Coupang Play Variety Show 'Shooting Star' Season 2 Gu Ja-cheol, Lee Geun-ho Declaration Poster Released

The declaration poster of the two newly joined players, Gu Ja-cheol and Lee Geun-ho, has been released.

Coupang Play's variety show 〈Shooting Star〉 Season 2 is a growth soccer variety show where legendary star players who have learned to truly enjoy soccer after retirement challenge the K3 League. Last season, 'FC Shooting Star' achieved the impossible promotion to the K3 League. General Manager Park Ji-sung, who was contemplating strengthening the team's power, successfully recruited Gu Ja-cheol and Lee Geun-ho, who had been vocal since Season 1. With the addition of a national team class midfielder and forward, expectations are high for what kind of exciting matches the upgraded tactics and performance of 'FC Shooting Star' will showcase.

The serious appearance of Gu Ja-cheol and Lee Geun-ho, also known as the 'Gu-I Combination', who will be the core of 'FC Shooting Star's attacking football tactics, is captured in this poster, which shows them in the locker room before the match. First, Gu Ja-cheol, who has protected the Taegeuk mark as the national team captain for 11 years, reveals his firm determination while staring straight ahead with a soccer ball held in both hands. Following that, Lee Geun-ho, the 'Son of the Sun', is seen with a serious expression, with a soccer ball at his feet, fully displaying the instincts of a striker.

Gu Ja-cheol stated, "I felt very intrigued watching Season 1, and many around me talked a lot about 〈Shooting Star〉. Joining the program itself is a big challenge for me. Every match is precious. I will do my best with all my effort." Lee Geun-ho expressed, "I think it’s a great fortune to feel the emotions of being a professional player once again. I will work hard to repay the support of the viewers from Season 1." The anticipation grows for how the special chemistry between the two players will explode in 'FC Shooting Star'.

Regarding the addition of these two players, Coach Choi Yong-soo expressed his delight and strong trust. He said, "I wanted to see the brilliant performances they showed during their active years with my own eyes, and they demonstrated plays that understand soccer in actual matches. Their dedication and positive energy are driving the good team atmosphere. In this 〈Shooting Star〉, they will be able to showcase the soccer they desire freely."
