JTBC’s ‘Let’s Eat Dinner Together 4 ‘players showed off their skills to the coaches through tests.

In the second episode of’ Let’s Eat Dinner Together 4 ‘(abbreviated as’ Mungchan ‘) that aired on the 13th, the’ soccer sense ‘verification test prepared by coach Kim Nam-il and the’ shooting ability ‘verification test prepared by coach Ahn Jung-hwan were depicted.The players’ appearance of appealing their skills based on their sincerity towards soccer left a strong impression on the coaches.

First, the ‘physical’ verification test prepared by coach Park Hang-seo continued after the first episode that day.Among them, the match between Khan, the top of the national hip hop team, and Cha Sun-woo, who drew with a thigh wrestling match with Ahn Jung-hwan, drew attention.Khan won after a close match, but while Ahn Jung-hwan chose Khan as his first pick, Park Hang-seo chose Cha Sun-woo as his first pick.Kim Nam-il chose comedian Song Ha-bin, who played as an athlete until college, and Lee Dong-gook chose Kang Hyun-seok, a lacrosse player who played an active part in ‘Mungchan 3’, as his first pick.

Next, the ‘soccer sense’ test chosen by Director Kim Nam-il was conducted.This test, which involves trapping a ball that falls vertically from 15m in the air for the first time on a Korean broadcast, was so difficult that all the other directors, including Kim Nam-il, said, “It is a challenge that even professionals find difficult.” Huido, who was scouted by the soccer club when he was in elementary school, and Bang Ye-dam, who showed off his skills in the 2:1 decompression test, also failed, showing how difficult the test is.

At this time, coach Kim Nam-il himself stepped forward to demonstrate.Standing on the grass wearing a suit and shoes, he boldly shouted “Challenge” and proved his status as a legend.The 56 players could not help but be impressed as they watched the ball settle on Kim Nam-il’s foot.

The next player to challenge was Astro MJ, recommended by Cha Eun-woo.He said that he showed off his ability to trap with his head and chest, and he caught everyone’s attention by successfully completing a head trap.Although he failed at the chest trap, he also succeeded in the actual test item, foot trapping, and earned Park Hang-seo’s comment that he was “better than Kim Nam-il.”


Actor Kim Soo-kyum, who is emerging as a rising star, said, “I was trying to pursue a career in soccer when I was in elementary school, but I got into a car accident.After being hospitalized for 3-4 months, I got better and tried to start playing soccer, but I got into another car accident.So I thought soccer might not be the path for me, but I couldn’t give up my passion for soccer, so I continued playing club soccer,” appealing to his sincerity.

In particular, he sent a love call to Kim Nam-il, saying, “I want to be trained while getting ‘patta’ from coach Kim Nam-il,” which made people laugh.Other coaches began to covet him, as he succeeded in trapping with both feet cleanly.Park Hang-seo tried to recruit him himself, saying, “If I hit you with a ‘patta,’ will you come to me?” and Ahn Jung-hwan even chose him as his first-pick player after a ‘soccer sense’ test.

Guevara, who was considered the best ace of ‘Mungchan 3’ and a target of restraint by other players, showed his confidence before the test started by saying, “There is no player who restrains me.” And he lived up to his confidence by trapping the ball and placing it in the perfect gold spot, making everyone’s mouths drop.Accordingly, Park Hang-seo chose Guevara as his first pick.Lee Dong-gook chose actor Lee Jong-hyun, who boasts fast speed and outstanding throw-in skills, and Kim Nam-il chose Alberto, who played in the Serie 4 league, as his first pick.

The next test was Ahn Jung-hwan’s ‘shooting ability’ test.In this test, the ‘soccer idols’ were active.Cravity Serim, who received a scouted offer from a prestigious soccer school, left an impact with a perfect scissor kick, and Ha Sung-woon proved himself as an ‘idol Messi’ with accurate and fast shooting with both feet.In addition, Fantasy Boyz Hikari, who appeared with the keyword ‘J-League Mbappe ‘, proved his skills by succeeding in the goal-hit mission on his second try.

After all the tests were over, Kim Nam-il chose actor Lee Ji-hoon, a former scholarship student at a physical education university, as his first pick, and Lee Dong-gook chose Lee Seok-chan, the scoring leader from’ Somehow New Avengers’, as his first pick.Park Hang-seo and Ahn Jung-hwan drew attention by choosing Ha Sung-woon as their first picks, and rapper Noh Yoon-ha as their first picks.

It was a time when not only the coaches but also the viewers could not hide their surprise at the skills and passion shown by the 56 players.The players, who demonstrated their potential through various tests ranging from physical to soccer sense and shooting ability, left a strong impression on the coaches and raised expectations for the full-scale selection competition in the future.

Meanwhile, the trailer released at the end of the broadcast showed a jump test prepared by Director Lee Dong-guk and a soccer match on the ground where all abilities were demonstrated in real life.
