(Neck and neck horseback riding final)
(A struggle for a throne, pitching final)
(The best competition ever, archery final)
(The breathtaking competition, penalty shootout final)
(A series of twists, 400m Relay final)
(I've been doing Idol Star Athletics Championships for 8 years.)
(But I've never seen anything like this before.)
(Ssireum)
You're watching 2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
This game was...
extremely popular in Chuseok last year.
It used to be an exhibition sport, but now it's an official event.
We'll now broadcast Ssireum team event.
Let's explain the rules.
In the team event, athletes get to play three rounds.
But in the individual event, they play a single round.
- That's right. - Each round is a minute long.
When it's a tie, extra 30 seconds is given.
If it's still a tie,
we'll measure their weights,
and the lighter person wins.
Since there are six teams playing this year,
one team will...
- win a game by default. - Right.
The team that wins in the last preliminary match,
will skip the semifinals...
- and play straight in the finals. - Yes.
We'll now begin the first Women's Team Ssireum preliminary match.
- Now... - The first match is...
ITZY versus April.
As for ITZY, they played ssireum match...
- in Chuseok last year. - Right.
Ryu Jin who was a ssireum rising star...
- is playing again. - Yes.
Last time, Dahyun cheered for Ryu Jin...
- in silence. - Right.
This is so intense that I don't even remember...
- the Men's Event. - That's right.
Dahyun is cheering without saying anything.
- And now... - She fell down.
She won.
Excuse me.
You're not supposed to stand up.
I'll watch if you stay neutral.
- Will you? - I'm trying my best.
- She's trying, at least. - I'm trying.
(You're the best, Dahyun.)
2020 Idol Star Athletics Ssireum Championships.
It's the first Women's Team Ssireum preliminary round.
ITZY's dance is known for its intensity and energy.
To pull such dance,
- you need strength. - Yes.
(Yeji of ITZY)
(It's unbelievable.)
(Not only her own members,)
(Yeji of ITZY)
(but girls from other groups were helpless.)
(Yeji of ITZY)
She's really strong.
(Yeji of ITZY is the strongest member.)
(Good luck.)
April said their favorite event is now ssireum.
- That's right. - It will be a close game.
Get ready.
(Tense)
The first round between ITZY and April.
It's Chae Won versus Yeji.
All coaches said...
Chae Won is the ace athlete in April.
Yeji is also strong.
- She is. - Yes.
(Right then!)
(Yeji presents a sudden major outer reaping throw.)
(It's a good start for ITZY.)
Yeji won.
What was that technique?
She was good at leg techniques during the practice too.
She stood firmly...
to perform a strong major outer reaping throw.
While Chae Won was off guard, Yeji used a throw technique.
(What a shame.)
April must win this game...
to play until the end.
(Win, April.)
April chose Ye Na...
as their ace athlete.
That's right.
(No one in her team can beat her.)
She can't control her power.
- Look. - Yes.
Ryu Jin stood out in ssireum...
last Chuseok.
Shake to the side.
One more time.
(Impregnable Ryu Jin stands firm to the opponent's attack.)
(The match ended up being determined by weight.)
(Ryu Jin performs an impregnable defense.)
Up.
(A match between the ace and the rising star)
It's a match between the ace chosen by her own members...
and the rising star of the last year's match.
Get ready.
(The match begins.)
Ye Na.
- And Ryu Jin. - Ryu Jin.
It's a close game.
Ryu Jin of ITZY was a rising star last year.
Ryu Jin has a good balance.
She's not dragged by her opponent.
Then her opponent can't perform any techniques.
Ye Na is using her power.
She's trying a major outer reaping throw.
She pushed off.
She's trying a major outer reaping throw.
She pushed off.
(ITZY wins twice in a row.)
Ryu Jin wins.
ITZY is scary.
That means April lost.
It's two to nothing.
ITZY is indeed great.
You were waiting to say that.
When the throw didn't work, she pushed Ye Na off.
That's right.
When Ye Na didn't fall, she pushed Ye Na off.
- Right. - She pushed Ye Na off.
Ye Na already lost her balance at the time.
Ryu Jin was the ace for a reason last year.
- Right. - Right.
ITZY makes it to the semifinals.
They need to save their strength for later now.
(Women's Ssireum Tournament Table)
(ITZY)
We'll now begin the second Women's Team Ssireum preliminary match.
It's MOMOLAND versus DIA.
MOMOLAND is very competitive.
Before the competition, they said they'll throw everyone.
How scary.
Hye Bin worked out her inner muscles through Pilates.
- That's a belly throw. - It's only begun.
Eunice won.
MOMOLAND must catch up.
They must win this round.
- Oh, Eun Chae is attacking. - She's shaking her.
- Twist throw. - Will she use a twist throw?
- A major outer reaping throw. - A major outer reaping throw.
- It's a returning throw. - It's a returning throw.
Ahin wins.
It's begun. It's their final round.
She's trying a major outer reaping throw.
It's a body-twist throw.
JooE wins.
MOMOLAND advances to the semifinals.
I look forward to the match between ITZY and MOMOLAND.
(MOMLAND)
We'll now begin the third Women's Team Ssireum preliminary match.
