It's the third preliminary round.
It's Da Young of WJSN versus Nam Tae Hyun of SOUTH CLUB.
In Chuseok Special last year,
Da Young was eliminated in the preliminary round.
So she practiced so much this time.
Last time,
I lacked the skill to control the horse.
So when I practiced this time,
I focused on controlling the horse.
(Muffet won't obey Da Young's signal.)
My goodness.
Let's go. My goodness.
He kept trembling and couldn't get close to the wall.
I was disappointed.
I had no choice,
but to whip him and push him hard.
(Da Young ended up crying in disappointment.)
- Okay. - I don't want to hit you.
- Why do you make me hit you? - Okay. I won't hit him.
It's not scary anymore, is it? Come here.
(She runs a course with the horse to adjust to the arena.)
Come here. It's not scary.
Since it was so scared of the wall,
I used a carrot to help it acknowledge...
that the space was safe and practiced.
You can do it well. It's all right.
Meanwhile, Nam Tae Hyun of SOUTH CLUB...
first entered in Idol Star Athletics Championships.
He said his appearance in the Championships would be surprising...
and picked it as the part we should focus.
We came earlier and saw how they practiced,
- and it was amazing. - I was surprised.
I once tried riding the horse Tan.
- Did you do it yourself? - Yes, I did.
It's not a horse that's easy to control.
Although it's Tae Hyun's first time in the Championships,
- I saw him warming up naturally. - Yes.
I look forward to the outcome of the event.
So it's been a long time for you to see Tan.
- That's right. - I see.
I think both players are ready.
It's Da Young of WJSN...
- and Nam Tae Hyun of SOUTH CLUB. - Right.
Now, two players' event starts.
Da Young is in Course A...
and Tae Hyun is in Course B.
The game began.
Both players run Course A composedly...
while communing with the horses.
- All right. - Yes. They're passing the course.
I don't think their points were deducted.
Would the player with experience win...
- Right. - or a new player win?
(Tae Hyun chases Da Young closely.)
Tae Hyun's horse keeps moving.
That horse is difficult to handle.
Tae Hyun is doing well calmly.
As you see, Tae Hyun has a good posture.
- It's the hardest Course C. - Course C.
In the hardest Course C...
I don't think Da Young's points were deducted.
I see Tae Hyun's points were not deducted either.
Da Young really improved so much.
That's what I'm saying.
(Let's go!)
(She only needs to put on the basket.)
She needs to put on the ping pong balls now.
(She almost touches it.)
(She's having a hard time as Muffet is scared of the table.)
(Tae Hyun has a chance to turn the game around.)
Tae Hyun's horse...
(Ping pong balls falling)
He dropped ping pong balls.
He kept dropping ping pong balls.
(He lost 4 points dropping 4 ping pong balls.)
- Oh, my. - Oh, boy.
(Worried)
- It's okay to do it slowly. - That's right.
They have a lot of time.
If you're nervous, it's different from your practice.
- That's right. - If you feel nervous,
you go, "Who am I? Where am I?"
- That's what you do. - Exactly.
I guess that's why he made such mistakes.
(Da Young gains the lead one course ahead.)
(Glancing)
(She enters Course F while checking the other player's location.)
(Tae Hyun leaves Course E now.)
(Da Young leaves Course F while Tae Hyun enters it.)
(Da Young enters Course G, the last one in no time.)
- Da Young moves... - Right.
- to Course G. - She finished it.
She completely finished Course G.
Tae Hyun completely finishes Course G too.
Tae Hyun also reaches the finish line...
and Da Young and Tae Hyun...
finish the game.
I think Da Young won't have any deductions.
What do you think about the game?
I guess Tae Hyun dropped ping pong balls.
I can't see exactly how many he dropped.
I think Da Young doesn't lose a lot of points,
but referees are looking with a hawkish eye.
So we need to see how the deduction turns out.
Actually, Da Young, at the Chuseok Special,
said she felt sorry for losing points right after the game began.
Today, I think she rode the horse nicely...
in a composed manner.
- That's right. - Yes.
Please show the result!
The result is...
Da Young won.
- Da Young moves to the semifinals. - Right.
Da Young will advance to the semifinals.
Da Young is complimenting the horse now.
- Da Young did a good job too. - Of course.
Tae Hyun can prepare some more...
and show a better performance in the next championships.
So, the third event of preliminaries in Horseback Riding,
Da Young of WJSN...
versus Tae Hyun of SOUTH CLUB...
ends as Da Young takes the win.
Mr. Hwang once rode...
- Tae Hyun's horse, Tan. - Oh, boy. Right.
So he looked at it affectionately, but unfortunately...
I think we need to have a face-to-face talk later.
It's you saw Tan after a long time,
- please send a video letter. - Please send a video letter.
Tan, how are you doing?
(Tan, how are you doing?)
You should take care although I'm not with you.
What was Tan's favorite food?
His meal, dry grass.
- Dry grass. - Dry grass.
Eat a lot of grass and don't get ill. I hope you stay healthy.
Tan.
(Tan)
Thank you for working with me.
I wish you meet a jockey who can win for the next championships...
and achieve a good outcome.
