We got this, right? - I'm so sleepy.

- Here. - We're FC Wonder Woman.

Should we chant something related?

- Right? - Put it out here.

- FC Wonder Woman! - FC Wonder Woman!

(Still sitting modestly)

I hear Cheetah.

- Hi! - So Hee.

- Hello. - Were you lonely?

- Were you lonely? - I'm always by myself.

- You're always early and waiting. - Hello.

It's red!

It's pretty!

(The stripes catch their eyes the moment they come.)

Why is our uniform so nice?

I like red.

We each have a number.

- It's so pretty. - Look.

- I'll take a photo. - What is it? Mine is...

- right here. - Yours is here.

- This one's mine! - Mine's number one.

- You're number one? - Mine's 23.

Why is mine so small? It won't fit.

- Can you change this to a larger one? - Yes, she likes boxy-fit.

(While Cheetah's on a change expedition...)

- Look. - Where do I get changed?

(Engraving this moment right as she sees it)

(Engraving this moment right as she sees it as well)

They did say the uniform was made a bit small.

Look at the back part.

These also seem small.

I wanted to have the number 23.

- Why? - Why?

My birthday is on the 23rd.

- I kept using 23, - Really?

but I wanted number one this time for some reason.

- Aren't number one for goalies? - Goalie.

- Goalies usually wear... - I think so.

- I feel like she'll be the goalie. - I don't want to be the goalie.

She needs to run.

- You seem to have the longest arms. - That's right.

Is your birthday on August 19th?

- What? - It's correct, no?

It's my husband's birthday.

Why are you being so corny here?

It just happened.

She's the only one married among us.

How nice.

It'll somewhat feel like...

- carrying my husband... - With him on your back.

- on my back. - Carrying the weight as the breadwinner.

- But I... - Maybe you'll run like this.

I wanted to get energy,

so I wanted my husband to have some symbolic meaning.

What's yours, Cheetah?

This is the speed of a cheetah.

- Really? That's so cool. - I see.

- Cheetah's speed. - Cheetah's speed.

(What an original thought!)

- It's 110 kilometers per hour. - Then you'll run at that speed?

- I'll be looking forward to it. - I can't wait to see it.

She'll be flying.

- You'll reach anywhere in no time. - At least I wish for that.

You'll be flying around.

At least I'm flying in my mind.

Why are you seven, So Hee?

- I... - It's lucky seven.

- Son Heung Min? - It's because I like Son Heung Min.

He's number seven.

I'll try to be Song Heung Min.

Really?

My mom really likes soccer.

I asked her what my number should be,

and she said that someone would surely take the number seven.

- Yes. - I also had that feeling.

It was you.

Right. Then what's the 23 for, Hee Jung?

Thinking I'll be Michael Jordan in soccer and roam around the field...

- Like this? - Yes. I'm determined to do so,

and it's also Beckham's back number.

I didn't know that.

- Everyone put a lot of thought into this. - Yes.

I just thought I wanted to be number one.

(I want it because it's a super cool number.)

- That's all right. - Everyone thought just as much.

Good job.

(Everyone checks their lockers.)

I bought my shin guards, but they provide them for you.

- They are here indeed. - "Hwang So Yoon."

(The newbies are amazed by soccer equipment.)

- I want to try this already. - You go first.

Right, there's a changing room. I'll change quickly.

Do you want your shorts?

I got them with me.

(Done transforming into FC Wonder Woman)

It fits you perfectly.

- It fits you well. - It's so cute.

- Aren't you too cute? - It looks good on you.

Do I have to take these off? Can I keep them on?

- I think you can keep them on. - Yes, I'll keep them on.

I'm nervous.

Why do I feel so nervous?

- I need to go to the bathroom. - Did you get any sleep?

- I couldn't. - Not at all?

Two hours, maybe.

- You slept the most among us. - Nobody here got any sleep.

You slept the most.

Is the coach going to explain...

- using that now? - That's right.

- Who's our coach? - I'm curious too.

(Everything feels new and exciting to the newbies.)

