'Korea men's volleyball legend' Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik, Kim Yo-han are founding a celebrity volleyball team.
A sports variety show that will carry on Korea's volleyball boom is coming to viewers. MBN is launching a new sports variety show 'Spike War.' 'Spike War' is expected to capture the stars' volleyball battles on an 18X9m court. The ultimate goal is a Korea-Japan match. After a six-month preparation period, the first broadcast is set for 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30.
At the same time, the strong-spike-level casting to lead 'Spike War' was also revealed. Volleyball legends Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik, and Kim Yo-han have joined forces to create Korea's first celebrity volleyball team. The volleyball team will operate as a mixed men and women team. 'World star' Kim Se-jin, who led the heyday of men's volleyball in the 1990s, will serve as director general and lead the players. Shin Jin-sik, who swept the court earning nicknames 'brown bomber' and 'scoring machine,' and Kim Yo-han, loved by volleyball fans and called the 'prince of volleyball,' will serve as coaches and form their respective teams.
Legends who represented the V-League, Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik, and Kim Yo-han, return to the court not as players but as director general and coaches, adding significance. 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of professional volleyball, and the recent public enthusiasm for volleyball is expected to continue with 'Spike War.' Shin Jin-sik and Kim Yo-han, who will serve as the commanders of each team, will search the entertainment industry for hidden talents with volleyball ability, drawing attention to what star players may emerge.
In addition, volleyball legends will appear en masse as special instructors, and with top-tier coaching they are expected to strengthen the celebrity volleyball team's capabilities. Which legends will appear is also a point of interest.
MCs Lee Soo-keun and Boom will serve as the captains of each team, using their unique affability and hosting skills to boost the players' morale. Anticipation is rising for the birth of a sports variety show that fans who already love volleyball and viewers who don't know much about volleyball can enjoy together.
The volleyball legends who will heat the court once again are set to make their move, and MBN's 'Spike War,' which heralds the founding of a celebrity volleyball team, will premiere at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30.