I hope you eat well and take care.
(Da Young wins.)
(Da Young of WJSN advances to semifinals.)
(Junji and Kenta wait for their game.)
(Nervous)
Do you think you're good?
I will win a medal.
William. We can do it.
We can do well.
Among the players,
I guess I had the best chemistry with my horse.
William did as I said,
and I felt we understood each other.
Let's do it well.
(Can they really do it well?)
It's the fourth game in the preliminaries.
Junji of OnlyOneOf...
and Kenta of JBJ95 will compete.
It's Junji's first participation in the Idol Star Championships.
He chose Horseback Riding as his first event.
- I envy him. - It must have been difficult.
- Right. - But he requested it himself.
- You can try it, Seunghee. - I think I need to ask my agency.
To your agency? You can just say it here.
I really want to try horseback riding.
I'll do my best. Thank you.
If you do it, I'll give you some more help.
You're being biased.
- Let's keep this a secret. - Please edit this part.
You can edit it yourself.
Anyway, both the players are on the starting point.
- I was surprised to see Junji. - Why?
- He looked like a nobleman. - Right.
- It feels he came out of a cartoon. - Yes.
His hair color matches with the horse.
- They have similar hairstyle. - Yes.
Junji looks so nice.
I guess he did it to work in harmony with the horse.
That's possible.
Also, Kenta...
- has experience. - That's right.
Therefore, I expect this game...
will be a thrilling one.
The fourth game in the quarterfinals starts now.
The buzzer sounded.
(They start.)
I hope players acknowledge they have enough time...
and proceed with the game calmly.
They're passing Course A now.
Junji is taking the lead a little bit...
and it seems that he's conscious of Kenta.
Both players are calm now.
He's done with Course A.
They feel a little bit different from the former players.
I expect both players finish the game without losing a point.
There was no player who didn't lose a point yet.
- There wasn't. - You're right.
I hope they show a game without losing a point.
It's the hardest Course C.
The hardest Course C. I'll listen whether it sounds.
Both players didn't make a sound.
- It was neat. - That was nice.
It's a close match. It's close.
In Course D, they need to deliver the ping pong balls.
(Kenta perfectly makes it.)
Kenta is good.
Oh, my. He dropped it.
Taking the basket doesn't look easy.
Junji got the basket.
He goes composedly.
- He dropped the ping pong balls. - He dropped the ping pong balls.
He dropped a ping pong ball.
I actually can't see well how many he dropped.
Kenta is moving to Course E now.
He's moving faster than Junji now,
but we never know. We can't be sure about this game.
Junji's horse ate the plant.
- It's eating that plant. - Yes. It's eating that plant.
- It actually ate its staple food. - That's right.
Let's say a man is passing it by and there's sweet and sour pork.
- Let's say there's fried chicken. - That won't be easy.
- I'll pick it up and eat it. - Are you really...
- going to eat it? - I really am going to do so.
- We can consider it to be the same. - That's right.
- Since a horse is an herbivore, - Yes.
that's a natural feature.
In the meantime...
In the meantime,
(Surprised)
Kenta looks...
He looks very natural.
(Kenta finishes Course G perfectly.)
- That was neat. - He's so good.
(He's good.)
Kenta...
came in nicely at the end.
Kenta finished at 86 seconds.
He finished the game at 86 seconds.
But Junji needs to finish the game well to the end.
Right. Although entering 1.25 seconds before the end,
- but Arang took the win. - That's right.
So if he proceeds the game calmly to the end,
you never can predict the result.
- It was Hye Bin. - It was Hye Bin.
I'm sorry. It was Hye Bin.
(That was me!)
I'll correct it. I'm sorry.
It's Course G, the last one.
The bar fell down.
(Junji lost 3 points in Course G.)
The bar fell down at the end...
and anyway, Junji also...
- finished the game. - He finished it.
Would Kenta who moved to the semifinals...
at the Chuseok Special win?
Or would Junji who participated for the first time win?
Please show us the result.
Yes.
Kenta wins the game.
It's the first time he won the game.
He won the game.
He's the best.
Seeing the players who move to semifinals,
they're the players who entered the Chuseok Special last year.
It's also because they communed with the horses...
that they achieved good results, I think.
- You're right. - Yes.
If they participate after more experience,
they can achieve better results than players who entered before.
You think it's late, but you can begin preparing it now.
- That's right. - You can start now.
I really want to keep doing it...
because I got attached to the horse.
I grew so much affection...
that I got to think, "I want to meet the horse tomorrow."
Kenta moves to the semifinals from the fourth game...
and we'll come back with the semifinals after a while.
(Horseback Riding, Semifinals)
It's 2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships,
and you're watching Horseback Riding.
The semifinals will start now.
The semifinals lasted for 130 seconds before,
and the time limit is reduced to 100 seconds now.
It's reduced to 100 seconds.
- I think that's enough time. - Is that so?
- They're improving so much. - That's right.
They're making development, so...
it can be reduced to 90 seconds and 80 seconds later...
and even if we add a course with a high level of difficulty,
they would be able to finish it without difficulty.
