The variety show of volleyball emperor Kim Yeon-koung is gone and the 'Spike War' to continue the volleyball boom is coming.
Today (30th) the first broadcast of MBN's new variety show 'Spike War' is a program that captures the stars' volleyball war played on an 18X9m court. In 'Spike War,' volleyball legends Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik, and Kim Yo-han form coed celebrity volleyball teams and embark on a journey of challenges to build their skills. Ahead of the first broadcast, we looked at the points to watch.
■ V-리그 legend Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik and Kim Yo-han create the country's first "coed celebrity volleyball team"
Representing Korea's volleyball world, "world star" Kim Se-jin becomes director general, "brown bomber" Shin Jin-sik and "volleyball crown prince" Kim Yo-han become coaches, and they form a coed celebrity volleyball team that has never existed before. The three legends, who returned to the court to revive volleyball, will create one volleyball team together by taking part in every process from player selection to development, training and matches. The anticipation grows over what kind of team will be formed amid the legends' synergy.
■ A chaotic volleyball challenge by various stars, a growth narrative of becoming "true to volleyball"
Led by team captain Lee Soo-keun and Boom, actors Seong Hoon and Song Jin-woo, singers Dennyan, Narsha, Shin Sung, Ahn Seong-hoon, Song Min-joon, Kael, comedian Kim Min-kyung, dancer Kani, chef Austin Kang, former national athletes basketball Woo Ji-won, skeleton Yoon Sung-bin, baseball Lee Dae-hyung, badminton Lee Yong-dae, fencing Kim Jun-ho, and former pro volleyball player actress Si Eun-mi and model Lee Yoo-an all come together through volleyball. Beginners who at first made clumsy receives and awkward spikes become true to volleyball as they repeat training and matches. Their growth into an increasingly complete team will simultaneously provide viewers with entertainment and support.
■ Beyond watchability, volleyball that makes you want to play it yourself, spreading the "real charm of volleyball" that anyone can easily enjoy
Volleyball is a sport that is much more enjoyable to play than to watch. 'Spike War' will vividly convey the charm of volleyball that anyone can challenge. It captures volleyball's appeal in ways that are not limited to professional athletes, enabling those who are experiencing volleyball for the first time to follow along easily and enjoyably. The stars experience volleyball in diverse ways and, through matches, awaken the competitive spirit sleeping in their chests. This provides both the tension of sports and the fun of variety shows. Expectation grows for 'Spike War,' which will spread the real charm of volleyball and lead a volleyball revival.
■ A national competition against a Japanese volleyball team led by Japanese volleyball legend "Nakagaichi Yuichi"
The ultimate goal of 'Spike War' is to determine the one team that will face the Japanese volleyball team led by Japanese volleyball legend Nakagaichi Yuichi. Players train in sweat for the desire to win and the fated rivalry match. The biggest point to watch is how the newly formed 'Spike War' team will build its skills and come to face the Japanese team. First broadcast tonight at 9:30 p.m.<