Our photos.

Cheetah really came out like a cheetah.

- What is it? - Hee Jung has...

all her 36 teeth showing.

- She must've been in a really good mood. - I know.

She must've been happy.

So Yoon.

She's so hip. She's not like others.

Everyone looks cool.

Later on, they'll explain...

- using this. - Yes.

I'm excited.

It feels different with the uniform on.

Right?

I often wore uniforms as my pajamas.

- They're very light. - Yes.

- Really? - I used to wear it often.

The uniform's really comfortable to wear.

- And it must keep you cool during summer. - Yes, and your sweat dries off quickly.

What are you going to do with your glasses, So Yoon?

- Me? - Yes.

- I brought these. - Contacts?

- Just the day before, - You got goggles?

- I bought goggles. - Really?

They sell goggles for soccer.

They do, but I thought they'd be very uncomfortable.

- What are those? - I feel like they'd be uncomfortable.

They look like this.

They're just like swimming goggles.

(Everyone's attention is on this hip item.)

It'd look like this.

That's cool.

It's cool.

(Lady rocker with goggles)

(Getting humid just in a few moments)

I'll have to get a pair too.

- Yes. - Send me the link.

Okay. I'll share it with you.

You're just ready to look hip.

- Really. - I can't take my glasses off.

We're somewhat like bibimbap.

Bibimbap?

- Everyone with their own color... - That's true.

such as yellow, green, orange, and so on came together...

to make a delicious meal.

(Wonder bibimbap consisting of five ingredients)

She has a unique way of describing.

What are each of your work habits?

(Rock singer, host, rapper, gugak musician, and actress)

That's a good question.

For me,

when I listen to music...

Most people focus on their vocals,

but I have a tendency to focus on the background music.

(Fascinated)

I keep hearing the instruments separately,

so I'd say I analyze rather than just listen.

You can't focus on itself...

- Yes, I only listen at the studio. - if that's your habit.

Yes.

I feel like you'd think about how you could turn a song...

into a Gyeonggi folksong-style version whenever you listen to something.

- Is that not true? - Not at all.

- I just listen to the songs as they are. - There already are so many folksongs.

Yes, I'm already busy with those.

- I don't think Hee Jung would have any. - Well...

I thought this was the case for everyone,

but when I cry, I cry in front of the mirror, you know?

I always do that.

- That's so cool! - You thought everyone did that?

- I've never done that. - That's scary.

When I'm very sad,

and I want to cry,

- I start writing lyrics. - Really?

I write about it.

At first, I hated myself for that...

because I felt like I was manipulating my emotions.

I felt guilty about that,

but I kept doing that, and it became natural.

- You're such a musician. - When I'm crying...

in front of a mirror,

- watching me cry makes me cry more. - Really?

I keep on crying for more, and then I calm down.

That's a little scary.

I thought everyone did that.

Have you never done that?

Never. I never even thought to do that.

Don't we stop doing that after our teenage years?

You're still a teenager!

I'd never want someone watching me doing that.

In my case,

I can't be somewhere with music, like a cafe.

When I go to the gym,

the music is always blasting.

- You keep focusing on the music? - It's so difficult being there,

so even when I go to meetings, I turn all the music off.

I guess it's because you listen to it all.

It's so common for musicians...

not to listen to music outside work.

Because your head focuses too much on the music.

And it feels like work.

That's fascinating.

Though we do have acquaintances, we don't know each other well.

What's FC Top Girl?

- "Top Girl"! - What could that be?

We passed by their room.

(The mysterious room spotted by So Yoon on the first floor)

(FC Top Girl's locker room)

I saw a sign that read, "Top Girl."

- "Top Girl"? - Yes.

"FC Top Girl"?

Top Girl? What's that?

(What's FC Top Girl like?)

Maybe it's "tapgol."

(Eyes growing)

Maybe it's "tapgol."

That must be it!

- Meaning "old singers." - You're so smart.

Maybe the team consists of singers from a while ago.

- That must be right. - That's brilliant.

