"Next Legend" continues to play an active role.
The recently released Coupang Play entertainment program "Next Legend" is a real survival where the next generation of prospects who will lead the future of Korean soccer get a chance to advance overseas through fierce competition.
The 15 best players, the main players of "Next Legend," are elite members selected through fierce survival games among the first 44 prominent prospects, and have achieved remarkable growth under the full support of head coach Lee Young-pyo and mentor Gareth Bale. As a result, it proved its European stage potential with a 2-2 draw in the warm-up match against the prestigious British club Sunderland AFC youth team.
Won Tae-jin, Lim Hyun-seok, Kim Eun-sung, Lee Jae-hyung, Lee Hyo-bin, and Kang Dong-hwi are consecutive players on the best list, performing remarkably from the beginning. In particular, Won Tae-jin, a former member of the "Gifted Discovery Team," scored the first goal in the match against Sunderland and played an active role in "all-kill" the best in the warm-up match. Kim Eun-sung, who scored the only goal in the match against Brazil, showed his outstanding presence by scoring the first goal in the civil war with his natural sense of goal. Lee Jae-hyung was praised as "the left foot is like Gareth Bale," and Lee Hyo-bin was praised by Bale as "the best player" and became a key player.
The narrative of the players who wrote the drama of reversal is also drawing attention. Lee Eun-ho, who overcame the sadness of independents and earned the modifier "Korea Lamin Yamal" with instinctive dribbling, Lee Bum-sung, who was selected as one of the "Team Young-pyo" and goalkeeper Kim Chan-young, who stood out with overwhelming physicality and skills, are showing their unique presence in each position.
Jung Taek-hyun, Oh Chang-hwan, Lee Ye-jun, Seo Hyun-woo, Noh Jun-hyung, and Park Gun-min are the players who have completed a reversal narrative by achieving rapid growth even in the crisis. Jung Taek-hyun, the "No. 1 in the school," led the team to victory in the elimination match, and Oh Chang-hwan is the main character who gave the "Team Vale" a 3-0 victory. Lee Ye-joon, who survived as a wild card, emerged as a big prospect as he was selected as the "Best 11 in the Civil War" and the "Tottenham Best 3" in a row.
Seo Hyun-woo and Noh Jun-hyung, who wrote the miracle of the consolation match, also emerged as the main characters of the reversal drama, being called side by side in the "Sunderland Best 3" in London. Park Gun-min, who joined unanimously, also scored in the warm-up match, showing the power of the "standby star" player. The process of 15 prospects being reborn as "legend" through real-world experience foreshadows a brilliant future for Korean soccer beyond simple survival.
Meanwhile, episode 9 of "Next Legend" will be released at 4 p.m. on the 20th.
