In Part 2 of SBS's "Nagoya Galgoya," airing on the night of October 8 at 9 p.m., Jun Hyun-moo's vivid journey to Nagoya, Japan, as a sports commentator, along with untold stories behind the matches, will unfold.
The broadcast captures Jun Hyun-moo stepping up as a "rookie caster" at the live commentary desk. After taking special crash courses from Bae Sung-jae and Gu Bon-gil to prepare for broadcasting, Jun is tasked right from his commentary debut with major matches: the men's sabre team semifinals and final. In particular, he vividly delivered the moment "fencing emperor" Oh Sang-uk clinched a dramatic comeback gold medal, reportedly capturing both viewership ratings and dopamine.
Following the competition, Jun Hyun-moo joins Bae Sung-jae, Gu Bon-gil, and Lee Yong-dae for a "Broadcasters' Night" to look back at the tournament's greatest highlights, followed by a meeting with national fencing representatives Oh Sang-uk and Do Gyeong-dong. Oh Sang-uk showcases the mindset of a champion by sharing his true feelings under intense pressure, along with his memorable quote, "Don't make excuses," while Do Gyeong-dong, who competed through an injury, also shares his candid reflections.
In addition, Jun Hyun-moo hosts a celebratory dinner to fulfill a promise made to "weightlifting fairy" Park Hye-jeong, who surpassed a total of 300 kg to claim a silver medal. Jun confesses his emotional reaction at the time, saying, "The moment '300' flashed on the screen subtitles during the competition, I almost burst into tears." Park Hye-jeong candidly opens up about everything from her special relationship with her rival, China's Li Wenwen, to her retirement plans, while also taking on the dance challenge for group RESCENE's "Pretty Girl" alongside Jun Hyun-moo.
Capturing the lingering emotions of the games and the honest stories of the national athletes, Part 2 of "Nagoya Galgoya" airs on Thursday, October 8, at 9 p.m.