So I think they're enough able to do it in 100 seconds now.
That's right. In the first game of the semifinals,
Juhaknyeon and Hye Bin will compete.
In the second game, Da Young and Kenta will compete.
The first game in the semifinals,
the match between Juhaknyeon and Hye Bin will start.
They look more relaxed than in the quarterfinals.
- That's right. - The footsteps look very light.
The name of Juhaknyeon's horse is Saenggang...
and the name of Hye Bin's horse is Duke.
- Duke. - Right.
Juhaknyeon is a medalist.
That's right.
(Juhaknyeon touched the bars in Course C and Course G earlier.)
(Juhaknyeon made mistakes in preliminaries.)
This is Course G, the last one.
He dropped two bars.
When I practiced with the bars last time,
all of them fell every time.
I only thought, "I shouldn't lose a point."
Since Hye Bin participated with the same horse again,
she'd have more advantage, I think.
(She dropped 2 balls and arrived at the finish line late.)
(But Hye Bin recorded the highest score of 98 points.)
Since it's my second time,
I think I need to play more composedly than I did before.
Their advantages are distinct.
You never know what will happen.
That's right.
Then, with the buzzer,
the first game of the semifinals starts.
(Which player would move to the final round?)
(You can do it.)
- The buzz sounds. - They start.
(Two players start at the same time.)
It began.
Hye Bin!
The semifinals decide the color of the medal.
That's right. The semifinals started.
It's Course A.
Both players are passing it composedly.
That's right. They're players with experience.
They know going fast now...
doesn't mean doing well.
They exactly know they need to finish it in 100 seconds...
- and without reduced points. - Right.
Their speed is similar.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Juhaknyeon of Course E starts first.
- They're good. They're both cool. - They're good.
It's the hardest Course C. It's Course C.
It's the hardest Course C.
He's certainly different from the preliminaries. He's calmer,
- and he controls the horse. - He looks experienced.
- Right.
(Hye Bin passes without losing a point.)
It's Course D now.
- Here... - Here, Hye Bin...
- missed it. - Yes.
It's Course D now.
- Here... - Here, Hye Bin...
- missed it. - Yes.
She's surprised.
It's fine. Do it slowly.
Duke...
- feels sensitive in Course D. - Yes.
(Hye Bin succeeded in taking the item, but dropped the balls.)
We need to lower down our voice not to surprise the horse.
She dropped the ping pong balls.
(She lost 10 points.)
(Juhaknyeon finishes Course D without losing a point.)
Although Hye Bin also took some time here earlier,
- she led the horse well composedly. - That's right.
I wonder what will happen.
It is quite difficult here.
(Hye Bin finished Course D although she lost points.)
(Juhaknyeon enters Course E first.)
(Hye Bin needs to make up her mistake in Course D.)
(She enters Course E too.)
Don't get far behind. There you go.
(Hye Bin needs to chase Juhaknyeon closely.)
Juhaknyeon is leaving Course E now.
We need to see the outcome to find out...
whether Juhaknyeon lost a point in Course E.
Juhaknyeon is entering Course F now.
Juhaknyeon looks relaxed.
It's been about 85 seconds since the game started.
He might run out of time a little bit. He needs to hurry.
Only about 10 seconds are left.
(Hye Bin is also running out of time.)
- Hye Bin needs to hurry. - No running.
(Juhaknyeon arrives at Course G, the last one.)
(He dropped the bar...)
(and lost points in the preliminaries.)
Juhaknyeon enters Course G, the last one.
- 10, 9, 8... - It's Course G.
He finished it.
Hye Bin enters Course G, the last one.
- She didn't drop the bar. - It's perfect.
- Only 5 seconds are left. - 96 seconds.
That's good.
(Can they arrive within the time limit?)
- 4, 3, - Oh, my.
They came in the finish line.
That's right.
Hye Bin also came in.
- Juhaknyeon came in first. - Yes.
- Hye Bin came in later. - Right.
What's the result of the deducted points?
I wonder how they're graded.
Being a medalist,
Juhaknyeon showed such a neat performance.
(Juhaknyeon showed a perfect harmony with the horse.)
- That's right. - Hye Bin lost...
- some points with ping pong balls. - Right.
She also took some time.
So we need to check about the time again.
Hye Bin continues her struggle with the time...
again in the semifinals.
That's right.
- The score sheets are coming. - That's right.
- The result is here. - Here's the result.
Let's see the result.
(Surprised)
Really?
(What happened?)
The first game of the semifinals...
between Juhaknyeon and Hye Bin. Please show us...
the result!
Juhaknyeon wins.
(Juhaknyeon moves to the final round.)
From the first game of the semifinals,
he takes the win.
The reason we were surprised...
was that Juhaknyeon didn't lose a point.
- He got 100 points. - 100 points.
There was no deducted point.
You can express it as...
- he played with the game. - He shook it.
So, the first game of the semifinals...
between Juhaknyeon and Hye Bin...
ends as Juhaknyeon takes the win...
and moves to the final round.
(Juhaknyeon moves to the final round.)
Now, it's the second game of the semifinals...
between Da Young and Kenta.
