'Ahn Jung-hwan,' a former South Korean national soccer team player and key figure in the '2002 World Cup Quarterfinal Myth,' revealed his reasons for appearing on 'TikitaKa Show.'

'On the morning of the 21st, a production announcement for TikTok's long-form original variety program 'TikitiKi TakataKa TalkTalk Show' (hereinafter 'TikitaKa Show') was held at The Link Seoul Hotel in Sinlim-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. Yoon Cheol, Head of News & Sports at TikTok Korea, director Kim Dong-wook PD, and main MCs Ahn Jung-hwan, DinDin, and Lee Eun-ji attended the event.

'TikitaKa Show' is TikTok's first original variety program produced in-house in Korea and the country's first long-form variety content. It is a battle-style talk variety program that can be enjoyed by both those well-versed in soccer and those unfamiliar with the sport.

'On this day, Ahn Jung-hwan began by saying, "When I received the proposal to appear on TikTok's first long-form program, I felt quite burdened. And because it is a talk show about soccer, the burden was even greater."'

'He continued, "To be honest, interest in Korean soccer has dropped significantly these days. Therefore, I joined this project with the determination that as a soccer professional, I must do my part to help soccer regain popularity and attract attention through 'TikitaKa Show.'"

'He added, "I am doing my best to ensure that not only soccer but also many other interesting programs can emerge on TikTok."'

'TikitaKa Show' will stream every Monday and Thursday at 8 p.m. on the TikTok Korea account starting on the 25th, consisting of a total of 12 episodes.
