Legendary Strikers Unite! 'Shooting Stars 2' Takes on the K3 League Challenge

Retired football legends are stepping back onto the field to challenge the K3 League in the highly anticipated return of Coupang Play's entertainment program, 'Shooting Stars 2'. After achieving promotion with a strong 5 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses against K4 League teams in Season 1, FC Shooting Stars has returned after a 7-month hiatus, ready to face tougher opponents in the K3 League.

Under the guidance of Director Park Ji-sung and Coach Choi Yong-soo, former national team legends are reigniting their passion on the pitch. While their stamina may not match their prime, they aim to showcase high-level gameplay through their seasoned skills and experience. 'Shooting Stars 2' is not just about reminiscing past glories; it's about proving that 'age is just a number' through genuine competition in every match.

This season, the comeback story of legends like Koo Ja-cheol is generating significant buzz. Having left the field with regret due to injury before his retirement, he has laced up his boots again, displaying sharp instincts and signaling a resurgence. Witnessing his growth is set to be another compelling narrative that 'Shooting Stars 2' will deliver.

With the players' intense competitive spirit and deeply moving stories, 'Shooting Stars 2' is poised to break new ground in sports entertainment. The show airs every Friday at 8 PM on Coupang Play.

Koo Ja-cheol was a key player in the 2012 London Olympics, where he helped South Korea achieve its first-ever Olympic medal in football (bronze). He captained the South Korean national team, demonstrating excellent leadership and performance on the field. He is currently appearing in 'Shooting Stars 2', reigniting his passion as a player.
