On the July 15 episode of SBS's "Kick a Goal," the second match of the single-elimination "2nd GIFA Cup" will air, alongside actor Kim Hwan-hee's first-ever soccer challenge.
Kim Hwan-hee has officially joined the veteran team "FC Actionista" and thrown her hat into the ring for soccer. Regarding her joining, she stated, "When I set a goal, I see it through to the end," expressing her firm determination to contribute to the team's victory.
She revealed a unique anecdote about playing with national dodgeball team members during her high school years, showing a competitive spirit worthy of a national athlete. Expectations are high to see if Kim Hwan-hee, who has been training intensely since joining, will emerge as a top-tier rookie who shakes up "Kick a Goal."
Her addition has brought fresh energy to "FC Actionista," which previously held the title of the "oldest team" on "Kick a Goal." With the addition of Kim Hwan-hee, a "2002 World Cup baby," the team's average age has dropped by two years. Moved by this, existing member Lee Young-ah shared a sense of connection by saying, "I'm class of '02," creating an unexpected "2002 parallel theory" that had the set laughing. Head coach Park Joo-ho also praised the new youngest member, saying, "She is a friend with such bright and good energy." Attention is focused on what fresh changes the "human vitamin" Kim Hwan-hee will bring to the stagnant team atmosphere.
On the day of her long-awaited debut match, Kim Hwan-hee radiated her signature bright energy even in the unfamiliar and tense stadium, boosting the morale of her teammates. Committee Chairman Ha Seok-ju, who watched from the stands, reportedly couldn't hide his admiration, saying, "She has the most composure among the players making their debut."
Actor Kim Hwan-hee, now in her 19th year since debut, has signaled an extraordinary presence from her very first match. The intense debut match, showing what kind of whirlwind she will create on the green field as the youngest member of "FC Actionista," will be revealed on "Kick a Goal," airing tonight (15th) at 9 PM.