In the quarterfinals, they both got 95 points, surprisingly.
And both of them received a high score.
(Competition between players with a high score.)
Then how they manage the time would matter the most.
I guess that would matter the most.
Let's do this well.
Let's do this well. We can do it.
Let's make it.
(Trust me.)
Who will be the last one to move to the finals?
Let's watch it together.
- The starting buzzer sounds. - The buzzer sounds.
It's Da Young versus Kenta.
They move in Course A composedly.
Da Young is doing great.
They move in Course A composedly.
(Da Young moves fast from the beginning.)
She seems to be in a hurry, different from the quarterfinals.
- Yes. Right. - She knows the time is reduced,
so she's in a hurry.
She moves well calmly.
Da Young is a little bit faster.
Now, Kenta...
needs to consider that he should finish in 100 seconds.
She's really good.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Da Young is entering Course C now.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Go.
Kenta also enters Course C.
- They improved more. - They improved even more.
They improved more.
Kenta finished Course C nicely.
I certainly said it's highly likely they lose points in Course C.
She took the ping pong balls.
I certainly said it's highly likely they lose points in Course C.
(She caught the basket while the horse was running.)
- Da Young put it all right. - That's right.
Da Young is good.
- Da Young put it all right. - That's right.
It seems that Kenta didn't lose a point so far.
(Meanwhile, Da Young enters Course E.)
He didn't. We can consider that he didn't so far.
It's Course E. They have enough time.
Da Young has two courses left.
Kenta has three courses left.
I think Da Young is very determined to win.
Yes. Da Young is taking the lead anyway.
- Yes. - Right.
(Kenta finishes Course E now.)
- Yes. - Right.
Since it seems she hasn't lost a point so far,
she shouldn't lose a point in Course G, the last one.
- It's Course G. - Yes. She shouldn't lose a point.
She shouldn't lose a point with the hurdles in Course G.
- It's Course G. - Yes. She shouldn't lose a point.
She lost points for three of them.
(Lamenting)
She dropped them.
They fell down, Da Young.
Gosh, Da Young.
She lost points for three of them.
She lost nine points as we see so far.
How would Kenta do here?
He has enough time.
He dropped one at the end.
He has enough time.
He dropped one at the end.
One fell on the ground.
Kenta came in the finish line.
I hate to say this when broadcasting,
but I always get to say it.
You can never predict the result of the game.
Both players finished the game fast.
Both of them came in within 74 seconds.
No. The record of 74 seconds...
is the record of the player who came in first.
- I see. - No one knows...
when the second player came in.
We don't know until we get the result.
Ironically,
from our perspective, the two athletes...
- only lost points in Course G. - Right.
We only noticed...
9 and 3 points deducted.
But six points they lost here...
- is understandable. - Right.
- That might change the result. - Yes.
Also, if Kenta didn't make it in 100 seconds,
Da Young automatically enters the finals.
- That's right. - Right.
Let's see the result of the second semifinal round.
(Kenta didn't make many mistakes.)
(Not Da Young,)
(but Kenta won.)
Kenta won.
How could you! You almost made me happy.
The referee almost made Da Young happy.
- I know. - Seriously.
Kenta scored...
97 points.
Da Young scored 86 points.
Da Young lost...
5 points in Course E.
(She lost 5 points in Course E because she was too fast.)
There's still a match for third place.
According to the result,
Juhaknyeon and Kenta made it to the finals.
The finals will take place soon.
Right now, it's the match for third place.
It's Hye Bin versus Da Young.
The match between Hye Bin and Da Young will now begin.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Da Young's playing again without a break.
- She was waiting there. - She's playing again.
- My goodness. - What's wrong?
He's mad.
(Stomping)
He's getting competitive.
- Look at him. - What's wrong with him?
(Duke's acting weird.)
He's trying to stand up.
Duke was very hungry.
He kept stomping his feet.
Duke and I always practiced...
fast and short.
But today, it was long.
(I'm hungry.)
We were going fine, then he suddenly spun, right?
I wonder how this match will turn out.
Someone will get a bronze medal...
in the match for third place,
- Right. - but someone will only receive...
- a record of fourth place. - Yes.
It can be a very important match.
Then now, the match for third place will begin.
Upon the buzzer...
(Let's do this, Muffet.)
- The match begins. - The buzzer sounded.
They have to make it in 100 seconds.
- Right. - They must keep that in mind.
There's are athletes who couldn't made it in 100 seconds.
It's important to divide the time.
That's right. Right now, Da Young's in the lead.
To make it in 100 seconds,
it's necessary to run like Da Young.
Hye Bin's very good at horseback riding.
But she's too calm.
In 100 seconds...
Da Young...
- made a sound in Course C. - She made a sound in Course C.
(Da Young entered Course C.)
(She smoothly pulled off the curve.)
(She made a mistake in Course C.)
- Da Young made a sound in Course C. - She made a sound in Course C.
- Hye Bin didn't make a sound. - There was no sound.
She completed Course C.
- Hye Bin didn't make a sound. - There was no sound.
She completed Course C.
It's important. They only have 100 seconds.
Hye Bin keeps...