Who could be there?

Like S.E.S. or Fin.K.L.

- It wouldn't be Eugene, would it? - No.

She's too popular on "Penthouse."

She's gotten way too popular.

Indeed. She can't take more work.

- Eugene can't get hurt. - Then Bada, maybe?

It could be Bada.

- Bada? - Our generation...

- had After School and T-ARA. - Right.

After School can't be considered old.

- They can't. - Secret!

Secret!

- No. Even older. - KOYOTE.

KOYOTE, perhaps.

Yes, it has to be that generation.

There's Fin.K.L too.

- Or... - I got one!

Maybe Hwangbo?

From Chakra?

- That's possible. - That's a good one.

The team would be too strong, then.

- Roo'ra. - KOYOTE and Roo'ra.

- Roo'ra! Chae Ri Na! - Chae Ri Na!

Chae Ri Na!

(She's perfect.)

(Is she a guru or what?)

- Isn't that a good one? - I could totally see her here.

- She looks like she'd be good at soccer. - She's totally the captain type.

- Really? - I'm confident.

- I just have a feeling. - Right.

What am I, a guru?

How are things looking for our team today?

- Please tell us. - Will we win today?

(Will FC Top Girl be what Guru Cheetah is expecting?)

(First floor, FC Top Girl's locker room, and second floor, FC Wonder Woman's)

(An empty locker room...)

(with uniforms waiting for their owners)

(Who's the first player...)

(on FC Top Girl?)

(Yubin of Wonder Girls, the nation's top girl group)

(Anxious)

(Wonder Girls, the group behind the "Tell Me" syndrome)

(She represents rap, dance, drumming, and a healthy image of the group.)

(Yubin, the second generation girl groups' textbook rapper)

I know nothing about soccer,

but "Shooting Stars" has increased my interest in the sport.

It made me want to learn...

and play soccer.

It's the most exciting when game plans work.

I think these game plans are the most fun for me.

That's why I love watching set plays.

I'm a performer,

and as a performer, I often have to find empty spots to fill.

As I was in a group,

spacing and not crowding was important.

I think it's similar to that.

I can see that.

(Yubin's position at the left end)

(During the rap part, she moves to the center.)

(She finds her exact spot without even looking.)

(She's perfectly in her spot.)

(How will Yubin, a girl group member of ten years, do in soccer?)

("I'd like 111 as my number...")

("as I'm very competitive to be in the first place.")

(It was filmed following COVID-19 disinfection guidelines.)

Hello!

- How have you been? - Sorry?

- How have you been? - I've been well.

Do you know what team you're on?

No.

- Yubin, - Yes.

you're on FC Top Girl.

- FC Top Girl? - Yes.

- Why is it called that? - You can think about it inside.

Okay, then.

(What kind of a team will FC Top Girl be?)

Hello!

(The first player is entering the locker room.)

(It's her first time in a locker room.)

I guess there are five players.

Are there only five players?

We only have five players?

(Putting her bag down after checking her number)

(Checking the uniform)

I guess this is our team color.

(Yubin looks good in anything.)

(Awkwardly standing around)

(She's not used to having alone time after ten years in a group.)

It's stained.

(I wonder who will be on my team.)

I don't know anything!

(Right then, FC Top Girl's second player arrives.)

Hello!

(Ayumi of Sugar)

Hello!

(How did she end up joining "Shooting Stars"?)

Hello, I'm Ayumi.

Nice to see you all.

(It's been a while since she's been on camera.)

I haven't been out in so long,

so I just drink at home or cook.

I also do home workouts.

I used to do everything in my group,

but we don't have that anymore.

When I see idol groups on TV,

I miss the time I was in a group myself.

(Sugar debuted in 2001 with sweet and sugar-like charms.)

(Park Soo Jin)

(Hwang Jung Eum)

(Ayumi was a lovely member with plump cheeks.)

(She debuted as solo and created her own fad words.)

(A girl like me with cute and small buttocks)

(She even showed off her unique charm on "X-Man.")

