'Can you tell me some exercises?' Or 'Can you recommend a protein supplement?'.
I heard that this is the favorite phrase of fitness enthusiasts.
Sure enough, Kim Jung-guk started to show interest.
"Our Hoyoung is too young to eat something like that. Still, there's nothing wrong with knowing, so should I talk to you?"
"yes. If possible, couldn't you tell me about exercise?!"
Kim Jung-guk smiled brightly.
That was enough of an answer.
[Choose the talent you want to pursue.]
-The solid muscles of a gymnast (C)
-The thin voice of a ballad singer (C)
'Of course it's electronic!'
Even if a soccer player were to acquire a weak voice, what would he use it for?
Hoyoung happened to kick the ball with Kim Jung-guk for an hour and gained a new talent.
[Woo Ho-young]
Talents
– Soccer gifted (B)
– Quite a heavy mid-distance shot (C)
– Strong muscles of a gymnast (C)
I already feel like my muscles have become stronger.
Although it wasn't an athlete's muscle, it was clear that this would also help a lot.
"Oh, thank you. "I wonder if you wasted your time because of our child…"
"No. I had a good time too. These days, I don't have a schedule anyway, so I just exercise. haha."
It was a special time for Kim Jung-guk, who especially loves children.
It was my first time seeing a child show interest in health knowledge.
Two weeks after that.
"Hoyoung! done! it's okay!"
After hanging up the phone at home, Woo Hwang-seon picked up Ho-young and spun him around in place.
"Aaaah! "Dad, I'm dizzy!"
"Hahaha! "I'm proud of my son!"
There is only one reason why Woo Hwang-seon is so happy.
"Did you get a call from MBS? "I heard that Shooting Stone was chosen?"
"Yes, Inseok! Hahaha!"
September 16, 2002.
It was the moment when Hoyoung's name was proudly listed as a member of Shootdori.
'That's it!'
The slope exploded.
"honey! Come quickly! "Our Hoyoung was chosen!"
Woo Hwang-seon, who was somehow more excited than Ho-young, shouted urgently.
The sound of cutting from the kitchen stopped and Kim Hee-seon, brandishing an apron, hurriedly came running.
"Is that true?"
"That's right! "I heard they even give me an appearance fee!"
"Oh my god…!"
The couple hugged each other and ran around like children.
"If this continues, won't our Hoyoung become a celebrity?"
"Oh hohong. "Are you saying that?"
'I'm going to become a soccer player…?'
Hoyoung swallowed those words and enjoyed the joy.
Even though I had already guessed that I would be selected, I felt an exhilarating sense of catharsis.
Isn't this the first feat achieved since returning to the past?
But even that was a moment of tension.
'This is my first time appearing on a broadcast.'
That's also the main axis.
I couldn't control my trembling heart at the fact that I was a main cast member rather than a regular cast member.
Moreover, the fact that it was a program that would heat up the public added to the excitement.
'You're not going to fail because of me, right?'
Oh no way.
I would have done more. Shootdori will never fail at the box office.
It wasn't arrogance, it was confidence.
'It will definitely succeed!!'
No matter what happens, all you have to do is let the world know about your skills.
Fan club? advertisement?
That doesn't matter right now.
These are things that naturally follow if you succeed as a soccer player.
There is no need for everything, there is only one goal.
It's soccer.
Hoyoung closed his eyes and made a promise.
A fresh grass stadium came to mind.
Wembley!
Old Trafford!
Nou Camp!
Santiago Bernabeu!
How would it feel to kick the ball in that grand field while receiving the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators?
Isn't it heartbreaking just to think about it?
'haha!'
Just imagining it made my heart tremble.
But the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
"Dad, I'm going to kick a ball."
Whether it was broadcasting or not, skill came first.
There are many Messis and Ronaldos in the world.
But only in my head.
In my head, I can already do a one-man show and score a hat trick, but when I actually play soccer, my body doesn't keep up.
That's why.
"You have to start with the basics!"
This is because there is no basic skill.
And the most basic of the basics is definitely lifting.
The key is to kick the ball up with your foot and not let it drop to the ground.
It is a foot movement that requires a lot of concentration and repeated practice.
Even Maradona, the god of soccer, took baby steps like this at first.
Slowly, one step at a time.
container! container!
Hoyoung, who was lifting the ball, grinned.
I quickly became out of breath, but there was no sign of exhaustion.
Now this all felt fun.
Because I realized that my skills were improving every day.
"This is the talent of a gifted person!"
hope.
That ignited Hoyoung's desire.
"Go 1000 more times!"
"Hak haak…!"
In the afternoon, I went around the playground for physical training.
This is because soccer is basically a physical battle.
Whether you have good footwork or good shooting ability, if you don't have physical strength before that, you're in trouble.
However, I did not overdo it so as not to hinder growth.
After completing eight laps of the playground, I lay down on the sand.
