Lim Young-woong Suffers Decisive Defeat Against Coach Ahn Jung-hwan in 'Let's Play Soccer 4'
Singer Lim Young-woong experienced a significant loss against coach Ahn Jung-hwan's team on JTBC's variety show 'Let's Play Soccer 4'.
In the 28th episode aired on the 19th, Lim Young-woong's 'Returns FC' faced Ahn Jung-hwan's 'Fantasy All-Stars' in a revenge match.
Last year, Lim Young-woong's team secured a dominant 4-0 victory. This time, Lim returned to the field as a player instead of a coach. MC Kim Sung-joo recalled that Ahn Jung-hwan proposed a rematch after the previous game, citing unfinished business. Ahn Jung-hwan humorously added, "I still have a grudge from losing then. I haven't paid off my loan yet."
Over the past year, 'Returns FC' has grown into a league championship team, with Lim Young-woong emerging as the top scorer with 33 goals in 30 games. However, the match did not go as planned. The team conceded an early goal and struggled to find their rhythm, eventually losing 3-1 after the 'Fantasy All-Stars' scored additional goals.
Post-match, Lim Young-woong candidly admitted, "It was a complete defeat. They were too well-prepared and we couldn't break through." When Ahn Jung-hwan proposed another match, Lim replied with a smile, "If given the chance, I'll come back for the final showdown."
Lim Young-woong, who moves audiences as a singer and shows fighting spirit as a leader, has fans eagerly anticipating his strategy for a potential third match against Ahn Jung-hwan.
Netizens expressed mixed reactions, with comments like, "It's a shame Lim Young-woong lost, but I hope they win next time," "Ahn Jung-hwan's revenge was satisfying to watch," and "Looking forward to coach Lim Young-woong's next strategy."
