[Star Daily News=Reporter Hwang Kyujun] ‘Shooting Star’ returns for a second season.
Coupang Play’s entertainment ‘Shooting Star 2’ is Korea’s only full-time growth soccer entertainment where retired legendary players challenge current K League alongside director Park Ji-sung and coach Choi Yong-soo.
‘FC Shooting Star’, which was promoted to the K3 League this season, will face off against the top domestic semi-pro K3 clubs connecting K League 1 and K League 2. ‘Shooting Star’ season 2 introduces new players such as Koo Ja-cheol and Lee Keun-ho, whose names alone excite soccer fans.
Just the fact that club owner Park Ji-sung is stepping onto the ground once more already foretells hot emotion and explosive responses. ‘London Generation’ leader, Koo Ja-cheol, who led the national team and was a key player in the 2012 London Olympics bronze medal, ‘Son of the Sun’ Lee Keun-ho who earned the AFC Champions League MVP and Player of the Year, ‘Yeom Star’ Yeom Ki-hoon who received high praises from coach Choi Yong-soo in season 1, and legendary defender Yoon Young-sun, along with newly joined players will team up with the existing players in the tough challenges of ‘FC Shooting Star’.
Live viewing events, highly requested by fans last season, will also take place. All league matches of ‘Shooting Star’ season 2 provide opportunities for direct viewing. Moreover, talented youth soccer prospects are given special opportunities to join legendary players on the ground. Youth players selected through tryouts will gain invaluable experience learning the expertise of Korea’s legendary players on and off the field.
Coupang Play Shooting Star 2′ is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2025.