This is the last preliminary match.
LOONA versus Cherry Bullet.
Cherry Bullet almost won a gold medal last Chuseok.
They're the only team with a medal...
in ssireum this year.
(Cherry Bullet had a match against WJSN last Chuseok.)
(They thought they won,)
(but the decision was reversed after the video replay.)
- Eun Seo. - And?
(Cherry Bullet won a silver medal after being defeated by Eun Seo.)
Commentator Lee, what's your prediction on this match?
Well...
(Thinking)
- This is the toughest one. - Yes.
I think Cherries Bullet has more chance.
Whose Cherry are you talking about?
- It's Cherry Bullet. - Cherry Bullet.
(He reminds them of Yeo Chun.)
- Cherry Bullet practiced the most. - Okay.
They practiced just until the competition.
Hard work pays off.
(Even Commentator Lee admits that Cherry Bullet practiced hard.)
(They practiced fiercely to win the gold medal they missed last time.)
You know what to do because you played last year.
(Burning with passion)
Get ready.
It's begun.
Left belly throw.
(The match is over instantly.)
(No way!)
- It's over with one throw. - Amazing.
- "Cherries Bullet" is amazing. - That's right.
Hyun Jin was holding out,
but she lost her balance.
- She fell here. - Goodness.
- She held out. - She did.
She was going to hold out and lift her.
She tried to flip her over in the end.
She could've flipped her over...
if she flicked her back.
Sadly, she didn't know how.
Too bad.
Cherry Bullet sure is strong.
(Cherry Bullet wins first.)
- Olivia Hye is... - She's the ace.
the ace, and she's the strongest in her team.
She needs to win here.
- She is LOONA's hope. - Yes.
She needs to win here in order to move onto the third game.
Cherry Bullet's Re Mi is getting ready.
- Olivia Hye looks serious. - Yes.
Olivia Hye is strong.
She knows how to use her strength,
and she's very quick at taking action.
- Is she? - Yes.
So the opponent falls over...
even before she realizes the attack.
(She flips,)
(and flips,)
(and flips again.)
(Even a ssireum wrestler is amazed by her strength.)
You predict Olivia Hye's victory.
Yes, I believe Olivia Hye will win this time.
She goes in right away.
She's very fast.
Re Mi resists.
She's very strong.
- A major outer reaping throw! - A major outer reaping throw!
She's very strong.
(A big surprise)
(We won!)
What happened here?
Me Mi, no, Re Mi...
- Yes. - Suddenly you're talking fast.
- You sound flustered. - I'm okay.
Your prediction was completely wrong.
(Flustered)
Like you said, Olivia Hye...
- She went in. - went in really fast.
Here was the counterattack.
Re Mi.
- A major outer reaping throw. - It was an outer reaping throw.
(Re Mi's major outer reaping throw was quicker.)
- It was like a bolt of lightning. - Yes.
- Goodness. - Her upper body...
Her upper body went in really well.
That was amazing.
It was 2 to 0. Cherry Bullet wins...
against LOONA.
Cherry Bullet advances to the finals...
- by default. - Right.
That's right.
Women's match is so exciting.
- It is. - Yes.
(Women's Ssireum Tournament Table)
(ITZY, MOMOLAND, Cherry Bullet)
Women's Ssireum team event.
The semifinals will begin.
It's the semifinals between MOMOLAND and ITZY.
ITZY is good at ssireum.
- They're good. - They are.
MOMOLAND is a strong team too.
At first, they bow very shyly.
- "Hello." - But as soon as they grab the band,
- their eyes change. - They change.
- They suddenly change. - Yes.
- Look. They're changing slowly. - They're changing.
Hye Bin also.
(Psychological warfare)
All right.
That's scarier.
An expressionless peace sign is scary.
It's Yeji and Hye Bin's first match.
(Who will take the first victory?)
(Everyone's eyes are on one spot.)
Knees on the ground. Stand up.
(A warlike atmosphere)
Ready.
- All right. - It's begun.
Hye Bin and Yeji.
What's your prediction, Commentator Lee?
- Do I need to predict again? - Yes.
- ITZY. - Yeji.
- I say Yeji. - All right.
(Neither of them is backing down.)
- A major outer reaping throw! - A major outer reaping throw.
(A major outer reaping throw!)
You can't cheer for someone.
I blurted that out by mistake.
Hye Bin is not easy.
She keeps trying to attack.
Yes, they're both trying to attack. Outer reaping throw doesn't work.
Hye Bin won't fall.
- Outer reaping throw doesn't work. - They're catching their breath.
- She's not easy. - She's not easy.
Holding out like this...
will tire them out.
Pushing off!
Hye Bin wins!
(Hye Bin's sudden pushing off)
(A shocking defeat by Yeji)
Commentator Lee!
I'm at my wit's end.
Well, is this the curse of Lee Tae Hyun?
At least there are lots of athletes in track and field.
This is a 50-50 chance. But you got them all wrong.
Don't you think it's terrible?
(Last year, Lee Tae Hyun's prediction was 100 percent correct.)
- Yeji. - I say Yeji.
She's strong.
(Every wrestler he picked lost.)
(Is this the start of Lee Tae Hyun's curse?)