(She is Sana in the 21st century.)

Hello.

Ayumi, do you know which team you are on?

No, I don't know anything.

What does it say over there?

Do I go in there?

You are in FC Top Girl.

- "Top Girl" is written over there. - Top Girl...

What does "Top Girl" mean?

- Ask them once you get in there. - Okay.

(She walks into the mysterious locker room of FC Top Girl.)

(She noticed her.)

- Hello. - Hello.

(They said hello first.)

- Hello, I am... - Hello.

Hi, I'm Ayumi.

I'm Yubin.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

(The ones who have topped the music charts are here.)

- We must be on the same team. - I think so.

(Excited)

Let's get together.

(We're on the same team from now on.)

- It's... - Yes.

- These are uniforms. - You can put your stuff in...

- where your number is. - It's here.

- Is your number 99? - Yes.

(Ayumi's back number is 99.)

It's cool.

- It's cool. This was it. - Yes.

I see.

(Awkward)

- There are three more to come. - Yes.

Gosh.

(Looking around)

What does "Top Girl" mean?

Top girl.

Top girl?

It's "Top Girl," but it somehow sounds like "Tapgol."

Do you know what tapgol is?

No.

It means...

singers in the old days.

- I see. - Tapgol means singers in the old days.

But it's actually "Top Girl."

It seems to have two different meanings.

- You also debuted a long time ago. - Yes.

- So did I. So it makes sense. - As it's been over ten years.

When was your debut?

It was in December 2001.

(Debuted in 2001 and 2007)

I debuted in 2007.

- Really? - Yes.

(It's already been 15 years since Yubin's debut.)

- It's been a while, then. - Yes.

You look like a new generation.

Not at all.

No?

- You're old too. - Ayumi. I'm not that young.

Singers from the old day.

Don't you think that other members would be older than us?

Would they?

- I think they are. - If the team name means "tapgol,"

- they could be older. - I think they are.

(An old yet familiar melody that brings back the old memories)

- What? - Overall...

(Surprised)

(As soon as they saw her, they bowed.)

(Kan Mi Youn from Baby V.O.X, the first generation of the Korean wave.)

- Gosh. Hello. - Hello.

Hello, I'm Kan Mi Youn.

I'm hosting "Kan Mi Youn's Love Night" at nine every night downstairs.

I have better stamina than I look.

And I had the energy.

As I danced for a long time, I had heavy muscles too.

(Baby V.O.X, the start of the first generation girl group)

(She joined the group in 1998 and had her best days.)

(From innocent girl to female warrior,)

(Kan Mi Youn was a beautiful all-rounder.)

(Curtain bangs at that time)

But now that I've turned 40,

I feel sick everywhere like this.

I easily get sick.

- It's been a long while. - My gosh.

Long time no see.

- Has it been 20 years? - No.

- It's been 15 years. - Is it 15 years?

- My gosh. - You're so beautiful.

- Hello. - Is it our first time seeing in person?

No. We've seen each other several times.

Wonder Girls debuted while I was in China.

We met on your radio show.

- Did we? - Yes.

Really?

It's been a while, though.

Mi Youn, is this your number?

Yes, that's mine.

- Is it? - So this is my locker.

- Number 99? - Yes, I'm 99.

They all chose good numbers.

I think...

- the rest will be older than us. - Right?

- We were talking about that. - Are you the youngest?

Yes, I think I am.

Geez.

I wonder who'll come.

I think I know one of them.

Really? Who's it?

- I was checking social media. - Yes.

And I felt that it could be her.

She took a photo in the SBS lobby...

and posted it with a message, "Can I make it?"

I saw that as I walked out of the meeting.

It seems that she is someone I like a lot.

Who is it? I'm curious.

She is a very nice person.

Hello.

It feels like I'm going to school.

I feel like I'm going for track training like I did in the old day.

(Bada from S.E.S., the original fairies)

It's been a while.

(The beginning of K-girl group history in 1997)

(S.E.S. was the first girl group of all the girl groups.)

