SBS‘s Lunar New Year special ‘League of Legends’ will air on the 29th (Wed) and 30th (Thu). The birth of a new sports variety show following ‘Goal Kickers’ has been announced, and the key points to watch have been revealed.

● Archery legends gathered, is this it?!

Eight archery legends will be appearing in the Lunar New Year special ‘League of Legends’. Although they have retired from active duty, the lineup includes the strongest archers in our country who are comparable to current active players. All of the participating athletes have won gold medals in international competitions, including the Olympics, including Ki Bo-bae and Yoon Mi-jin, who won three Olympic gold medals in two Olympics, Jang Hye-jin, who won gold medals in the individual and team events at the ‘2016 Rio Olympics, Joo Hyun-jung, who won gold medals in the team event at the ‘2008 Beijing Olympics, Yoon Ok-hee, who won gold medals in the team event at the ‘2008 Beijing Olympics, Choi Hyun-joo, who won gold medals in the team event at the ‘2012 London Olympics, Lee Seong-jin, who won gold medals in the team event at the ‘2004 Athens Olympics and ‘2012 London Olympics, and Kim Moon-jung, who won gold medals in the team event at the ‘2002 Busan Asian Games’ and served as coach of the women’s archery team at the ‘2024 Paris Olympics. Eight players are scheduled to compete in the individual tournament.

● The active lineup is ‘no joke’

The ‘four active players’ who will work with legendary players through the team tournament are also a luxurious lineup. Ansan, who won gold medals in the team, mixed team, and individual events at the ‘2020 Tokyo Olympics’, Im Si-hyeon, who won three gold medals in the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’ and is currently ranked #1 in the world, Choi Mi-seon, the ‘eldest active player’ who garnered attention by winning the team team gold medal at the ‘2016 Rio Olympics’ and the team event gold medal at the ‘2022 Hangzhou Asian Games’, and Nam Su-hyeon, born in 2005, who has emerged as a new star by winning a gold medal in the team event and a silver medal in the individual event at the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’ will also be participating. With many current players joining the team, the ‘League of Legends’ has completed a combination that is reminiscent of the ‘National Team Selection Tournament’.

● Commentators are also national team-level

‘National team caster Bae Seong-jae, who has been in the spotlight for major international competitions such as the ‘Olympics’, the ‘World Cup’, as well as the sports entertainment show ‘Goal Kickers’, and the calm man who had a successful commentary debut with his extraordinary eloquence at the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’, the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’ men‘s recurve team event gold medalist Lee Woo-seok, will be teaming up. In the actual recording, the three presented another spectacle of ‘League of Legends’ with their fantastic chemistry that crossed over between broadcasting and entertainment, it is said.

In addition, the production team hired a ‘Black and White Chef’ filming set for this unprecedented match to create conditions reminiscent of an actual archery match, and they will also present ‘real archery’ that has never been seen before, such as holding the finals with a special device used in the national archery team selection.

‘League of Legends’ will air Part 1 on Wednesday, January 29 at 5:20 PM, and Part 2 on Thursday, January 30 at 5:10 PM.