(He feels sorry for some reason.)
Lee Tae Hyun's curse has begun.
Yes, it's...
- coming soon. It has begun. - Yes.
- Yeji tried to flip her first. - Yes.
It looks like Hye Bin used that strength.
Yeji tried major outer reaping throw and other skills.
- She got tired. - Her upper body lifted.
- She became tired.
Hye Bin came back with a returning throw.
MOMOLAND's Ahin...
is a sturdy wrestler.
ITZY's ace Ryu Jin.
Ryu Jin is up next.
- Strong Ryu Jin. - Yes.
(Ryu Jin defeated her opponents easily with consecutive skills.)
Ahin used to be...
- in a basketball team. - Basketball team.
- She must be strong too. - Yes.
(Ahin advanced by using her strength only.)
(This might be ITZY's last match.)
- Both wrestlers... - Ready.
- are strong. - Ready.
(Psychological warfare from the start)
- The match has begun. - They're strong wrestlers.
(Neck and neck)
It's over if Ahin wins.
Major outer reaping throw!
(A big surprise)
(Ryu Jin gets pushed over by Ahin.)
(MOMOLAND is shocked by the big surprise.)
Ryu Jin falls over in vain.
- What is this? - No way.
What is this?
Dahyun said, "No way."
No way.
We didn't say it, but we were rooting for her.
You trusted Ryu Jin, right?
- I did. - Yes.
- Ryu Jin tried to hold out. - Yes.
But Ahin pushed her down hard.
- She pushed her. - She pressed her down.
Like you said,
Ryu Jin tried to withstand the major outer reaping throw.
She's holding out.
- She's holding out. - She is.
- She's holding out. - She thought it was nothing.
She tried to turn, but she loses her footing.
She got pushed down, then she fell over instantly.
Ahin is extremely strong.
Again, Yuna didn't get to wrestle.
(Yuna leaves the ground without a single match.)
She never got to wrestle.
All she did was to bow twice.
She just bowed twice.
(MOMOLAND advances to the finals.)
MOMOLAND and Cherry Bullet...
- will have a match. - Yes.
That's right.
(Women's Ssireum Tournament Table)
(MOMOLAND)
Women's Ssireum team event. The finals will begin.
- Commentator Lee. - Yes.
- It's the finals. - Yes.
MOMOLAND versus Cherry Bullet. Who will it be?
- The moment has come again. - Yes.
The most important is the second match.
The team that wins the second match...
- has a high chance of winning. - Yes.
I...
It's hard.
I'll go with Cherry Bullet.
- Who? - He's going to pick Cherry Bullet.
Cherry Bullet.
(He expects Cherry Bullet to win.)
MOMOLAND has good energy.
They do.
Hye Bin will wrestle first.
Amazing.
Hye Bin is very competitive.
MOMOLAND advanced because Hye Bin did well.
Right.
Why do I suddenly think MOMOLAND will win?
I think they will too.
She seems unusually strong.
(Commentator Lee predicted Yeji to win.)
- Yeji. - I say Yeji.
(Hye Bin was neck and neck against powerful Yeji.)
They're getting tired.
(Hye Bin shattered Commentator Lee Tae Hyun's prediction.)
Re Mi...
shouldn't be overwhelmed by Hye Bin's force.
(I think Oliva Hye will win.)
(Explosive power from a slender body)
(Re Mi throws down Lee Tae Hyun's curse.)
(The outcome of the finals is unpredictable.)
On your knees.
Stand up.
(First match)
Ready.
(The first match starts.)
It's begun.
(The spectators are nervous too.)
They're amazing. Major outer reaping throw.
She tries to attack.
(It's a fierce match.)
- It's fierce. - Hye Bin.
She still has some strength left.
- Tackling! - Tackling!
- Re Mi!
- Tackling! - Tackling!
- Re Mi!
(Lee Tae Hyun's prediction was right this time.)
Re Mi won!
This skill was used for the first time today, right?
- Yes. - That's right.
I taught her that skill three times.
- Did you? - Yes.
- She used it in the end. - She used it.
Are you happy because of that or because Cherry Bullet won?
- I think both. - Both.
She charged really quickly.
(Re Mi's attack was like a bold of lightning.)
I think she tackled and pushed.
It was a sloppy tackle,
but when she went in, she was very powerful.
- Amazing. - You can...
push your opponent down...
if you have that posture.
Ahin is MOMOLAND's scariest wrestler,
and Chae Rin is Cherry Bullet's scariest wrestler.
Two scary wrestlers will have a match.
If MOMOLAND loses here,
it will be over.
If Chae Rin wins, Cherry Bullet will win the gold medal.
Attention. Bow.
(It's hard to predict a sweeping victory.)
- Ahin is strong, - Yes.
so it's hard to predict Cherry Bullet's sweeping victory.
Ahin seemed weak during practice.
Did she?
But she's different today.
(A surprising ace, MOMOLAND's Ahin)
- Eun Chae is attacking. - She's going in.
- Twisted throw. - Will she do a twisted throw?
(She made a chance to turn the tables.)
Twisted throw.
Ahin wins.
(MOMOLAND's Ahin helped the team advance to the finals.)