(The main vocalist of S.E.S., Bada)

I was in an athletic club in middle school...

and was a cheerleader in high school.

There is a subject that I got the highest grade in school.

Both theory and performance in physical education.

- I was top in the whole nation. - Top in the whole nation?

Yes, top in the whole nation.

The principal said,

"We have a student with the highest grade..."

"in the whole nation for the mock test!"

Everyone thought that it was either English or math.

But he said, "It's more proud as it's physical education."

"Only the person who has a healthy mind and body..."

"can be a true artist!"

I heard that you were awarded.

No. I was in fourth place.

In the Gyeonggi-do tournament,

I did the high jump and the long jump.

I was specialized in the long jump and 200m run.

Sometimes, I even sing better...

while I dance than just standing.

(She feels more comfortable when she sings while dancing.)

It's not "tapgol," but "top girl." Right?

- Hello. - Hello.

- My gosh. - Gosh. Hello.

(They automatically stood up.)

(Excited)

- You're so cute. - Nice to see you.

Long time no see.

- Gosh. It's been such a long while. - Geez.

- My goodness. - Oh, my gosh.

It's awkward.

- My dear. - What do we do?

Do you play soccer?

- Let me get my bag off first. - Go ahead.

Guys!

- Bada. - It's unbelievable.

- What do we do? - It's been such a long while.

It's been really long. I got goosebumps.

- I've seen you guys a lot on TV, though. - Let's sit on the floor.

- Sit on the floor. - I don't know why...

but now that you're here, it feels like we will win.

No.

- I suddenly feel confident. - No.

Doesn't my hair look like Jaws?

- The color is weird. - No.

Focus, FC Top Girl!

They can never get through us!

(Soccer with a powerful voice)

(Crash)

It's okay.

(The mad girl in that area is coming soon!)

At first, I wondered...

- why they cast me. - Me too.

- Me too. - Yes.

- Why? - I asked why.

- Didn't you all feel the same way? - Yes.

Then I thought again,

and I'd been envious of men playing soccer or baseball...

- early in the morning. - That's true.

(Same here.)

I thought that it would be fun to play sports together in a while.

Bada, are you obsessed with winning?

- Do you? - I look like I do.

- You do, very much. - But not as much as I look like.

Really?

(She's pouring cold water in the middle because she doesn't have a desire to win.)

(She slaps her cheeks herself.)

Our ball! Isn't it ours?

(Speaking up without desire to win?)

Here it comes!

(The look without a desire to win?)

- But as we're a team, - Yes.

- I don't want to put my team down... - Right.

- because of my mistake. - You're right.

I'm both.

I want to spare myself...

and have no desire to win.

But I want to be helpful to the team at the same time.

- I know. - Have you never played soccer?

Never. Have you?

- No. - We've never put our feet...

on the soccer ball.

Me neither. I never played it.

After I got cast,

I tried several times with the ball I borrowed from my friend. That's all.

She's at least sincere.

- Did the ball go in the right direction? - She's serious.

- Did it work well? - No, it didn't.

It didn't, right?

- Others must've played it before. - I think it'll be really tough.

Female singers are more naive than people think.

I know.

- I think that I'm the youngest. - Isn't it in order by age?

(Up to what point is it going back in time?)

(The automatic door signals the appearance of a legend.)

Hello.

(Chae Ri Na from Roo'ra, the living legend of tapgol)

Is it over there?

You need to go up there.

Is everyone here?

(Excited)

(Roo'ra, the symbol and pride of tapgol)

(The one and only icon of the end of the century)

(The triple threat and all-round talent that could rap, dance, and sing)

(From the first underwear fashion...)

(to the towel fashion)

(Forever idolized by all dance artists, including Lee Hyo Lee.)

(The beginning of a generation of "girl crush" female idols)

I couldn't sleep because of the butterflies in my stomach.

(Chae Ri Na is here.)

Somewhere in between feeling pressure and butterflies in my stomach.

(Who will be on my team?)

- Would it be a scary one? - I don't know.

(Knocking)

Yes!

