Shooting Stars Challenges Handball Cup… First Episode Airs September 2 at 9 PM

SBS 'Shooting Stars' will broadcast the first episode of the special project 'Shooting Stars Handball Cup' on Wednesday, September 2 at 9 PM.

This project was prepared to wish for the success of the women's national handball team at the Asian Games and will be broadcast a total of 4 times during the Asian Games period. Once the Handball Cup broadcasts conclude, 'Shooting Stars' will return to soccer matches.

The preview video released on the 26th captured scenes of fast passes, powerful shooting, intense physical contact, and goalkeeper saves. Caster Bae Seong Jae stated, "Shooting Stars, which sparked the women's soccer boom in Korea, is now challenging handball." The players who participated in the actual match reacted by saying, "It was so intense," "The physical contact is three times more than soccer," and "It's the UFC of ball sports." Lee Hyun-yi said, "This scene was so shocking that I can't even look at the next match."

Legendary Coaches and Cast

In 'Shooting Stars Handball Cup,' Yoon Kyung-shin, who was the first Asian to join the German Bundesliga and holds a record of being the top scorer 7 times, and Lee Sang-eun, the real-life model for the movie 'Forever the Moment,' will appear as coaches. Handball stars such as Park Ha-yan, Bae Min-hee, Kim On-a, and Shim Jae-bok will also join, and 'Asia's Number One Pivot' Park Jung-kyu will serve as a commentator.

A New Challenge for Shooting Stars Players

Former basketball player Lee Hye-jung showcased play driven by her physicality, and Bae Seong Jae commented on this, saying, "She is a complete cheat character." Park Jung-kyu said after watching Seogi's shooting, "She seems like a player who has perfectly grasped handball." Mashima stated, "Handball is fun. I think I'm better at this than soccer." Kim Jung-eun, the lead actress of the movie 'Forever the Moment,' made a surprise appearance as a ceremonial pitcher and said, "I remember sweating and working hard while filming the movie."

Previously, in the 1st 'Shooting Stars Athletics Competition,' the 'Shooting Stars' players, who first participated in handball matches alongside Kim On-a and Bae Min-hee, had demonstrated quick adaptation to the game and passing play.
