Park Hang-seo Bets on VAR with 35 Years of Coaching Instinct in 'Let's Get It Together 4'

Park Hang-seo, the head coach of 'FC Papaclos', is placing a crucial bet on VAR, relying on his instincts honed over 35 years of coaching experience, in the upcoming episode of JTBC's representative sports entertainment show, 'Let's Get It Together 4' (hereafter 'Let's Get It Together 4').

The 23rd episode, airing on September 7th, will feature a third-round showdown between Park Hang-seo's 'FC Papaclos' and Lee Dong-gook's 'Lionhearts FC'. Expectations are high as Park Hang-seo, who has lost to Lee Dong-gook in their previous two encounters, aims to turn the tide.

Park Hang-seo candidly shared his struggles, saying, "Lately, the most common comments I hear are 'Why do you always lose?' and 'Why are you always angry?'" However, 'FC Papaclos' has broken free from its losing streak and is now on an undefeated run, showing a completely transformed team. This resurgence is reflected in Park Hang-seo's renewed confidence.

His confidence is also evident during the match. When Kim Jin-jja went down near the opponent's penalty box after a challenge with Gaogai, the referee and commentators let the play continue. However, Park Hang-seo, with his sharp eyes, noticed the situation and called for a VAR review. Kim Jin-jja protested, "It wasn't a foul this time," but Park Hang-seo firmly stood his ground, demanding a review with unwavering conviction.

This isn't Park Hang-seo's first time using VAR to overturn a decision; he previously did so in a match against Ahn Jung-hwan's 'FC Fantasista' during a clash between Huh Min-ho and Guevara. This latest VAR appeal is poised to be a pivotal moment that could decide the outcome of the match. Viewers are keenly anticipating whether his 35 years of coaching intuition will prove successful once again.

Fans can witness Park Hang-seo's passionate drive for victory and the results of his VAR call on JTBC's 'Let's Get It Together 4' this Sunday, September 7th, at 7:10 PM.

Park Hang-seo is a celebrated figure in Vietnamese football, having led the national team to victory in the 2018 AFF Championship and the quarterfinals of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, earning him the nickname 'Seagulls' and national hero status. His coaching prowess was so recognized that even after stepping down as head coach in 2023, he was offered the position of Vice President of the Vietnam Football Federation, highlighting the immense respect he commands there. He is currently reigniting his coaching passion by appearing on JTBC's variety show 'Let's Get It Together 4'.
