Director Jeon I-gyeong adds special meaning by choosing ‘Speed Queen’ as a new starting point to open the second chapter of her life.

Additionally, Kim A-lang, who has been loved by the nation as a three-time consecutive Olympic medalist, will join as a coach and undergo her first transformation into a leader. As Kim A-lang coach has been active on the ice until recently, she is expected to generously pass on her experience on the world stage and practical know-how. In particular, she will be in charge of meticulous mentoring while deeply understanding the athletes' hearts. Furthermore, expectations are rising as the joining of a yet-to-be-revealed ‘super-special hidden coach’ has been teased. Another 'legend' boasting overwhelming skills and a unique career among the top in ice skating history has also joined 'Speed Queen.' Attention is focused on the 'all-time great coaching lineup' that the hidden coach, whose identity is not yet revealed, will present alongside Director Jeon I-gyeong and Coach Kim A-lang.

Actress Lee Yu-ri has been selected as the 'Team Manager' to add heat by encompassing the athletes and the coaching staff. Lee Yu-ri, who captured the living room seats as the 'National Villain' with her possessed acting, will act as a reliable supporter and mood maker, taking charge of the athletes' mental care and morale boosting with the heart of an eldest sister, adding unique fun in ‘Speed Queen.’

The production team stated, “The sweat of the athletes, who stand on the ice again based only on their current skills and desperation rather than past records or fame, will provide a deep resonance and new fun to viewers,” and “Please look forward to the hottest final sprint of athletes who have already experienced failure and are betting everything on 0.01 seconds.”