(Ready to welcome the new member)

Yes!

(Our big sister is coming in now.)

- Gosh! Ri Na! - What is this?

(Rushing out)

Unbelievable.

- Ri Na! I knew it would be you. - Hello!

Ri Na!

This is crazy.

There is someone older than me!

- Ri Na! - The oldest of the group.

- Ri Na! - Guys,

- clear a path right now. - Sweep the dust!

Ri Na, come through.

I should go. I don't have a good feeling about this.

- There's no way. - We have to do it together.

Why? What kind of bad feeling?

- I'll hold this for you. - You're all bad at sports!

- That's not true! - I think Mi Youn is okay.

- I'll be good. - We haven't met before, have we?

- That's right. - She's Yubin.

I should use honorifics to start to be polite.

- No, don't worry about it. - To be polite.

Ri Na, I'll hold this for you.

- We'll be okay. - I'll hold this...

- so that you can't leave. - I figured it out, looking at your SNS.

What did you see?

- You posted a photo... - Yes?

where you were in the lobby, squatting down with a message,

- "Can I make it?" - "Can I make it?"

I knew it as soon as I saw that.

First of all, let me hug each of you once.

- Ri Na! - It's been so long!

Ri Na!

Hasn't it been a really long time since we last saw each other?

- I think the last time was around 2007. - In 2007?

Hasn't the design of the bills changed in the meantime?

- You complimented me so much back then. - I remember.

- We met not long ago, right? - Ri Na!

(But it's still good to see you.)

It's so nice to see you.

- Baby! - Baby!

(A real hug involving one leg)

I'm so reassured.

- Oh, my. This is incredible. - Ri Na!

To think that I'm seeing Wonder Girls here!

Hello, camera crew.

(Our elegant Ri Na)

It's so early in the morning. And our faces are seriously swollen.

(Now that we have greeted each other...)

- My knees hurt if I stand for too long. - Of course, Ri Na.

Have you ever played soccer?

No, I've never played.

- But you're quite athletic, right? - We're in trouble.

We're all relying on you.

- You can't! - You're good, right?

I'm nearly 50, don't be like this.

If I were in my 20s, I would be more confident.

Same here. If I were just ten years younger...

But it's a stretch. My body is almost capable of predicting the weather.

It's like the weather forecast.

And because of that, I said I wanted to be with ones who could work hard.

So, as soon as I saw you,

I was a little concerned to start with...

- I mean, in terms of capability. - We're in trouble. What do we do?

Honestly, we just cheer for the players when there's a big game...

without knowing the rules.

We shout when goals are made and groan when the players get hurt.

- That's all we do. - That's so right.

I like watching but have never tried...

I've never even imagined that I'd play soccer in my life.

Same here. I've really never played soccer,

so I have absolutely no confidence.

- I've only ever dated a soccer player, - Right!

- but I've never played... - I know you dated one.

It feels much better to hear you own up and say it yourself.

- You know who we're talking about, right? - Of course.

It's so far in the past.

- So I've watched a lot of games... - Yes.

but have never played. So I have so little confidence.

But, having thought about it,

the last time I worked hard on something with a group of people...

- was 20 years ago. - Right.

So I hope that through this, I can reminisce on those past days.

- Like in our girl group days... - Yes.

and the teamwork we had.

- Yes, exactly. - Right.

- We did so much of that. - I wanted to feel that again.

- Well done. - Thanks.

That's right. We were all part of a group in the past!

But those of us who were dancers...

- have good reflexes. - Exactly.

That definitely comes from dancing.

Even though we've aged,

compared to other people, we still have that instinct...

and faster reflexes.

The only exercise I do is breathing.

Like aerobic exercises?

No.

I just don't like moving my body, so I just sit still.

- I'm the same. Doesn't life lack energy? - Yes.

- And... - Honestly, I lack so much energy.

That's so sad!

And I had a muscular strength test on my legs.

I have the legs of a 55-year-old.

So...