"Shootdori. "I am in control!!"
It was Hoyoung's bold plan.
After that day.
Hoyoung acted like a knife according to the schedule he had set.
Always go to bed before 10pm.
I woke up like lightning at 6 a.m. and stretched for 30 minutes.
Just because I only grew up to 170cm in my previous life, there was no way I could do that in this life as well.
If you take good care of yourself from a young age, you may be able to surpass 180.
And in the morning, I ate a bowl of rice and went for a jog.
After school, I improved my skills by kicking a ball on the playground.
Eat and exercise.
It was literally like that.
As the days continued like that, the day of the photo shoot dawned before I knew it.
Click click!
Cameras filled everywhere.
So many cameras were shooting their flashes at the children that I started to feel anxious.
There were a total of ten members of the shooting group, and among the children who were fascinated by the camera, there was one who was particularly nervous.
"Hoyoung. are you okay?"
"yes…!"
The reason Hoyoung was nervous was not because of the camera, but because of the upcoming match.
The first evaluation match begins 4 hours after filming.
The highlight portion of the first episode aired on October 23rd was scheduled to be recorded soon.
Hoyoung had been waiting for this moment all day.
The opponent was none other than the most prestigious academy in Korea, 'Cha Bum-gon Soccer Class'.
Before starting the recording, PD Choi spoke to Chaboom FC's coach.
"Coach. "Please push me hard from the beginning."
I asked them not to watch over me at all and to destroy the shooting team, and to make the kids frustrated because it's okay if the score is 20-0.
Shootdori's opponent was the Cha Beom-gon Soccer School, one of the most prestigious schools, so there was nothing they couldn't do.
All of this was PD Choi's idea.
The bitter defeat brings tears to children's eyes and makes viewers feel sorry and empathize with them.
However, it is overcome through consistent training and effort.
A truly touching story!
The corners of PD Choi's mouth rose.
Meanwhile, I saw Hoyoung warming up.
'If that little boy does well, there will be no other icing on the cake.'
Shootdori attracted viewers' attention right from the promotional video.
In particular, the test conducted by Kim Jung-guk and Ho-young at the audition venue.
Kim Jung-guk saw it. Since there was a lot of gossip, I was planning to focus on Ho-young in the upcoming match.
'If by some miracle one goal is scored, it would be a perfect picture.'
A glimmer of hope blooming in despair!
It was the best scenario to evoke emotion.
But the possibility of that was too slim.
No matter how good Hoyoung is, soccer is a team game.
Moreover, the opponent is an elite member of Cha Beom-gon's soccer class, which has a professional training system.
FC Cha Boom!
Although they were similar in age, their physical differences were also significant.
Even if I was good at it on my own, it wasn't something worth doing.
'You have to hope for what you want.'
As I was finishing my thoughts, the assistant director approached me.
"PD Choi! "It's on standby!"
"okay. "Let's go in."
The size of the stadium was 1/6 of the original soccer stadium.
The players who entered the mini stadium shook hands with each other and took their respective positions.
It's a kid's game, but they do everything they can.
There was a large audience consisting of parents as well as referees.
Plus the commentators.
[hello. This is the third stadium of the Yongin City Soccer Center, and a historic match will soon take place. The first match of FC Shootdori, which was launched to dominate children's soccer teams across the country, will be held. FC Shootdori's players actually have some differences, right?]
[It's serious. It's very harsh.]
[Hahaha! Since today is the first warm-up match, shouldn't it be meaningful to play?]
[That's right. Even if you lose today, you will learn a lesson from Chaboom FC.]
While MBS announcer Choi Seong-don and comedian Kim Byeong-jin were joking around, the female referee threw a coin to decide who would go first.
"Oh yea!"
The back.
As soon as the team's preemptive attack was decided, the FC Shootdori children just laughed and said that it was good.
They were just so excited about the idea of running around.
And the game started after the angle captured the coaches of each team shaking hands.
Beep!
Game starts.
Rather than suffocating tension, a look of satisfaction was dominant.
What is there to see in a game where kids are running around?
All you have to do is look at them cutely as they run around or admire their occasional antics.
But who would have known?
The fact is that Hoyoung will shoot as soon as the whistle blows.
OK.
Crash!
The ball hit from the halfway line shook the net.
And that too, just one second after it started.
"Ugh…"
"… PD Choi?"
"Uh… uh… what is this?"
Either way, Hoyoung was running somewhere with a big smile on his face.
"Where is he?!"
The place where Hoyoung was running at full speed was under Jimmy's house, which stretched high into the sky.
"Don't miss it! "Get focus!"
At that moment, Hoyoung leaped high into the sky with all his might.
And then.
"downpour!!"
As soon as I landed, I spread my arms wide.
It was an imitation of Ronaldo's goal celebration, which was most popular in the distant future!
'This ceremony is now mine.'
It was Hoyoung who not only coveted talent.
