During the final match that ignited the fighting spirit of the average 41.4-year-old veteran "Volunteer," everyone, including Lee Chan-won, becomes teary-eyed.
The KBS2 program "Volunteer," airing tonight (24th) at 10:40 p.m., captures the attention with the "Bluetooth chemistry" between Lee Chan-won, born in '96, and Lee Young-pyo, who entered university in '96.
Lee Young-pyo showcases his signature "clumsy dribble" in a revenge match against his arch-rival Kimpo Zest, where pride is on the line. Just as everyone was about to cheer, Lee Young-pyo, whose legs gave out, unexpectedly falls forward and suffers a "humiliating prostration." Lee Chan-won, watching from the commentary booth, expresses his regret over the passage of time, saying, "Lee Young-pyo from '96... I was born in '96..." Additionally, Lee Chan-won springs up and clenches his fists, sending heartfelt cheers before the intense battle.
Meanwhile, tonight's broadcast marks the conclusion of the nationwide futsal championship of "Volunteer." There are high expectations for whether the retired football legends known as "Volunteer" can achieve a historic moment of winning three consecutive futsal matches and a national title. In particular, the average 41.4-year-old veteran "Volunteer" provides emotional moments that transcend time through their indomitable spirit. Returning from a calf injury, Baek Ji-hoon, showing unwavering will despite a cracked ankle, Jo Won-hee, and Kim Dong-cheol, who is covered in bruises and wounds from fierce physical confrontations, all unite to present a tearful scene to the viewers.
In the midst of this, Lee Young-pyo discreetly whispers to the production team with 6 minutes left in the second half of the final match, "I will win somehow, so don't worry and just wait a little longer." In a critical moment where no one can guarantee the outcome, Lee Young-pyo confidently asserts, "We have something the opponent lacks," with the reason for his confidence and the result of the match revealed on Saturday, 10:40 p.m. on KBS2's "Volunteer."
