Choi Yong-soo cited the growth of youth players and communication with the MZ generation as the biggest harvest from Shooting Star.

On the morning of the 13th, an interview with Coupang Play Entertainment 'Shooting Star' was held somewhere in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Producer Choi Yong-soo and producer Cho Hyo-jin, who produced the program, attended the meeting to tell stories about the program.

Coupang Play Entertainment 'Shooting Star' is a growing soccer entertainment show in which retired legendary players gather as a team with general manager Park Ji-sung and manager Choi Yong-soo to try to play in the K League once again. Upon its first release, it has gained popularity through word of mouth centering on 'Chukdeok' and is drawing attention with 'Jungkkeu' entertainment that makes viewers' hearts hot.




Manager Choi Yong-soo said, `In the past, replacement players felt alienated, but in this program, we tried to use all players evenly"It seems like everyone has experienced happy soccer, whether they did it well or not. The way the team's members share their passion and sweat is the true charm of soccer."

He is also honest about his difficulties in communicating with MZ generation players. Coach Choi said, `When I talk to young players, they are very different from the past. His expression is bold and confident. "If I don't change, I've come to think about how to communicate with this generation. As a coach, I have to think about the whole team, but I wanted the players to play happily and happily."




It was impressive that the players, who had to survive under competition and oppression since they were young, found the true joy of soccer and created synergy on this stage," he added, showing his affection for the program.

Coupang Play Entertainment 'Shooting Star' will be released every Friday at 8 p.m.
