Singer Lim Young-woong Debuts as Football Manager on 'Look Together, Football 4'!

Global music sensation Lim Young-woong is set to make a surprising debut as a football manager.

On the 2nd, JTBC's entertainment program 'Look Together, Football 4' released a video titled 'Manager Lim Young-woong's Debut Diary' through its YouTube channel, chronicling his first challenge as a football coach. This unprecedented glimpse into Lim Young-woong's unfamiliar side as a football manager has captivated viewers.

Last year, Lim Young-woong led his team 'Returns FC' to a dominant 4-0 victory against 'Look Together, Football'. He had promised a rematch to coach Ahn Jung-hwan and the players, stating, "I will always be waiting." Now, one year later, he returns as manager Lim Young-woong to fulfill that promise.

The released video shows a nervous Lim Young-woong preparing for his debut match. While confident in front of large crowds on stage, he appeared visibly awkward in the players' waiting room, drawing attention. The 'KA League All-Star Team' he leads is composed of ace players from eight KA League teams, handpicked by him. While arranging the lineup, he expressed his enthusiasm as a rookie manager, asking, "Can't I be on the player roster too?"

However, any initial nervousness quickly vanished on the training field, where his managerial skills shone. He offered motherly, affectionate nagging to the players and even joined the field during practice matches to assess their skills. Lim Young-woong's unique 'player training method,' balancing strict criticism with warm encouragement, led the training session. Above all, he emphasized consideration and communication to foster teamwork.

Finally, Lim Young-woong issued a confident challenge to managers Ahn Jung-hwan, Kim Nam-il, and Lee Dong-gook, who lead the 'Fantasy League' All-Star Team: "I'm working hard too, so you managers should be nervous." This declaration has significantly heightened anticipation for the upcoming match.

Meanwhile, 'Look Together, Football 4,' featuring Lim Young-woong, is scheduled to air on Sunday, the 12th, at 7:10 PM.

Following the broadcast's preview, Korean netizens reacted enthusiastically, with comments like, "Manager Lim Young-woong, please take good care of our players!", "Young Woong is conquering football management now, just like he dominates the stage", and "Manager Lim Young-woong, we're already looking forward to it."