Ryu Jin falls over in vain.
- What is this? - No way.
(Cherry Bullet's ace Chae Rin has everything a wrestler needs.)
- Ready. - The match has begun.
(She wins with one attack.)
- It's over with one throw. - Chae Rin is amazing.
(A ssireum sniper Chae Rin)
(Will it be the surprising ace or the ssireum sniper?)
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E03 Part 1 '2020 ISAC New Year Special' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
On your knees.
Stand up.
- Good luck! - Ready.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
(The match begins.)
Will Chae Rin win?
(The shortest women's ssireum match)
With one throw!
(The members are surprised.)
With one throw!
Chae Rin wins!
(Ahin is surprised.)
I just blinked, and it's over.
- Don't you think she's too strong? - This was...
the fastest ssireum match in Idol Star Athletics Championships.
- It ended really fast. - It did.
Ahin tried to push as soon as the match began.
She leaned forward,
so Chae Rin turned and did a belly throw.
- Chae Rin is amazing. - She's amazing.
(She won against MOMOLAND's Ahin.)
- She used her waist and spun her. - Yes.
It's called the belly throw because you're lifting...
the opponent up with your belly.
Amazing.
They're strong idols.
They won both rounds with a score of 2 to 0.
Cherries Bullet showed...
- "Cherries Bullet"? - I'm sorry.
- "Cherries Bullet"? - Cherry Bullet.
- I think Commentator Lee... - Yes.
made a total of 15 mistakes.
We're going to keep a record and cut his pay.
- We had a tough time. - I'm sorry.
Cherry Bullet wins the gold medal.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
This washes away their regrets from their last year's silver medal.
- Right. - Yes.
- The final match was impressive. - It was refreshing.
Yes.
Here they go.
(The winning team gets a special palanquin parade.)
In 2020, Cherry Bullet becomes...
the first ssireum idol.
(Cherry Bullet, congratulations on your gold medal.)
(Horseback Riding)
Hello, dear viewers.
I'm at Gwacheon Indoor Equestrian Center.
2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships. Horseback riding.
The finals will begin.
A match between Juhaknyeon and Kenta will begin soon.
(He showed a perfect game in the semifinals.)
(He advanced to the finals with 100 points.)
(An ace horseback riding idol, Juhaknyeon)
(Kenta was up against WJSN's Da Young, the heavy favorite.)
(He won dramatically with a calm and skillful play!)
(JBJ95's Kenta is on the upturn.)
This is the finals,
so why don't we predict the winner?
- Okay. - I'll go first.
I think Juhaknyeon will win.
- I predict that he'll win. - Why is that?
Juhaknyeon knows the sorrows of a silver medalist.
(He finished the game faster than anyone last year.)
(Unfortunately, Juhaknyeon won the silver medal.)
I believe Juhaknyeon will win the gold medal this time.
- I imagine that. - Yes.
- Let me predict the winner too. - You saw them down there.
- I saw them. - Yes.
Kenta's horse was moving a lot.
It wasn't under control.
(William seems nervous before the game.)
Let's concentrate until the end.
(Will it be focused until the end?)
Juhaknyeon's horse was under control. They were a team.
(I'll give you a box of carrots if you win this time.)
(Juhaknyeon and Saenggang will win anyway.)
Now, let's hear the commentator's prediction.
It's the finals. Who will win the gold medal?
Unlike you, I'm going to bet on Kenta.
- Kenta. - Yes.
If Kenta finishes within 100 seconds,
there's a chance for him to win the gold medal.
I do think Juhaknyeon is riding better.
- Yes. - He scored 100 points.
Last time, he won the silver medal.
He has a lot of pressure. Based on this,
I think Kenta will be the new gold medalist.
- That's my prediction. - You sound very sure.
How will the finals play out?
2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special.
Horseback riding. The finals.
It's Juhaknyeon versus Kenta.
The match begins now.
The buzzer went off.
- My palms are sweaty already. - It has begun.
(The finals is thrilling from the start.)
- It seems like... - Here they go.
Juhaknyeon entered Course A a little faster.
Yes. Juhaknyeon and Kenta,
currently, they don't show any deductions.
- Both have no deductions. - That's right.
It's the final obstacle.
- Going round in a circle. - They're almost the same.
- They're mirror images. - Decalcomania.
Their jackets are red and blue,
- but the rest look the same. - They're the same.
Their jackets are red and blue.
(They both arrive at Course B at the same time.)
- Here... - This is what you call the finals.
- They entered Course B. - Yes.
They start with Course B.
Now, here is the difficult Course C. Will there be any noise?
All right.
(Will there be deductions?)
All right.
- Neither of them touched anything. - They didn't.
- Neither of them touched anything. - Course D.
(They didn't touch the line.)
They enter Course D.
(Amazing)
(The finals sure is different.)
(Skillful Juhaknyeon is slightly ahead.)
(Picking up)
(Kenta becomes hasty.)
- He has to pick up the basket. - Kenta...
just missed the basket.
- He missed the basket. - But he catches up.
- He has to go back. - He catches up right away.
- He has to pick up the basket. - Kenta...
(He grabs the basket after two tries.)
