Volleyball Legends Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik, Kim Yo-han Launch Celebrity Team for MBN's 'Spike War'

Legends of Korean men's volleyball are joining forces to create a celebrity volleyball team.

MBN is set to launch its new sports entertainment show, 'Spike War,' on Sunday, November 30th, at 9:30 PM.

'Spike War' will showcase a thrilling volleyball battle among stars on an 18x9 meter court, with the ultimate goal of a Korea-Japan showdown. The program, following a six-month preparation period, promises to captivate viewers.

The show features volleyball icons Kim Se-jin, Shin Jin-sik, and Kim Yo-han, who will lead the first-ever South Korean celebrity volleyball team. Kim Se-jin, a 'world star' who dominated the golden era of men's volleyball in the 1990s, will serve as the team's director, overseeing the squad. Shin Jin-sik, known as the 'Brown Bomber' and 'Scoring Machine,' and Kim Yo-han, adored as the 'Crown Prince of Volleyball,' will each take on coaching roles for their respective teams.

The return of these V-League legends, not as players but as director and coaches, adds significant weight to the program. With 2025 marking the 20th anniversary of professional volleyball's launch in Korea, 'Spike War' is expected to capitalize on the public's recent surge of interest in the sport.

Coaches Shin Jin-sik and Kim Yo-han aim to discover hidden talents within the entertainment industry who possess a knack for volleyball, sparking curiosity about which new star players will emerge. Furthermore, various other volleyball legends are slated to appear as special coaches, enhancing the celebrity team's capabilities. Their participation is another key aspect to watch.

MCs Lee Soo-geun and Boom will take on the roles of team captains, utilizing their signature charm and hosting skills to boost the players' morale. The show anticipates drawing in not only avid volleyball fans but also viewers unfamiliar with the sport, heralding the birth of a universally enjoyable sports entertainment program.

Get ready for the explosive return of volleyball legends and the establishment of a celebrity team in MBN's 'Spike War,' premiering Sunday, November 30th, at 9:30 PM.

Netizens are expressing high anticipation, commenting things like, 'It's amazing to see these volleyball legends on TV,' 'A celebrity volleyball team sounds so fresh! Wonder who the members will be?', and 'Let's bring back the volleyball craze!'
