A living legend of basketball, Seo Jang-hoon has returned to the basketball court.
Seo Jang-hoon, a "national treasure-level center" who left his mark on Korea's basketball history, is active as a coach on SBS's new variety show "Hot-blooded Basketball Team," and has been drawing hot attention since the first broadcast.
The SBS program 'Hot-blooded Basketball Team,' which premiered on the 29th (Sat), is a show that depicts the challenge of the team "Rising Eagles," made up of entertainment industry stars personally selected by basketball legends Seo Jang-hoon and Jeon Tae-poong, as they aim to conquer Asian basketball.
In the first episode, the "Rising Eagles" held their founding ceremony and their historic first practice. Each time hidden basketball talents from across the entertainment industry were revealed, Seo Jang-hoon accurately assessed the players' abilities from their shooting form and movements alone, immediately pointing out areas to improve and demonstrating analysis befitting a legend.
About Choi Min-ho, who became the captain of the "Rising Eagles," he evaluated him as "a core asset with both stamina and skills," expressing high expectations, and he also noted the high potential of key members such as all-rounder Jung Jin-woon, mentioning the players' future growth possibilities.
He added that, given the "Rising Eagles" team consists of a select 10 players, "If someone gets injured there won't be enough substitutes, so if someone gets hurt Coach Jeon Tae-poong may have to play," repeatedly emphasizing injury prevention to the players, and in the subsequent 5-on-5 internal scrimmage he showed an unusual level of focus on the players, raising viewer engagement.
In this way, "Hot-blooded Basketball Team" challenges amateur top club teams in a "dojang-kkaegi" run, and ultimately aims to "conquer Asia." Interest is growing in what kind of stories Korea's basketball legend Seo Jang-hoon will create as he transforms into a coach.
Meanwhile, SBS's "Hot-blooded Basketball Team," featuring Seo Jang-hoon, airs every Saturday at 5 p.m.
