In a highly anticipated episode of JTBC's 'Challengers Wanted 4', coach Park Hang-seo's team, Papakloss, and coach Lee Dong-gook's Lionhearts, played to a dramatic 1-1 draw.

The broadcast on the 7th featured a tense showdown between Lionhearts, the current league leaders, and Papakloss, who have been on a strong upward trajectory, currently sitting in third place. Lee Dong-gook expressed his determination, stating his intention to field his best lineup for the match.

Papakloss, steadily climbing the ranks under Park Hang-seo's guidance, showed a different mettle. Lee Seo-han even scored the opening goal with a skillful free-kick. Despite Lee Dong-gook's constant tactical instructions, the match, played in heavy rain, proved challenging.

As a somber mood began to set in, Han Eun-seong rallied his teammates, saying, "Let's not get discouraged. We're going to win anyway." In the second half, Lionhearts struggled to find momentum. However, during stoppage time, Lee Jang-gun, assisted by Lee Shin-gi, managed to score the equalizer, resulting in both teams taking home one point.

Meanwhile, Han Eun-seong also garnered significant attention for his surprise wedding announcement on the 6th. His fiancée is reportedly a flight attendant, and after a long period of dating, he humbly shared the news of their upcoming marriage. Han Eun-seong recently left a memorable impression with his acting as Shin Hye-sun's ex-boyfriend in the drama 'Welcome to Samdalri'.

Park Hang-seo, often nicknamed 'Asia's Guus Hiddink,' is renowned for his transformative leadership of the Vietnam national football team, leading them to victory in the 2018 AFF Championship. His inspiring journey and coaching philosophy have been documented in the book 'The Coach.'
