The production team of JTBC‘s ‘Let’s Eat Dinner Together 4’ revealed some key points to watch ahead of the first broadcast.

‘Let‘s Eat Dinner Together 4’ (abbreviated as ‘Mungchan 4’) will feature the ‘Fantasy League’, the first-ever 11 vs. 11 official soccer league match in South Korean entertainment. Soccer legends Ahn Jung-hwan, Park Hang-seo, Kim Nam-il, and Lee Dong-gook will take on the roles of coaches for each team and show a battle of strategies.

The production team explained the differences in ‘Mungchan 4’, saying, “The biggest difference is that the four legendary coaches have to compete for rankings with their names on the line. “Until last season, they competed as one team against a common enemy, but this time, they have to compete against each other.”

Then, about the ‘Fantasy League’ method, “After each match, the team rankings are determined based on the win or loss. There will also be special events between each round, and a humiliating penalty will be given to the team that comes in last in the league based on the final results.” This raises attention about what events will be held and what the penalty will be.


A fierce competition is expected to take place in order to take first place, and also to avoid fourth place. The production team said, “The close competition for rankings with the pride of the four coaches on the line will likely be the biggest point of interest in ‘Mungchan 4’,” adding, “You will also be able to personally experience the soccer skills of celebrities who were only rumored to be ‘good at kicking the ball’. As it is a league match, individual records such as the most goals and most assists among the 56 players will stand out even more. “Please look forward to the celebrity soccer rankings that will be newly defined through the ‘Fantasy League’,” he said, conveying the points to watch.

There is also a lot of interest in the 56 players participating in the ‘Fantasy League’. The production team focused attention by saying, “The ‘Fantasy League’ has grown in scale, so there are many players to watch. During the entrance test, the 56 players competed fiercely to appeal, and the four coaches fought loudly to pick the players they liked.”

He continued, “First, actor Lee Ji-hoon left a strong impression with favorable reviews for his solid fundamentals and stable shooting. Also, rookie actor Kim Soo-kyum, who has recently been getting attention for his villainous character in a drama, was considered a player with high potential for development due to his top-notch trapping skills,” he said, introducing actors with surprising soccer skills.

Also, “In addition, creator Australian Tarzan, who has been getting attention for his aggressive playing style, Lee Yong-woo from ‘Brother and Sister in Love’, who has been said to have a physique perfect for soccer, and Hikari from the idol group Fantasy Boys, who was active as a soccer player in Japan, are also noteworthy,” and “In addition, there is a semi-professional actor who has caught the eye as a rising scene-stealer, although his name cannot be revealed yet. I think he might be the best soccer player among the actors. Here, a large number of players who will further raise the level of the league have joined,” he said, raising expectations.

Lastly, the production team said to the fans who have been eagerly waiting for ‘Mungchan 4’, “The ‘Mungchan’ series, which first started in 2019, is already in its 7th year. We would like to thank the viewers who love the ‘Mungchan’ series,” and added, “This ‘Fantasy League’ has been prepared so that people of all ages can enjoy soccer in an easy and close way. I hope you enjoy soccer by cheering on your favorite teams, just like you cheered on our country while watching the World Cup.”

In addition, “The four teams are already fiercely competing ahead of the new league match. The participating players are also serious about soccer, to the point that they are pestering the coaches to make more team training schedules as well as individual training,” he said, raising viewers’ expectations by saying, “We are also very excited to see what kind of colors each team will show in the future and which team will win after the fierce competition. With four legendary coaches and soccer powerhouses from the entertainment industry all gathered together, we plan to show a variety of fun, so please show lots of interest and support.”

‘United We Can Cool 4’ will first air on Sunday the 6th at 7:10 PM.