- It's okay. - He could've been running about.
Kenta quickly...
- regained his composure. - Good.
- Now they enter Course E. - They have to be careful.
The judges are watching them with a keen eye.
(Kenta enters the wrong course.)
- Kenta... - It's okay.
- He mentioned earlier. - It doesn't matter.
That's right.
The judges are watching them with a keen eye.
(Course E is the most delicate course.)
It looks like he's seeing the obstacles clearly.
- Yes. - That's right.
(Kent quickly enters Course E with sitting trot.)
He went in with sitting trot very well. Now it's the walk.
They need to go slowly.
If they trot, that'll cost them points.
- They need to walk. - They have a lot of time left.
- 69, 70 seconds. - That's right.
- So it's okay. - Right.
Juhaknyeon...
- entered Course F. - It's the figure eight course.
He's doing the figure eight course.
(Juhaknyeon quickly finishes Course F.)
- All right. - Kenta.
- Kenta just entered. - Yes.
Course G is the final course.
(It's hard to predict the winner in the finals!)
Course G is the final course.
- No big deductions yet. - Juhaknyeon goes in.
They're similar.
(They enter Course G at the same time!)
(Juhaknyeon finishes Course G without any deductions.)
- Juhaknyeon! - He has no deductions.
Juhaknyeon has no deductions.
- Kenta! - Kenta!
- No deductions! - Clear!
(Neither of them has deductions!)
(Neck and neck)
Juhaknyeon and Kenta both finished.
(They finish almost at the same time!)
Wait a minute. They don't have any deductions.
I assume that they both finished...
- before 100 seconds. - Yes.
Because it shows 90 seconds.
- They came in within 100 seconds. - But...
am I the only one who thinks there was no deduction?
Me too!
Commentator Hwang, do you think there was a deduction?
- There was a deduction. - Really?
There was.
(They rode equally well like decalcomania.)
(It looks like there were no mistakes in Courses C and E.)
(Who received deductions?)
(Good job, Saenggang.)
Well done.
(Well done, William.)
I have no regrets.
(Great job.)
I wanted...
both of them to run the courses without mistakes or regrets.
They showed us a perfect run suited for the finals.
- That's right. - That's what matters.
It means that they practiced a lot.
Also, they rode safely...
Here it is.
(Finally, the results are here!)
- I can't look. - Here it is.
How am I going to look at this? Wait a minute.
All right.
Okay. We'll take a look.
(Nervous)
All right. Here's the score.
(Speechless)
Really?
(Who will take the gold medal?)
- Seriously, I... - I didn't see.
Unbelievable.
So this is the result.
2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special.
Horseback riding. The finals.
Juhaknyeon versus Kenta. The result...
will be revealed.
The gold medal goes to...
Juhaknyeon!
- The gold medal goes to Juhaknyeon! - Well done.
So...
Idol Star Athletics Championships New Year Special.
The gold medal went to Juhaknyeon.
Kenta, who rode as well as Juhaknyeon,
won...
- the silver medal. - Great job.
- That was a great game. - Yes.
- That's right. - I believe...
they both were skilled enough to win medals.
- That's right. - The results...
- reflected their hard work. - Yes.
Let me summarize the evaluation.
Juhaknyeon got five points deducted in Course E...
because the horse kept walking.
We didn't know what was happening to Kenta because we couldn't hear.
10 points got deducted as he touched the lane in Course C.
Kenta got 90 points, whereas Juhaknyeon got 95 points.
That's how Juhaknyeon became the winner.
Juhaknyeon is from Jeju Island.
He learned horseback riding...
- since he was young. - He is doing his ceremony.
Goodness, that's quite fast.
- What a perfect ceremony. - Right.
- That was a great ceremony. - I know.
Juhaknyeon just proved himself...
- as the best horseback rider. - Right.
(Kenta receives the silver medal.)
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
William worked so hard...
since the practice. He went through a lot.
He has been such a nice partner.
I'm glad that I was your partner.
It has been such a happy time.
(Juhaknyeon of THE BOYZ wins the gold medal.)
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
Everyone was so talented.
I didn't expect to win a medal.
But I won the gold medal eventually.
I'd like to thank the instructors. They worked so hard.
Thank you.
Thank you, Saenggang.
I'll work even harder on horseback riding.
Thank you.
(I'll show you a good game next time too.)
(Penalty Shootout)
Men's penalty shootout semifinals.
We will start with the first round.
We'll start with the first round of men's penalty shootout semifinals.
These two teams worked so hard from the quarterfinals.
Golden Child and the United Team.
Both teams worked so hard...
that they even had a sudden death.
They're now in the semifinals.
(The United Team versus VERIVERY)
(The United Team kept making mistakes.)
(However, Jeong Se Woon turned the table.)
Will he score? Yes!
(Se Woon saved the United Team.)
(Gold Child had Bo Min as their ace.)
(Jae Hyun's precise shooting skills)
(Seung Min's shooting led his team to victory.)
Seung Min leads his team to the semifinals.
This must be a very close match.
Both teams turned the tables and made it to the semifinals.
The goalkeeper's role is important for the penalty shootout.
- That's right. - The goalkeepers are very excited.
