Coupang Play has confirmed production of the large-scale global soccer survival variety show "Next Legend." "Next Legend" is a real survival growth story in which next-generation prospects who will lead the future of Korean soccer challenge themselves with the goal of joining their dream league, the Premier League (EPL).
Amid fierce competition unfolding between Korea and the United Kingdom, youth players begin a journey to survive through training and evaluation. This survival contest, which puts not only skill but also mentality and teamwork to the test, is a real "entry war" fought over a single opportunity.
National team legend Lee Young-pyo and world-class star Gareth Bale participate directly and serve as mentors guiding the players' development. Lee Young-pyo, as Korea's top fullback, imparts his experience and know-how, and Gareth Bale draws on his careers at Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid to present standards for the global stage.
Challenge, competition, growth and even moments of elimination. The real survival for a single opportunity, Coupang Play's variety show "Next Legend," will be released in the first half of 2026.