- getting delayed... - Course D is...
- in Course D. - I think...
(Da Young enters Course E. Hye Bin is stuck in Course D.)
Hye Bin lacks the skill to control the horse with one hand.
For the next competition,
she should practice controlling the horse...
with one hand.
But Da Young is...
(One ping pong ball escapes.)
(Da Young enters Course F in no time.)
- She's so fast. - In no time,
she almost finished Course F.
She's running.
He's eating the plants.
Hye Bin's Duke.
(Duke is eating a plant during the competition.)
Hye Bin's Duke.
Duke. Stop eating. We'll give you food later.
(Laughing)
Isn't that artificial?
Hold the horse.
- Duke likes flowers. - Yes.
Duke's finally calm after eating flowers.
Yes.
Did he not like it?
- No, he didn't. - He spat it.
Yes.
That was an artificial flower.
That was an artificial flower!
I think that only made Duke madder.
- Duke is very hungry. - Meanwhile,
(While Duke is eating plants, Da Young enters Course G.)
- Da Young... - It's delicious.
- She's in. - is in.
(But one obstacle fell.)
(Though Da Young made a mistake, she finished the round fast.)
Duke likes flowers.
Hye Bin practiced a lot.
I know it's a shame for Hye Bin.
Right.
She's passing the finish line.
- She passed the finish line. - Hye Bin is in.
We watched the match for third place.
Here's the result.
(Da Young wins the bronze medal.)
So,
- Da Young... - Da Young won the bronze medal.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
She's thanking the horse.
Applause, please.
I'm so happy.
I'd like to honor Muffet.
Next time,
I'll try harder...
and make Muffet win the first place.
I love you, Muffet.
(I love you, Muffet.)
Kenta and Juhaknyeon's final is...
coming up next.
(E-sports)
We're at Ilsan MBC Dream Center.
New Year Special 2020 Idol Star E-sports Championships.
Four teams that made to the semifinals are waiting.
The 1st and 2nd places in the preliminary rounds...
made it to the semifinals.
- It's a single round. - That's right.
Only the winner of a single round makes it to the next round.
If the winner is not determined in 90 minutes,
there will be overtime.
If the winner is still not determined in overtime,
- there will be a penalty shoot-out. - Really?
So you never know.
(Which team will make it to the finals?)
We should listen to...
what athletes have to say.
Let's start with PENTAGON.
Hello. We're PENTAGON.
Let's say you defeated Golden Child and made it to the finals.
Then who would you prefer for the opponent...
between SF9 and the united team?
(Who would they prefer for the final opponent?)
Personally,
I prefer SF9.
You think SF9 is easy?
Because we've won before.
- They've won before. - Right.
That experience would help.
Okay. It's Golden Child next to them.
(Golden Child is 2nd place in Preliminary Group B.)
Ji Beom. You showed fantastic skills earlier.
(While using his skill,)
(he got blocked...)
(and blocked again.)
(That's an unnecessary skill.)
Since I used the skill alone,
that had a negative influence in the team.
I decided to play calmly now.
Something must've happened in the waiting room.
Did your team blame you?
Did something bad happen in the waiting room?
While I was playing the game,
- I got angry for real. - I see.
I almost got mad, but I decided not to get mad at him.
Good. I'll look forward to your play.
SF9 is 2nd place in Preliminary Group A.
Hello.
Sorry to say this,
but according to the commentators,
you're the weakest team.
What's your opinion on that, Inseong?
The commentators are accurate.
We're surprised to make it this far.
But since we did,
we'll enjoy the game.
Let's do this!
Good. Lastly, it's the united team.
(United Team is the strongest front-runner.)
(They advanced to the finals as 1st place in Preliminary Group B.)
As you placed first, you're playing against SF9.
Was that your strategy?
We were only enjoying it.
I see.
I'll look forward to it.
They're the four teams for semifinals.
PENTAGON and Golden Child are...
getting ready for first semifinal round.
The semifinals will now begin.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E02 Part 2 '2020 ISAC New Year Special' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
If they go overtime,
- it might be too hard... - Right.
since they're drawn already.
Although it's only a game,
it's very hard to press the keyboard.
It's about their mental strength.
Here they go.
In one single round game,
I've questioned a head coach before.
"What's important? What's your strategy?"
"You don't need that for a single round game."
"It's all about enthusiasm."
The game is determined...
depending on who's more enthusiastic in the beginning.
I think PENTAGON might have lost it...
since it's been a while they played in Group A.
They're attacking already.
- Shin Won's waiting. - I got it.
Hui!
- Shin Won's waiting. - I got it.
(Will he score upon the start?)
(Will PENTAGON be the first to score?)
- Hui! Goal! - Goal!
(Amazing)
- PENTAGON is good. - They did it again.
Their pass is great.
This time...
Did they practice during the break?
PENTAGON's so strong now.
I liked how they kicked from the side.
- They were calm. - That was clean.
I suddenly find...
- PENTAGON's red uniform scary. - I know.
They're great.
It's necessary for Golden Child...
to score fast as much as they conceded a goal.
(Hui and Shin Won are showing amazing teamwork again.)