I must say we will see a good game for the semifinals.
That's right. Se Woon and Seung Min.
I can't wait to watch these two goalkeepers play the game.
It's going to be really exciting.
- Kim Jae Hwan. - His fans are screaming his name.
The whole stadium is filled with Jae Hwan's name.
Jae Hwan.
(The United Team goes first.)
He is not smiling anymore.
He wants to win now.
He will be serious with this one.
He has a bad memory from the first game.
Jae Hwan's first shoot.
(Jae Hwan missed his first shoot during the quarterfinals.)
Jae Hwan's first shoot.
(Will he score this time?)
- It's in. - Goodness.
(Goal)
- He's back. - He's back as the ace.
This is what we expected to see from Jae Hwan.
He knows how to kick right.
It was strong.
- He truly is the ace. - I know.
Because he was serious,
he could easily score.
Now, it's Golden Child's turn.
Who is the first kicker?
It's none other than Bo Min.
He is the ace player. He gets ready to kick.
Let's see if Se Woon has analyzed...
that Bo Min kicks well to the right side.
- We have to focus on that. - You are right.
It's a known fact that he kicks well to the right side.
Bo Min.
(Will he score?)
(Se Woon missed it.)
(Goal)
He's indeed good.
Bo Min's kick was really strong.
Se Woon couldn't block it although he knew it was coming from there.
Nobody delivered the right information to Se Woon.
This one wouldn't have been easy...
even if Se Woon jumped to the right side.
Thanks to Bo Min's goal, it's now 1 to 1.
It's a tie.
Sung Woon missed to score two times...
during the quarterfinals.
- He hasn't even scored once. - Right.
He's trying to shoot with the same way he missed the ball.
(He worked hard with the run-up, but he failed to score.)
The ball hit the post!
- He's smiling, but he must be sad. - Of course.
(Sung Woon gets far from the penalty mark.)
- He's going far again. - Right.
(Is this a long-jump or a penalty shootout?)
(Sung Woon insists on using the run-up to shoot.)
He's playing it against Seung Min.
Sung Woon starts running.
(Can he score this time?)
He's going to shoot after the run-up from a distance.
(He's coming.)
(Sung Woon scored.)
He's going to jump on the run-up from a distance.
(Goal)
Goodness, he almost slipped.
Right.
He must have used that extreme run-up...
to bring out the momentum of the ball speed.
Right.
- He's passionate. - Goodness.
- He's very passionate. - I know.
That was an amazing ball that split the earth.
(Sung Woon's shooting that split the earth)
The atmosphere here is as heated as a World Cup game.
I know. It's all heated.
I know.
(The stadium is all heated.)
(The fans are screaming so hard that it's filled with their cheer.)
Here comes the second kicker from Golden Child.
Jae Hyun gets ready to kick.
Jae Hyun thought that his team would end up in second place.
His team would secure second place if he wins this round.
That's right.
Jae Hyun.
- Is it in? - No, he blocked it.
(Se Woon blocked the ball.)
- He blocked it. - Se Woon!
(Disappointed)
He's indeed good.
Se Woon is the ultimate goalkeeper of the penalty shootout.
Se Woon is the hero of this game.
He is an unbelievable player.
You should scout him.
- I'll give him a call. - Right.
- He is actually from Busan. - Right.
I think he must have faked his identity.
- He seems like he is experienced. - I know.
He blocked so well.
It's not easy to block the ball...
as he throws himself, making the block stable.
But Se Woon did it.
It's Sung Woon's turn to kick.
(Sung Woon scored his first goal earlier.)
Sung Woon.
The United Team is playing with the A, B, B, A method.
That's right.
If he scores this time,
he'll put his team in a very favorable position.
- Sung Woon! - No.
(The ball went over the net.)
The ball went over the net.
Golden Child has one more chance now.
(Upset)
Sung Woon missed...
his second ball.
Jae Hwan is consoling him.
It's the teammate's role...
- to console each other. - Right.
Bo Min just clenched his fist...
to show that he will make sure to score.
It looks like Se Woon is a strong candidate...
- to be the MVP. - Right.
Can Bo Min score this time?
Se Woon seems very relaxed at all times.
Bo Min scored earlier. Did Se Woon figure out...
that Bo Min would kick to the right? Will he take advantage of this?
Bo Min slowly approaches the ball.
(Shooting to the right is always right.)
(Which direction would Se Woon pick this time?)
Bo Min.
He kicked to the right again.
(Se Woon went to the other direction again.)
- He kicked to the right again. - To the right again.
I guess Se Woon hasn't figured it out yet.
It's a tie again. It's 2 to 2.
Bo Min definitely is doing...
his job for his team.
For this round, it looks more like...
a match between Bo Min and Se Woon.
It's time for the ace, Jae Hwan.
He tries so hard to make it up...
for what he missed during the quarterfinals.
How would Jae Hwan do this time?
Let's find out.
(He's become serious.)
(Seung Min, you can do it!)
We are all waiting...
for Jae Hwan's kick that would decide the winner of the game.
The referee blows the whistle, and Jae Hwan approaches the ball.
He scores!
(Goal)
That was a powerful kick.
Goodness, it was precise.
Right.