- Is there a test for that? - when they said my leg strength...

was of a 55-year-old, I wondered if I could even play soccer.

I thought I might be a massive burden on the team.

So I thought it might be upsetting.

- We all have that drive to win too. - We do.

- We want to do well in what we're doing. - Exactly.

And I thought I wouldn't be able to live up to that.

But I've been doing IVF treatment for a long time...

(IVF?)

After the call for this show came through...

I'm not even sure if I should be talking about this.

I had a consultation with my doctor.

I told the doctor about this show and that I was not sure...

if I should be going through with IVF at this time.

And she said that spending this time focusing on exercising...

and gaining strength to try next year...

would not leave it too late, so I shouldn't worry.

She told me many times that I wasn't exercising enough.

She said if I did this program and succeeded in the IVF next year,

it would be thanks to this show.

We really were laughing and talking about it.

Yes, so I thought,

"Should I give it a try?"

And I got a call today as well...

that two of the harvested eggs were viable.

But I think I'll have to keep doing the harvesting...

while playing soccer.

(We hope a baby comes to you like fate, just as soccer did.)

"Should I build up my strength through this..."

"and try again later?" Once I made a decision on that,

I agreed to give it a shot.

You should work together with her...

- I know all about your lacking energy. - Right?

It's serious.

- You want to do absolutely nothing. - Exactly.

You just want to be one with your bed.

Is there anyone here who isn't afraid of balls?

They're scary.

I'm scared of balls too.

I'm even scared of the small sacks filled with sand.

But soccer balls are massive!

We should pick a tall one for the goalkeeper, right?

It's usually someone who's tall...

- or nimble. - Right? They need to be fast.

Who's not afraid of balls and can quickly move from side to side.

- You... - Yes.

On your applications, what did you write as your desired position?

I wrote striker or goalkeeper.

- Really? - You wrote goalkeeper?

- You look suited for it. - Yes, I wrote it.

(Welcoming)

That's such a relief!

- Amazing! - I wrote it.

- What a relief! - What was your reason?

Because I wanted to either shoot or block goals.

She lives an all-or-nothing life.

- "All or nothing." - Right?

But you're so cool.

I think you'll play well.

I applied for a midfielder position.

- Middle fielder? - Yes, midfielder.

It's because I don't have an offensive tendency,

and I would feel too much pressure as the goalkeeper.

So I wanted to be able to support the better players.

You know the midfielder position is the most difficult one, right?

- Is it? - Yes.

And the busiest.

It's the busiest position that runs around the most.

- Really? - Yes, I also wrote the midfielder.

It's because I was told...

that I would probably be the oldest on the team.

So I thought I'd sacrifice myself and be the midfielder.

- I wrote it with that intention. - I see.

- They move the most. - That's right.

- They have to pass a lot and everything. - Exactly.

That's why I wrote it.

Now, Mi Youn.

"Anything."

(Kan Mi Youn's desired position is "anything.")

(Desired position: Just give me any.)

Your spiritlessness is shown even here.

What do we do? Did you just write "anything"?

Yes. I really had no idea.

So I just thought, "I'll just be anything you ask."

That's so funny.

I can feel myself sagging from listening to you.

It's like we're in the heavy rain.

(Has the weakest link of FC Top Girl already been confirmed?)

"She's in such an idle state and seems so sickly."

"She is not in good health." I think this is an opportunity...

that has come to break those thoughts.

I agree.

You have a distinct character with your softly spoken words.

- You are so soft-spoken. - Not at all.

There are so many versions of myself in me.

I tend to talk this way in times like these...

when it's a little awkward. And there's also the camera.

But if I feel comfortable, I talk weirdly too.

I just have so many different aspects, so I don't really understand me either.

(For Mi Youn, soccer is finding another herself.)

I didn't know you'd be here too,

so I thought I'd be the oldest.

I thought I'd give first to get help later,

so after thinking hard about what I could do,

I wrote the hardest one first.

But we get help from the professionals here.

We hardly know anything for now, even who our coach is.

- Right. - It's just blank.

