『The Crisis of Ki-Young Park ended with an Happening!』
『A defeat that became a medicine! Overwhelming performance after the first defeat!』
『Hong Min-joon sets another record!』

Headlines popping up one by one on the black screen are pounding.

“Hello everyone. As we announced, today is Han So-young’s Football in Love World Cup special!”

The dark screen brightened and appeared as Han So-young, who showed off her gorgeous beauty.

—Why did we abandon why did we abandon why did we abandon
— Why is this person so pretty?
-Merge? Was Han So-young originally like this?
—Ah haha ​​I got a camera massage haha ​​I don’t know if it’s plastic surgery?
—Let’s find the beginner’s mind, Soyoung-ah, please watch the broadcast cycle!!!
—What kind of plastic surgery? Han So-young has never taken a break from broadcasting 5 days a week haha
—It’s so sad that Soyoung, my own little Han, was also beaten by Minjun Hong.
—I heard that you are in a relationship with Hong Min-joon, so it seems like you decorated it well?

A chat window that goes up in an instant.
It was Han So-young’s broadcast, which is usually called ‘big company’ and boasts a large number of viewers, but it is unusually many today because it was her first broadcast during the World Cup.

Isn’t it Han So-young, who abandoned broadcasting and left for Spain for local intuition, with the excitement of the past that Hong Min-joon’s first World Cup victory intuition cannot be missed.

In the meantime, she has been doing her live broadcasts, but to her fans, it’s just her bare feet peeing.
In addition, there are many newbies snooping around Football in Love, the most recognizable football club in the midst of the World Cup special, so it was a natural result that the first broadcast of the World Cup season attracted the highest number of viewers.

“What is this… How many viewers are there? Did everyone wait for me?”

Starting from a relationship with Hong Min-joon when he was unknown, dating rumors, official recognition, and for some reason, after dating Hong Min-joon, his beauty rises as the days go by.

Han So-young, the world’s most famous football-related figure,’s ‘Football in Love’ was well suited for the World Cup.

— Soyoungie,,,Geo,,, Please keep broadcasting~~~@@@
—It’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold
—Cut some of the ㅅ1ㄲ
—Waiting for foot in love

Han So-young, frightened at the chat window that popped up as if her bomb had exploded, quickly nodded her head.

“Ah, ah, calm down, guys. Well, not nice everyone calm down It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so it’s not a fuss.”
—Yeah, baby eyes, give me your heart
— So-Young, the Ngae Dispenser, what the heck? 〈— you go out
—Analyze it quickly, buck buck
“Yes, you are not allowed to chat. I’m quietly watching over there. Alright then, today’s topic is as you saw on the welcome screen! Dugudugu~ It’s World Cup analysis time~!”
—Minjun Hong Isn’t that an analysis?
“Ah~ Of course Minjun is… No, analysis of Hong Min-jun is also a plus.”
—I don’t like calling names just because we’re dating.
—Eyes or jealousy…

It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten used to the enthusiastic reactions of my listeners.
Coolly ignoring the whining listeners, Han So-yeong moved her chair slightly to the side.

“Before we start, I would like to introduce a guest~ Coach Han Ji-hoon, who served as the former head coach of Ulsan Hyundai and the head coach of the Sydney Olympic team where Hong Min-joon played an active part~ Everyone applauds~”
“Hello. So-Young is her father, Han Ji-Hoon.”
—Wow~~ Father appears again~~
— Clap clap clap~~
—Isn’t this just a regular guest? Really don’t know
—If you give me your father’s daughter, I’ll be happy. 〈- What are you doing?
“Yeah, don’t be fooled. If you get caught one more time, you will be kicked out.”

Even though the chat window is constantly going up, Han So-yeong, who skillfully picks out words, is leading, and it takes about 5 minutes to proceed smoothly.

