Actor Kim Hwan-hee, who captivated the nation with the iconic line "What's important?" from the film The Wailing, is joining the show Shooting Stars.
On the episode of SBS's Shooting Stars airing today, July 15, the second match of the single-elimination 2nd GIFA Cup will be held, and actor Kim Hwan-hee's first-ever challenge in soccer will be unveiled.
Kim Hwan-hee has joined FC Actionista, a traditional powerhouse on the show, and has officially thrown her hat into the ring for soccer. Expressing her thoughts on joining the team, Kim stated, "When I set a goal, I see it through to the end," showing her firm determination to contribute to the team's victory.
In particular, she revealed a unique anecdote about working out with national dodgeball team athletes during her high school years, demonstrating a competitive spirit worthy of a national athlete. With Kim having dedicated herself to high-intensity soccer training since joining, anticipation is building over whether she will emerge as an all-time great rookie who will shake up the show.
Kim Hwan-hee's addition has brought a major boost of energy to FC Actionista, which had previously held the title of the oldest team on the show. With the addition of Kim, a "2002 World Cup baby," the team's average age has dropped by two years. Touched by this, existing member Lee Young-ah created a humorous moment during their first meeting by mentioning, "I entered college in 2002," drawing a parallel to the year 2002 to build rapport. Head coach Park Joo-ho also did not hold back his praise for the new youngest member, saying, "She is a friend with such bright and positive energy." Attention is focused on what kind of fresh changes the "human vitamin" Kim Hwan-hee will bring to the team's atmosphere.
On the day of her fateful debut match, Kim Hwan-hee radiated her signature bright energy even in the unfamiliar and tense stadium, boosting the morale of her teammates. It is said that committee chairman Ha Seok-ju, who was watching the scene with interest from the stands, could not hide his admiration, remarking, "She is the most composed among all the players making their debut."
With 19 years of experience in acting, Kim Hwan-hee has signaled an extraordinary presence from her very first match. The intense debut match, which will show what kind of sensation she will create on the green field as the youngest member of FC Actionista, will be revealed on Shooting Stars, airing tonight, July 15, at 9 p.m.