- That's it. - That's it.
That's fantastic.
(They're great.)
That's fantastic.
We've forgotten...
Hui!
(That was close.)
They're really good.
I just realized that...
PENTAGON saved their energy in the preliminary round.
What they showed in the preliminary round wasn't everything.
How far can they go? Seriously.
I think PENTAGON...
will be fixed for e-sports soccer game.
- Right. - Yes.
Actually I want to take them to the pro team.
Only if that's possible.
PENTAGON's spot is guaranteed...
until there will be...
- no match for them. - Right.
- It's a contract for life. - Yes.
It seems Y already knows...
it will be hard unless he deals with it now.
- He kicks. It's sharp. - Ji Beom.
(Will Ji Beom, the ace of Golden Child, have a chance?)
(Ji Beom)
(Will he make it a tie?)
(Goal)
He scored!
(That was unexpected.)
Ji Beom is also a tough opponent.
It's like watching the finals.
That was amazing.
It hasn't even been 20 minutes yet,
and both teams scored.
- They're doing great. - It's all about enthusiasm.
Both teams know that. It's a tie already.
Y has the ball.
Good. Golden Child is catching up.
No wonder they made it to the semifinals.
(Golden Child launches a blistering attack.)
Y.
Ji Beom got it. Will he show his skill?
(Here comes Ji Beom's skill.)
(Ji Beom of Golden Child)
Rainbow flick!
- In front of Hui... - Ji Beom... Goodness.
Almost!
(It's a close game.)
- That was close. - That was close. Good.
Their pass is so strong.
It's all right.
Ji Beom's move...
heated PENTAGON up.
- Ji Beom holds out. - Ji Beom.
(Ji Beom has the skill to pass the defense in no time.)
- Ji Beom. - Ji Beom is good.
Ji Beom.
If Golden Child's pass lasts,
they would score more.
If PENTAGON plays concisely,
Golden Child...
breaks through with an excellent personal skill.
Ji Beom and Hui can form a united team.
That will be interesting.
They'll still do well against pro players.
It's Hui in the right. Good pass never misses.
It's Shin Won. There's space. Shin Won.
(And?)
Shin Won.
There's space.
Shin Won.
- Goal! - Goal!
Nice!
(Everyone's delighted and touched.)
That was...
what we would see in the pro league.
His pass broke the offside trap.
It was perfect until the end.
No one predicted it. Their pass went through,
and they scored.
- That was like Puskas's play. - Yes.
That was the most wonderful goal I've seen this year.
The first half is already over.
It's over before I knew.
Let's stake everything.
(Grim determination)
That was a good game.
- That was good. - That was good.
It's totally ours.
Let's score calmly,
turn the game around and defend from there on.
The next teams must be nervous.
It's the second half. PENTAGON takes the lead with 2 to 1.
Golden Child attacks.
Ji Beom passes to Y.
(They carefully continue with the pass.)
Golden Child is careful with the pass now.
Ji Beom is getting careful too.
Ji Beom passes the ball.
Golden Child needs to work this out.
- Ji Beom's doing good. - Ji Beom's being himself.
- Yes. - Ji Beom's doing good.
- Good! - It's open.
- Come to the center. - Don't hesitate.
- This time, it's Y. - Ji Beom...
(What a shame.)
Without the good goalkeeper,
it could've been a goal.
Y has a chance again. Ji Beom's in the left.
Shin Won's here to block them.
Ji Beom... That was a good defense.
That was a good defense. He blocked with his shoulder.
(PENTAGON asked to switch players.)
Don't exhaust yourself.
(PENTAGON's in a rush as the game is turned around.)
Hui's getting ready to switch.
This is getting really interesting.
If the semifinals are this fun, the finals must be great.
Every time PENTAGON...
stopped the game,
they showed a meaningful change.
In the preliminary round, he scored...
as soon as he changed a player.
I wonder if they'll make a meaningful switch...
or will there be change in the strategy?
We're winning.
(No more defense. We'll now attack.)
Nice. Let's do this.
Golden Child is one point behind,
- but they tensed the game. - Yes.
They tensed the game,
and pressure Liverpool from the front.
Oh, head.
- They're on the move. - Hui.
- Shin Won's in the center. - He needs to be careful now.
Hui's open.
- Here I go. - What will he do here?
- Will he score? - He got it.
I got it!
Will he score?
(A goal for the victory)
He scored.
- Hui. - They're good.
They scored the third goal.
- The player switch was a good idea. - They focused on the switch.
Actually no Liverpool player is...
- strong at the front attack. - Right.
With the new player, they focused on the height.
And it worked.
(It's okay.)
(Fans' support cheers them up.)
Just wait.
Hui's getting ready to switch a player again.
- A defense? - Yes, one more defense.
Okay. Let's turn the game around.
Henderson is in.
(A forward striker is out, and a mid-fielder is in.)
The forward striker is out.
- They're blocking. - Yes.
A forward striker is out, and a mid-fielder is in.
That means they'll keep this score.
It feels like a real soccer game.
15 minutes left.
Golden Child.
They must break the opponent's sturdy defense.
