Coach Ahn Jung-hwan and Coach Kim Nam-il reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the 2002 World Cup.

The JTBC show ‘Let‘s Eat Dinner Together 3’, which will air on the 12th, will show the ‘Somehow New Avengers’, who are about to conquer the ‘Early-morning Soccer TOP 100’, conducting a mock penalty shootout. Coach Ahn Jung-hwan experienced the bitterness of defeat in a penalty shootout against ‘Early-morning Soccer Ranking No. 1’ Shinjeju Soccer Club two years ago, so attention is focused on whether he will be able to overcome it through this mock test.

Meanwhile, Coach Ahn Jung-hwan adds interest by revealing the behind-the-scenes story of the 2002 World Cup ahead of the mock penalty shootout. He emphasizes the importance of the position of the most reliable player in the team as the number one penalty kicker, and boasts, “Coach Hiddink made me the number one kicker during the 2002 World Cup.”


He then captures everyone’s attention by revealing evidence from the secret notebook of Coach Park Hang-seo, who was the head coach at the time, where his name was written as “An,” referring to himself. Coach Kim Nam-il, who was next to him, also acknowledges Coach Ahn Jung-hwan’s penalty kick skills, saying, “Hyung Jung-hwan was always number one,” and upon hearing this, Nam Woo-hyun exclaims, “That means he’s number one in Korea,” eliciting admiration.

Coach Kim Nam-il, who earned the nickname “vacuum cleaner” for his powerful plays, surprises the players by revealing a story that no one knows. When coach Ahn Jung-hwan revealed, “Coach Kim Nam-il was the 9th kicker out of 11,” coach Kim Nam-il confessed his feelings at the time for the first time in 23 years, saying, “I went to see coach Hiddink because I was not confident,” making people even more curious about the story.

The broadcast will be on the 12th at 7:10 PM.