In fact,
Seung Min checked the direction.
He couldn't follow after the ball although he saw the direction.
He would have been a soccer player if he wasn't a singer.
- He is very talented. - I know.
That makes the United Team to...
lead by 1 point as the score marks 3 versus 2.
Here comes the next player.
Jae Hyun is hugely responsible...
for the victory of Golden Child.
(Let's go, Se Woon.)
- Se Woon. - Yes. It seems like...
he found it fun to be a goalkeeper.
- I know. - He's concentrating hard.
- He's warming up as well. - Right.
Jae Hyun!
(The ball goes over the net.)
He missed it.
It went too high.
Jae Hyun was too conscious. The ball went over the net.
(Jae Hyun missed the ball as he was too nervous.)
The United Team would win if they score this time.
Golden Child no longer has the chance to kick.
That's right.
We'll have the most confident players.
Jae Hwan is here.
Which one do players avoid more? The 1st kicker or the 5th kicker?
They avoid being the first kicker.
- Really? - Yes.
The first kicker gets pressured the most.
They try not to be the first kicker.
So the best kicker gets to be the first kicker.
Then they avoid being the fifth kicker.
Jae Hwan is both the 1st and the 5th kicker...
- for the game today. - That's right.
He covers them both.
Which kicker were you?
I was the 10th kicker.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.
It's the chance to lead...
his team to victory.
Can Seung Min block his ball?
(Can Jae Hwan lead his team to victory at once?)
Jae Hwan is kicking the ball.
He's kicking the ball.
(Goal)
He couldn't block the ball.
Jae Hwan led his team to the finals.
The United Team proceeds to the finals.
(It's touching.)
It was an amazing kick.
Seung Min jumped toward the ball.
But the ball got in. Let's check it with the slow video.
Goodness, look at him kicking.
Did you see his leg swing?
His leg swing is almost like a professional's.
His form was just beautiful.
Seung Min was very calm and focused on the ball.
- But the ball was too fast. - Right.
That was a perfectly balanced match...
of Jae Hwan and Seung Min.
The United Team advances to the finals.
We'll start with the second match of men's penalty shootout semifinals.
Right. It's SF9 versus Stray Kids.
It's the second match of men's penalty shootout semifinals.
The United Team already advanced to the finals.
Let's see which team would go to the finals.
SF9 did an excellent job for being in the semifinals.
However, Stray Kids never missed a ball.
That's how they made it to the semifinals.
Let's see if they can show a beautiful match.
(Stray Kids never missed a ball.)
(They were the only group that did not miss any ball.)
(Rowoon is the ace player of the team.)
(Rowoon's shooting amazed Lee Keunho too.)
(Chief goalkeeper of SF9, Youngbin)
(Youngbin is known as the best blocker.)
(A match between Stray Kids and SF9 starts now.)
How do you forecast...
the match?
(How do you forecast the match?)
Rowoon is the best player so far.
However, Stray Kids does better...
as a team.
Are you saying that you are cheering for both teams?
- That's right. - I see.
- You are very sharp. - I know.
Soo Bin knows how to control Keunho around.
That was very safe.
He wants to be safe.
(I cheer for both teams.)
Seungmin is going first.
He has shown a very simple style of shooting today.
(He showed 100 percent of shooting accuracy rate.)
He has shown a very simple style of shooting today.
He's playing against Youngbin.
We'll start with the first kick.
He's shooting.
(Seungmin's ball wasn't strong enough.)
Youngbin easily blocked the ball.
He blocked it.
So the whole shooting didn't reach its climax when it hit the keeper.
He chose to do an inside-kick unlike the first round.
He wanted to make it stable.
But it was too weak.
That's right.
Youngbin easily blocked the ball...
on his spot.
It must've pressured him a lot.
- That must be why he missed it. - Right.
It's Rowoon's turn.
We all know how talented he is.
Even Kim Byung Ji approved of him.
He complimented Rowoon a lot.
He just proved himself...
that he deserves all those compliments.
It's important for the first kicker to score.
(Can he score the first one for the semifinals?)
Rowoon's shooting.
(Goal)
Bang Chan tried his best to block.
(Unbelievable)
Rowoon's shooting.
Bang Chan tried his best to block.
But the kick was too powerful.
Goodness. I watched it with the slow video.
But the ball went at such a fast speed.
Unlike the other players, he kicked it toward the front.
- That means... - Right.
- he knows how to play soccer. - Yes.
Rowoon scored the first one for SF9.
Stray Kids missed their first one.
SF9 is leading by one point.
Stray Kids is losing.
They have to block the second one.
We have Hyunjin here.
(The second kicker is Hyunjin of Stray Kids.)
He is playing against Youngbin.
He scored two times during the quarterfinals.
(He's not hesitant at all.)
(Goal)
- That was inexorable. - Right.
Hyunjin was very confident with his own shooting.
(Hyunjin marked 100 percent of shooting accuracy rate.)
It's a tie. It's 1 to 1.
It's SF9's turn again.
Inseong couldn't score at all...
during the quarterfinals.
He hasn't shown his talent yet as a new member.
Can he overcome it during the semifinals?
He looks like he is a bit nervous.
