Sports and trot are the winners of this year’s New Year holidays. As the number of special editions or pilot productions decreased due to Corona 19, a safe card was used. Although there was no such topic as ‘2020 Korean Again Na Hoon-ah’, which exceeded 29.0% of viewer ratings (based on Nielsen Korea), and hit the last Chuseok holiday, SBS’Goal Beaters’ and KBS2’Trot National Big Feast’ are double-digit audience ratings (10.2%). I kept my pride by recording it.

‘The Girls Who Hit the Goal’, which aired as a two-part series on the 11th to 12th, presented a different fun with the women’s soccer mini league. Various teams from’FC Gavengers’ made up of comedians,’FC Gusset Heights’, a model team, and’FC National Family’ made up of family members and national team members participated in the game. In particular,’FC Fire Moth’, where the’Burning Youth’ performers gathered, showed exceptional performance. Although it is the oldest team with an average age of 48.6 years, Park Sun-young, who was a former member of the physical school who dreamed of becoming a soccer player, won the championship. Park Sun-young, who won the MVP, was proud, saying, “I didn’t know that women liked soccer this way.”

Unexpected talents such as Mi-ra Jeon from the national tennis team, who scored three goals in the 3rd and 4th place match and scored a hat-trick, and Haeun Shim, a model who played an active part as a kicker equal to her husband Lee Chun-soo, also appeared one after another. Hwang Sun-hong, Kim Byeong-ji, Choi Jin-cheol, and Lee Chun-soo, who were former Taegeuk warriors at the 2002 World Cup in charge of coaching each team, were surprised throughout the game. Lee Soo-geun and Bae Seong-jae, who were in charge of the process and commentary, expressed their expectations for the next game, immersing themselves in such a way that their throat was breathless from the first game. SBS’My Fanta Collection’, MBC’s’Anyway to work!’, and Chuseok special MBC’Bolred Ramen Research Institute’ (‘Bolred Fresh Noreum’), which were introduced as pilots in August last year, are regularly organized in order from last month. ‘Is also likely to be established regularly.

Broadcasters’ love calls to sports stars are also constantly. When JTBC’s soccer entertainment’Come Together’ (2019-2021) ended last month, the basketball entertainment’Come Together to Shoot’ took over as a spin-off, and a variety of entertainment with female sports stars like E-channel’Sister Noo’ has emerged. MBC’s new entertainment’Three Parks: Two Hearts’ (first broadcast on the 14th) is also an expected work. It is a reboot project that challenges new fields such as golf, cooking, and cycling, respectively, such as Park Chan-ho, Park Se-ri, and Park Ji-sung, legends of Korean baseball, golf, and football. Se-ri Park is actively active in various entertainments, such as’Playing Sister’ and NQQ’Wild Wild Quiz’, and Lee Dong-guk, a soccer player who retired last year, was also in charge of hosting the E-channel’Comfortable Cafe’ following the regular appearance of’You Must Get Together’.

Oh Yu-jin, who played an active part in’Gyeongsang brother and sister’ with Jin Hae-seong, won the MVP. Thanks to this, the main broadcast of’Trot National Sports Festival’, which aired on the 13th, also recorded 18.2%, the highest rating of its own. TV Chosun’s’Mistlot 2 Tomorrow’ semi-final on the 11th and’Mistrot 2 on New Year’s Day’ on the 12th showed 27.2% and 8.2% (based on Nielsen Korea paid furniture), respectively, showing the majesty of the original trot audition. KBS2’Chosun Pop Again’, which aired on the 11th, was also good at 7.5%.