“Now then, shall we start the analysis broadcast? First of all, congratulations to the Korean national team for advancing to the round of 16. Although they were defeated by the Netherlands, they advanced to the round of 16 with a 2-1 record and 2nd place in their group with landslide victories against Colombia and Algeria. Coach Jihoon Han. What impressed you the most?”
“Anyway, it’s director Park Ki-young’s perseverance.”
“Perseverance?”
“You lost in the first game and were attacked for ‘providing a clue to defeat with an early replacement’. But since we got the win in the 2nd and 3rd games, it was really great to give Hong Min-jun and other key players a break like a knife.”

After the come-from-behind defeat against the Netherlands, the early replacement of national team coach Park Ki-young became a hot topic.
The early replacement of key players, including Hong Min-jun, was pointed out as the cause of the defeat, and he was criticized for being arrogant, conceited, and unprofessional, but Park Ki-young’s perseverance did not break.

In the second game, against Colombia, they had an early victory, so they replaced Hong Min-jun and Seol Yo-han at the same time in the 20th minute of the second half, and in the third game, Algeria, they replaced Hong Min-jun and Hwang Jun-su in the 31st minute, paying attention to their stamina.

“The result against the Netherlands was a bit disappointing, but there was no problem with coach Park Ki-young’s replacement timing. Look. It wasn’t long before we lost our first run.”
—ㅅㅅ Because I was caught with a famous general and Min-Jun Hong was taken out for no reason, it was applied to the Netherlands
—When I think about it, it feels like shit again haha ​​If it wasn’t for that, I would have risen to first place in the group.

The chat window started to burn quickly at Han Ji-hoon’s defense of director Park Ki-young, but Han So-young skillfully handled it.

“Yes, I was unlucky in the first game, but in the second and third games, I was able to save the stamina of key players with proper substitutions.”
“Right. Especially in the case of Minjun, you started the season earlier than others because you participated in the Olympics. Besides, I reached the finals in every competition I participated in. Minjunie’s stamina has improved a lot lately, but he’s not a player with good stamina. The durability is good, but the absolute number itself was not high.”
“It’s unfortunate that we lost 1 game, but we won 4-1 against Colombia and 5-0 against Algeria, and the players’ stamina was preserved, so it’s a good result!”
“If we only cared about the group stage, or if the goal was to advance to the round of 16, if we aim for more than that, the stamina of the key players is also an important factor. You may not know these little things now, but they will show through as you progress through the tournament.”
-Oh… Sounds plausible to hear
—You packaged it like this?
—Jnn Park Ki-young, he just got a famous general
—Hong Min-joon Isn’t this the King of Steel?
—But the result is 2nd place? But the result is 2nd place? But the result is 2nd place?
— It’s more like a dream than a dream haha

Unlike Han Ji-hoon, who had already given up on checking the contents of the chat window, which went up so fast that it was difficult to distinguish the letters, Han So-young, a proficient broadcaster, caught the necessary chatting even in the middle of it.

“Isn’t Hong Min-joon in good shape?”
“Huh? You know—”
“Greatness!”
“Ahhh.”

Han Ji-hoon, who realized that he was on the air again, glanced at the cam and continued talking.

“Minjun has excellent durability and resilience. That’s why he doesn’t get injured easily, and his physical recovery is fast. But he doesn’t have good absolute stamina, so his form would drop in the second half.”
“It was a physical fitness test record during the Olympic team, right?”
“That’s right. But looking at it these days, my stamina has greatly improved. Now, I don’t know how much I’ve grown because I don’t know the results of the detailed test, but it’s okay just by looking at it. I don’t know anything else, but physical strength is hard work, right? Just looking at his stamina, you can see how much effort he put in.”

As expected of the greatest superstar, when the story of Hong Min-joon came out, the chat window went wild.
Professional introvert Han So-young snatched the opportunity like a hawk that found its prey.

“Come to think of it, our Minjun… Player, there was an article here.”
〈 Minjun Hong Set another record!〉

Headlines popping up all over the screen again.

