'Volunteer' Lee Chan-won is showcasing the essence of 'dating commentary' with his lively hosting and witty banter that goes from hot to cold.
KBS2 'Volunteer' is a program that covers the futsal challenges of legendary football players from South Korea. '2002 Taegeuk Warriors' Lee Young-pyo serves as both the coach and a key player, with Hyun Young-min, Kim Young-kwang, Jo Won-hee, Jung Dae-se, Baek Ji-hoon, Jeon Ga-eul, and Kim Dong-cheol joining him. They encounter futsal teams from all over the country and compete in matches, donating all prize money to less fortunate neighbors. In particular, the sight of legendary players, who made a significant mark in South Korean football, striving to maintain their skills for charity even after retirement has been an inspiration to viewers and football fans.
Meanwhile, Lee Chan-won, who challenged to become a futsal commentator through 'Volunteer,' is receiving acclaim for his 'spot-on commentary' using his extensive knowledge and sharp insights. Additionally, as the youngest winner of the 'KBS Entertainment Awards,' he brings a unique flavor to the show with his 'hot and cold banter' that fluctuates between scolding and joy, differentiating it from other sports variety shows. Previously, when 'Volunteer' suffered two consecutive losses at the start of the match against the Gyeongsang United in the national championship first round, he remarked, 'At this rate, we're going to lose 10 million won,' raising awareness. When players kicked the ball high, he would shout, 'Is this the Major League?' out of frustration. After 'Volunteer' achieved a come-from-behind victory, he exclaimed, 'It has been proven that this is indeed a skillful and impressive team. They continued to win three times with an unyielding spirit after two losses.'
Meanwhile, in the match against the Gangwon United, a rival team coach who has appeared twice on 'National Song Contest' made an appearance. When he said, 'My rival is Lee Chan-won,' Lee Chan-won replied, 'I have appeared four times on the 'National Song Contest,' and 'I was the invited singer at that time,' showcasing his assertive wit. He also led the rival's 'dance' individual performance by bringing the 'official dancer of Volunteer,' Hyun Young-min, to the stage, elevating the atmosphere. Expectations are mounting for Lee Chan-won's dazzling performances as he is steering 'Volunteer' with exceptional entertainment sense.
The futsal challenges of football legends who kick the ball and give back, KBS2 'Volunteer,' airs every Saturday night at 10:40 p.m.
