'Human Victory' Shin Young-rok and Yoo Yeon-soo returned to the ground. Fans filling the stadium, K-League seniors and juniors, and Tottenham players all applauded with a warm round of applause.

On the 31st, one game of the Coupang Play Series between Tottenham and Team K League is being held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

A special seat was set up before the game. Shin Young-rok, who collapsed during the game, and Yoo Yeon-soo, who collapsed due to a drunk driving traffic accident, appeared on the ground. Yoo Yeon-soo took a wheelchair, and Shin Young-rok took one step at a time with the help of his surroundings. Fans applauded for the two players.

Yoo Yeon-soo stood in front of the goalpost for the first time in a long time. Although the height was slightly lower than before, it remained strong. Shin Young-rok's walking speed was somewhat slow, but he still felt pressure. The scene where Shin Young-rok kicked the ball and Yoo Yeon-soo blocked it, K-League players stood one step back and applauded with respect. Tottenham players also stood two steps back and said 'Respect' A bright smile spread on the faces of Shin Young-rok and Yoo Yeon-soo after the celebration.

The game began in a warm atmosphere. Expectations exploded. As Son Heung-min stepped on the Korean soil with his teammates for the first time in two years, fans' interest was hot. Eventually, Coupang Play declared a strong response to fraudulent transactions such as resale and transfer of tickets for this series. Coupang Play has only made mobile reservations available to prevent the use of macros. Furthermore, to prevent 'Moving ID', we implemented policies to eradicate ticket fraud, such as randomly solving cancellation tickets with a time difference. In addition, after the sale of tickets, active measures were taken if suspected or confirmed as fraudulent transactions through regular monitoring.

The heat of the game day was unstoppable. Fans visited the stadium despite the heat of the rainy season. Four hours before kick-off, the stadium was crowded. Mapo-gu Office Station and Mangwon Station, near the stadium, were also filled with fans wearing soccer uniforms.