“Question here. Does anyone know what record the article is talking about?”
—Kya~ It seems that Seobang took care of it from the beginning.
—Queen of housekeeper mode on
—Nunna… I’m jealous… My body is getting black…
—Unicorn in real-time blacking haha
—Ah~ I saw that article, but what was that record?
— Let me tell you! What is Hong Min-joon’s record?
“Yes, I will tell you. What kind of record is it~ It’s the World Cup MOM.”

Articles floating on the screen.

『Hong Min-joon sets another record!』
『Legendary Park Ji-Sung surpasses in only two World Cup appearances』

“If you look at it like this, you may not get a good feeling. I can only feel it when I compare these things to the original.”

At the smile of Han So-young, who grinned while looking at the cam—

—I’m dying~~~
— 1 seed 1 dollar… Look at the color
—This is the lust of a woman in love… ?

The bad guys trembled, but Han So-young ignored it, and Han Ji-hoon was in a state of mind that he couldn’t even read in the fast-paced chatting.

“Legend of Korean soccer! Park Ji-sung recorded World Cup MOM 4 times. This is, of course, Korea’s No. 1 record, and even in Asia, only Japan’s Honda player has the same 4 times. If so, how about globally? Don’t be surprised Globally, it is tied for fifth place!”

Ready data pops up.

“Including Park Ji-sung, the four winners of the MOM in the World Cup are Honda, Harry Kane, Neymar, Hazard, Klose, James Rodriguez, Thomas Müller, and Wesley Snyder. How is it? Aren’t you a legend that everyone knows just by hearing the name?”

Han So-young emphasized by adding highlights to the list of players who all boast outstanding names.

“Hong Min-joon is already in the 5th World Cup MOM. Do you know how great this is? Mbappe, Modric, and Suarez are the only 5 MOMs in the World Cup. It’s a tie, but it’s ranked 4th in the world.”
—Kya~ 4th place in the world? … Too weak
—Hong Min-joon is so simple when he comes in 4th place haha
—It’s useless if it’s not 1st place~

Even with Han So-young’s emphasis, the world’s 4th place ‘stuff’ is not enough for viewers who are accustomed to Wallcle Hong Min-joon.
However, Han So-young, a professional defense player, was not taken aback. She has several years of experience in broadcasting, but can she not anticipate the reaction of viewers?

“This is not the end, listen carefully. But everyone You know what’s even more surprising?”
— Mol? Lou
— I don’t know, so tell me quickly
—Anmulangung
— Hmmm~~ Soyoung is so heartbroken and so coveted (This is a deleted comment)
“Hong Min-jun said that this is only his second World Cup. That’s still in progress! I know that? It seems like a lot because it’s the 2nd, but in fact, Hong Min-jun has only played 7 World Cup games so far? In the last two group stage matches, the round of 16 and the quarterfinals. And this group stage 3 game.”

At the 2034 World Cup in Italy, Korea advanced to the semifinals.
Among the 6 matches from the group stage to the semifinals, Hong Min-joon participated in a total of 4 matches, including the 1st and 2nd matches of the group stage, as well as the round of 16 and the quarterfinals.

He missed the last game of the group stage by confirming his advance to the round of 16 early, and missed the semifinal due to an injury suffered in the quarterfinal match against Italy, so he only participated in four games.

And in this World Cup, there are 7 matches including 3 matches in the group stage.

“Okay? He received 5 MOMs in 7 games! Even at the World Cup! How is it?”
— So what?
—Hong Min-joon It’s not like once or twice, there’s no inspiration~
— Yes, let’s go!
— How to do it, how about it
—Kya~~ You know Minjun Hong~ 5 MOM in 7 matches! Vs. Da. Me. Da!
—Yeah, baby, give me your heart, buck buck

Viewers were stunned.

—So when do you do the analysis?
“Oh right analysis!”
