A fundamental rivalry in 'Shooting Stars' is set to unfold!

FC Gucheok Jangshin, determined to 'escape last place,' VS FC Actionista, now led by 'Gucheok Killer' Choi Jin-cheul!

In the SBS 'Shooting Stars' broadcast airing today (7th), the 'El Clasico' of Shooting Stars, also known as 'Actionista-Gucheok Clasico,' will take place.

In today's broadcast, the returned Shooting Stars single-elimination football tournament, the '3rd GIFA Cup,' begins. With unprecedented benefits added for the winning team, a fierce battle is expected from the start, and the heat is intensified as the fundamental Shooting Stars rivals, FC Actionista and FC Gucheok Jangshin, face off in the opening match.

FC Gucheok Jangshin, aiming to 'escape last place,' faces an obstacle right from the opening match. Their opponent is none other than Actionista, led by manager Choi Jin-cheul, the 'Gucheok Killer.' Manager Choi Jin-cheul has solidified his position as the representative 'natural enemy of FC Gucheok Jangshin' in Shooting Stars, recording 6 wins and 2 losses, a 75% win rate, against them. Ahead of the match, Manager Choi Jin-cheul expressed strong confidence, stating, "Beating FC Gucheok Jangshin is the easiest thing in the world." Attention is focused on whether FC Gucheok Jangshin can defeat the 'tough opponent' Manager Choi Jin-cheul and FC Actionista to fire the signal flare for 'escaping last place.'

As both teams face their greatest rivals from the very first match, their determination is extraordinary. FC Gucheok Jangshin, seeking to erase the 'last place' stigma, is reinforcing its strength by deploying rookie Lee Yu-an, a former professional volleyball player, as the new goalkeeper. In particular, it is said that despite it being her first appearance, Lee Yu-an drew admiration from the scene by showing a relaxed demeanor instead of nervousness. FC Actionista also plans to do their utmost to break their 'cup tournament jinx,' having tasted bitterness in the first round of every cup tournament. Expectations are high regarding whether Manager Choi Jin-cheul's joining will be the winning move to break Actionista's long-standing jinx.

The fate-driven confrontation between FC Gucheok Jangshin, dreaming of 'escaping last place,' and FC Actionista, aiming to 'escape the jinx,' can be seen on 'Shooting Stars' broadcasting tonight at 9 PM.
