On the July 22 broadcast of SBS's "Kick a Goal," the third single-elimination match of the 2nd GIFA Cup quarterfinals will take place, featuring a fateful showdown between FC Gucheok Jangsin and FC Balladrim.
Having received the disgrace of being the first team in "Kick a Goal" history to have the word "last place" printed on their uniforms, FC Gucheok Jangsin captain Lee Hyun-yi suffered from a heavy sense of responsibility, admitting, "It feels like the end on 'Kick a Goal,'" and even contemplating leaving the show. However, amid high-intensity special training under newly appointed manager Cho Won-hee she solidified the slogan "the mind rules the body" and declared her awakening as the "original tenacious fighter."
Lee Hyun-yi's intense obsession continued until the day of the match. Starting at dawn, she fueled her fighting spirit by bombarding her teammates with nearly 100 advice messages. In response, the members jokingly remarked, "If anyone misses their mark (on defense) today, we're dead to Hyun-yi unni," while stepping onto the pitch with a more determined resolution than ever before.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-yi's husband, Hong Sung-ki, appeared in the stands to support her. Known as a department head at S Corporation, he drew laughter by revealing, "Even couple's fights aren't fights these days. I can't win against her," due to Lee Hyun-yi's ferocious aura even before the match. Furthermore, when he involuntarily shouted at one of Lee Hyun-yi's mistakes during the game, he quickly shrank back and said, "I wonder if I'm going to get chewed out later," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
Will Lee Hyun-yi and FC Gucheok Jangsin, having pushed past thoughts of leaving and ignited their fierce determination, be able to defeat FC Balladream and advance to the semifinals? "Kick a Goal" airs at 9 PM on July 22.