Bang Chan is having psychological warfare.
(Bang Chan is enticing him to shoot toward the left.)
Bang Chan is telling him to kick toward the left side.
(Inseong seems like he's confused.)
(They are having psychological warfare.)
(Who is going to be the winner of this war?)
Inseong is shooting.
(Goal)
He scored to the right.
SF9 scored their first one.
He scored to the right.
(Inseong won the psychological warfare.)
He contributed a lot when it was so important for the team.
N.Flying hasn't gone home yet.
Right.
They are showing a great presence.
They still look very bright.
Inseong did not score...
during the quarterfinals.
But they got to the semifinals because N.Flying missed their goals.
He must feel relieved now.
It's Stray Kids' turn again.
Seungmin of Stray Kids.
Stray Kids.
He couldn't block it.
The goalkeeper could have blocked this one.
Will he put his team in a favorable position...
or will he put the game into another mystery?
Rowoon's shooting.
(Goal)
The ball just disappeared.
"What did just pass by?"
(The fourth kicker is Hyunjin of Stray Kids.)
Hyunjin's shooting.
- He was very calm. - Neck and neck.
(The fourth kicker is Inseong of SF9.)
He scored again.
This is such a close match!
3 to 3, it's a tie.
He missed the ball when he was the first kicker.
How will he do this time?
Let's put it to an end.
Seungmin just scored.
The game will be over if SF9 doesn't score this time.
That's right. Let's see how...
Rowoon overcomes his pressure.
We have to keep an eye on him.
Let's see if he would be lonely or a hero.
- He's a very important player. - That's right.
He's the fifth kicker.
(Bang Chan is playing another psychological warfare.)
His fans must be eager to see him...
being proud of himself.
- Of course. - He has to be proud of himself.
(Rowoon is so pressured that he can't even smile.)
He has a stern look on his face.
- He's nervous. - Of course.
It's hard not to be nervous.
He's about to join the finals.
(His shooting will decide whether his team goes to the finals or not.)
The whistle has blown.
Rowoon's shooting.
Rowoon!
(Goal)
The ace player doesn't get shaken.
N.Flying is doing the ceremony.
That's a fancy ceremony.
(Rowoon can smile now.)
Rowoon.
His shooting is inexorable.
It's common for the players to make a mistake...
- when they kick for many times. - Right.
But Rowoon has been perfect today.
He didn't make any mistakes.
Bang Chan was the kicker...
in the last round.
He is the goalkeeper this time.
He is the sixth kicker.
It's the sudden death for the two teams.
They don't get another chance from this point onward.
This is their only chance.
(The goalkeepers play against each other.)
Bang Chan's shooting.
Goodness.
(He blocked the ball.)
This isn't over yet.
This is another tie.
SF9 is in a very favorable position.
Youngbin blocked the ball.
Bang Chan chose to steal the timing as he shot.
He missed the timing and kicked to the center.
- The goalkeeper was standing there. - Right.
That was hard. That was one hard shot.
Now, it's Youngbin.
If he scores, it's over.
If Bang Chan defends,
there will be round seven for the first time.
He'll have to face the kickers again.
All right.
Their fans are also watching in silence.
Will he be entering the finals...
or will there be a sudden death again?
Bang Chan is getting his energy together.
Youngbin is shooting.
It goes in...
He defended.
- It goes in... - He defended.
(The goalpost and Bang Chan defend perfectly.)
- He defended. - He defended.
We got a super save.
As Bang Chan defended,
the ball hit the post and bounced off.
We should watch a slow version again.
Let's watch.
- That was a good shot. - It was,
but Bang Chan knew where it was going...
and put his arm out to block it.
Nice.
- That was a fly swatter blocking. - Yes.
He did a great job.
This means there will be round seven.
The sudden death continues.
The match continues.
Seungmin of Stray Kids will kick.
And...
Rowoon of SF9 will kick after.
The sudden death between...
number 1 and 2 kickers will continue.
It's a long shot.
(He defended.)
Youngbin blocked it!
He's extremely flexible.
That was a great combination of flexibility and reflex.
If he wasn't flexible,
- he'd be having a muscle pain. - Right.
- He'd go crazy. - He'd get a cramp.
If anything goes wrong,
it could be dangerous. We call that splits.
You'll have to calm your muscles.
He was able to pull it off.
He went to the right,
then he stretched out his left leg.
- He blocked that ball. - I know.
SF9 is very impressive.
That's amazing. He stretched out his leg.
He defended with the tip of his foot.
He's here to end this battle.
It's Rowoon.
(I'm here to end this battle.)
Now,
he's getting ready to kick.
In quarterfinals and semifinals,
he kicked five times, and scored every time.
Rowoon hasn't been blocked yet.
- And... - Will he stand strong again?
- Right. - I can't wait to find out.
I'm looking forward to it.
And Bang Chan put up a great defense...
in the previous round.
(Will they move onto the finals?)
(Or will there be Round 8?)
Rowoon!
(Goal)
Rowoon leads SF9...
to the finals.
- N.Flying is still here. - Yes.
Rowoon really showed what it takes to be an ace.
- Yes. - That's right.
Both teams presented an interesting match.
They both played a good game.