- Ji Beom. - Ji Beom's showing what he's got.
Ji Beom won't cut them some slack.
(How does he do that?)
Ji Beom keeps showing a good performance.
There isn't enough time to score two goals.
Golden Child should score by now.
Y... Oh, that was good though.
Hui defended.
- Up there. - It's Hui again.
- That's right. - He's good at receiving.
(Fantastic pass)
As you see...
He got it.
(His pass surprises commentators many times today.)
- As you see... - Free-kick.
Gosh. That was close.
- It's all right. - It's two passes in a row.
The pass looked nonchalant,
but it was meaningful.
That's amazing.
Ji Beom passed.
And...
(But the ball is stopped by a defender.)
And...
The pass was good though.
- The buzzer sounds. - PENTAGON...
defeats Golden Child and makes it to the finals.
(Shin Won)
(Enjoying the victory)
What did you think of the game?
The player switch influenced...
- the game big time. - That's right.
I can't help but praise Hui's strategy.
We normally exclaim when we see a beautiful goal.
But if we exclaim at the pass,
that means it's the next level.
What's interesting is that...
we get a lot of highlights from PENTAGON's game.
The second game is waiting for us next.
For the second game,
SF9, the second place in Group A...
and the united team, the first place in Group B...
are waiting.
- Go, united team. - Go, united team.
(The united team placed 1st in Preliminary Group A.)
- Go, SF9. - Go, SF9.
(SF9 is no longer the weakest team and is heading for the victory.)
(Who will be the winner between the two?)
(Team choice)
It looks like there's a change in strategy.
Son Heung Min's location changed.
- He's in the top two. - Right.
Does Son Heung Min often play the forward striker?
That's right. He plays...
the left-wing,
but along with Harry Kane, he also plays the forward striker.
- We call him Son the top. - Oh, he's Son the top.
I'll look forward to the sharp performance of Son the top.
As always, Jae Hwan is...
looking at Sung Woon...
with a stable ball keeping.
(They got a chance to score soon after the start.)
(Will the united team score first?)
- Sung Woon. - Sung Woon.
- Already? - Jae Hwan.
One more time. But it's blocked.
But it's blocked.
What?
The united team shows no mercy.
I'm...
losing my voice commenting on a game.
(His voice rises at the interesting game.)
(DinDin kept shouting goal all day.)
- Goal! - What was that?
I'm losing my voice commenting on a game.
It's Sung Woon again.
(The united team continues to attack.)
There are many players in the center.
It's very neat.
That was good.
- It heads to the side. - That was too long.
It seems the united team's improved.
- It's concise now. - Yes.
It's more of a team play than keeping the ball to themselves.
It feels serious.
- They head to the center. - Let's see.
It's Sung Woon.
- Jae Hwan... Goal. - Goal.
(Nice)
Jae Hwan...
Son Heung Min!
Son Heung Min with the back number 40 scores.
That was Son Heung Min's favorite strategy in real life.
As he approaches to the center from the side,
he kicks.
Yes. That's it.
That's the united team's teamwork.
I'm happy that Son Heung Min scored.
- Yes. - Right.
(SF9 versus United Team)
(They're so good at stealing the ball.)
(It's not easy.)
SF9 is currently struggling.
I hope SF9 can attack.
- That's right. - That's right. That's good.
- Youngbin's moving. - Now's the time.
Good.
That was a good move, Youngbin.
The united team is attacking again.
- It's Son the top. - Look.
- Son the top. - He's running.
- Son the top. - He runs well.
Jae Hwan's attacking.
Jae Hwan.
(And?)
Jae Hwan.
Son the top.
Hurry up.
They're scary.
Let's score one more and end it.
Overall, it was a good idea for the united team...
- to put Son Heung Min in the front. - Yes.
The united team is still leading the game.
SF9 has no shooting at all.
No.
That's how strong the united team's defense is.
- Now... - This is necessary.
They got three minutes additional time.
- They must try. - Youngbin.
Good. They made it a corner kick.
Inseong will kick. He's going for a long kick.
Inseong kicks to the back.
Header...
(The ball misses.)
Let's finish the first half.
It's over.
The united team is in the lead with one to nothing.
We shoot a lot, but we don't score.
- This is embarrassing. - Thank you.
We have a high shoot success rate.
(SF9 has zero shoot success rate.)
It's zero percent.
Success rate.
We've watched the first half. The united team is...
doing well as we expected.
SF9 hasn't shown their ability yet.
That's a shame.
The united team is playing seriously.
They're not using tricks like last time.
They're playing seriously.
We never know how this will turn out.
SF9 is not doing as well as they did...
in the preliminary round.
So we may have hope in them.
I think the united team...
studied on the pass...
during the break.
I think they talked about it.
(Inseong keeps the ball stable.)
It's Inseong. That's good.
Right. They need to go slow.
- Good. SF9. - That was good.
- They can go slow.
- That's right. - Youngbin.
Youngbin.
(That's a shame.)
That was a perfect angle.
Youngbin almost had it.
Sung Woon has the ball.
- That's fast. - It's 2 to 1 pass.
- Son the top. - He did it.
Son the top.