And we're just beginners that know nothing about soccer.

We're babies.

So we should learn from scratch step by step.

And we'll fix our positions...

- with the coach's advice. - Right.

(It's all up to how they learn and train from now on.)

- But you should cheer up. - Okay.

Whenever I look at you in the middle of talking,

I feel flabby. Mi Youn, keep it up.

Maybe, I should get you some red ginseng or something.

- I already ate it. - Really?

- I did before I got here. - I brought some.

- Good job. - I brought some too.

- You can go first. - It's okay. You can go first.

(The eldest Ri Na gets changed into the uniform first.)

- Why is Yubin so reliable? - Oh, no.

- I have a good feeling. - No. I'm quite a simpleton.

Sorry. We all rely on you when all of us are older than you.

- I'm sorry. Then, she's the youngest. - Yes.

Don't you think of each other just as a teammate...

- regardless of our age? - Right.

With Ri Na's approval,

we should start talking casually.

Would that be okay with you?

Are you listening to us, Ri Na?

- Sure. Go ahead and talk casually. - She gave us a yes.

Let's make it short. What about calling by our back numbers?

You look great in it.

- It's pretty. - Ri Na, you look amazing.

You're like a member of a girl group of the new generation.

You look awesome.

- Do you want to get changed first? - You can go first.

- It doesn't have to be by age. - I know.

I want to pretend I'm young, so go get changed first.

I want to go third.

(But Bada, the second oldest, goes to change first.)

(Unzipping)

(She changes in front of cameras.)

You're changing here?

Mi Youn.

Mi Youn.

- Mi Youn. - I'm just too lazy.

(Her laziness outweighed embarrassment.)

I watched a video on feinting skills. This is how we do.

Like this.

Pretend like you'll dribble this way and roll the ball the other way.

- I think you'll be so good. - You must be a good player.

- Really? - Absolutely.

I'll do my best, then.

- I think you'll be the ace. - Here.

The sluggish girl, come on.

(Sluggish Kan, get up!)

Keep the ball first and fool the opponent with your eyes.

- Then, kick it the other way. - You're good.

- She looks talented in soccer. - Try it.

The sluggish girl, try it.

More than I thought...

That was a powerful one.

I think she'll collapse in the middle of running.

Are you all right?

Turn quickly.

How do we deal with the hustle plays?

- I'm scared. - We should ask Ri Na for help, then.

(It's Ayumi's turn to get changed.)

(She's wearing her pants the wrong way around.)

(The right way to put on the pants)

(She hasn't noticed it yet.)

(Mi Youn's flabby moan)

You're so flexible.

(Ri Na is the best dancer, indeed.)

(This is the farthest she can go.)

Your body is really flexible.

I was an athlete when I was in elementary school.

I'd stretch my legs like this back then, and I still can do it now.

- Isn't it interesting? - Even if you don't usually do it?

I don't. I hardly do it.

I'm just like you. I feel lethargic at home.

- All I do is breathe. - Me too. I just breathe.

You should work out with your flexible body.

It hurts as I haven't done it for a long time.

(It's painful.)

I wonder who will be our coach.

Me too. I'm dying to know.

I just hope that it's someone who can coach us well.

- I just hope he's not a scary coach. - Right.

(How will FC Top Girl play in real games?)

(Finally, the debut matches of the second season begin!)

(FC Top Girl, a team with the players who used to be girl group members)

(FC Wonder Woman, the one and only team with different colors)

(Once they get on something, they never let it go.)

(The ferocious squad, FC Anaconda)

(Sports majors?)

(Soccer professionals?)

(What is it they need now?)

(Impress and overwhelm the other teams!)

(They show compelling rap skills,)

(and these girls respond with a perfect group dance.)

(And...)

(a new coach on "Shooting Stars"!)

(The last warrior of the 2002 World Cup)

I'm a fully prepared man and coach.

(The appearance of a new coach already bothers Leeddink.)

(Passionate and enthusiastic soccer...)

(you can only watch in debut matches.)

(New season...)

(and new history)
