He enthusiastically accepted the offer, proclaiming his immediate commitment and expressing his affection for volleyball, describing it as a 'very sexy sport.' His fanboy persona shone through when he mentioned his fondness for the team name, 'Victory Wonderdogs,' due to its connection with his past admiration for the girl group Wonder Girls.

The teaser also previews an unpredictable 'tiki-taka' dynamic between Coach Kim Yeon-koung and Seungkwan from their first meeting. Coach Kim's playful teasing, questioning if he was a fan of a rival team or cheering for SEVENTEEN's Hoshi, elicited a flustered yet amusing reaction from Seungkwan.

On the court, Seungkwan's dedication as a manager was evident as he diligently performed various tasks, from fetching water upon Coach Kim's urgent requests to handling player needs.

This acknowledgment marked a significant moment for Seungkwan, solidifying his role with apparent high job satisfaction.

Furthermore, Seungkwan actively contributed as the team's mood-maker, rallying support and engaging in fan service to boost morale. A sudden moment captured by the broadcast camera showed Seungkwan secretly interacting with fans in the stands, leading Coach Kim to playfully scold him, 'Hey, are you here to play?' This humorous exchange and Seungkwan's panicked expression have heightened viewer curiosity.

Fans can look forward to Seungkwan's energetic and potentially chaotic performance as the 'vice-manager' and vital energy source for the 'Victory Wonderdogs' in 'Coach Kim Yeon-koung,' which airs on the 28th at 9:10 PM KST.