- Good. Jae Hwan. - Will he shoot here?
Keep it going.
- Goal! - Goal!
Son Heung Min!
- The united team's Son the top. - I can't believe it.
It feels like real Son Heung Min is playing.
- It was the same. - Yes.
It felt like the real Son Heung Min.
(It's similar to Son Heung Min's wonder goal.)
- He uses both feet well. - Yes.
That was exactly how Son Heung Min plays.
I expected him to pass to the center.
He broke through one more time.
The united team created a fantastic scene...
and the second goal. The current score is two to nothing.
- Who is that? - Son Heung Min.
- It's him again.
- Son Heung Min. - Straight shoot. You must do it.
- It's a goal. - It's a hat trick.
It's a hat trick. Son Heung Min's hat trick.
Sung Woon and Jae Hwan. They're a team for a reason.
That reminds me, Son Heung Min is...
- is the Dortmund killer. - Right.
- Let's not give up. - Sure.
Jae Hwan and Sung Woon both used Son Heung Min...
to score in a row.
If the united team was aiming at this,
I'd be surprised.
- They put Heung Min in the top. - Right.
For the first time in the semifinals.
Then they achieved a hat trick in the semifinals.
It's completely different from the preliminary rounds.
- Yes. - It's also concise.
Due to the change in strategy,
SF9 is unable to show what they prepared.
If they were aiming at it, that's awesome.
PENTAGON looks grim now.
I want to try. It'd be cool.
Yes.
- He received it well. - That was a good pass.
- He received it well. - It's a 1-on-1.
Youngbin.
(The ball hits the goalpost.)
The luck isn't on their side.
- It hit the goalpost. - No. You did a good job.
If they scored, it would've been risky.
They'd score three goals right away.
The united team is good. They look like a different team.
- They're good at pressuring. - Yes.
(Splendid foot skill and broad view)
- It's Son Heung Min again. - He plays like that?
Jae Hwan's waiting for Sung Woon.
Son Heung Min.
Gosh.
And Sung Woon scores.
It's over.
The united team is playing really well.
They're pretty much saying...
- goodbye. - I have a question for them.
- I'm serious. - Okay.
The opponents wear a yellow uniform.
- They're Dortmund. - Yes.
Son Heung Min is good at controlling them.
- He's the Dortmund killer. - Yes.
And he's playing the top today.
Do you think they planned this all out?
That skill was amazing.
If they planned it all out,
they'd be as good as Bob Ross's drawing.
Not even Mourinho would see that coming.
Heung Min scored 3 goals plus 1 with help.
- Right. - It's perfect. It's 10 out of 10.
For SF9...
- It's Son the top again. - There's no one.
Jae Hwan scores!
He aimed at it.
- Look at that! - He definitely aimed at it.
That was just amazing.
He aimed at it.
He scored 4 goals plus 1 with help.
I know they're winning, but it's too much.
Heung Min the Dortmund killer.
- It was Son Heung Min. - Yes.
It's probably the best performance in Son Heung Min's career.
Inseong's given up.
He doesn't care anymore.
Right.
(This is what you call a skill.)
They're teasing now.
That's not nice.
They're insulting.
The game is over.
The united team defeated SF9 by five to nothing.
It's a complete victory.
Son Heung Min scored 4 goals plus 1 with help.
The highlights are all Son Heung Min.
Here, Son shoots with his right foot.
- That's his favorite pattern. - Yes.
That reminds me of real Son Heung Min.
- That looked like real Heung Min. - Right.
- That's exactly how he moves. - Yes.
That's decalcomanie.
The united team makes it to the finals.
2020 Idol Star Athletics E-sports Championships.
Only the final round remains.
It's PENTAGON versus the united team.
Let's meet each team.
First, it's PENTAGON.
Would you make a promise in case you win?
If we win,
Hui and I will make a heart with our cheeks.
- Sounds good. - We'll do it together.
Let's find out later whether we'll get to see it or not.
It's the united team.
What's your promise?
I think they cheered for us so much today.
So I...
Well...
I'll write I love you and thank you with my butt.
That's a lot of words.
- "I love you and thank you." - "I love you and thank you."
"With my butt."
You have to write that too.
That's 14 words.
Okay. I can't wait to see that.
Let's find out who will win.
I'm looking forward to it.
I can't believe how this happened in the finals.
They chose...
- Liverpool and Tottenham. - Right.
That was the final match of European Champions League...
- last year. - Right.
It's the return match.
What a coincidence.
Liverpool won that game.
Really?
(Will PENTAGON playing Liverpool win?)
(Or will Tottenham take revenge for losing in the Champions league?)
It's a single round game.
I think the united team is likely to win.
I think PENTAGON has more chances.
Hui and Shin Won.
They have an outstanding pass skill.
- Do you mind me joining your team? - No.
- Okay. - I feel confident.
You said you're getting a bad feeling from the right side.
I'm voting for PENTAGON.
- Sounds good. - What about you, Seung Heon?
I guess I have no choice but to cheer for the united team.
- That was smooth. - If you're here, you'll win.
Let's find out who will win between the two teams.
The game will now begin.
