[reporter] A question for Sung-chan Park.
Your thoughts as the season's captain…
-Sung-chan Park… -A question for Sung-chan Park.
What kind of advice do you have for your Red Champions teammates?
How do you feel about your foreign language abilities?
I'm pretty bad.
[laughter]
A question for Sung-chan Park.
This is your last game before you move up to the big leagues. How do you feel?
The big leagues are important.
Mmm, but I think, personally,
today's match is important as well, so, uh,
instead of worrying about the big leagues, I will focus on today's match.
[commentator] They got the ball at last!
Sung-chan Park, who was on the defense, is now running!
Ah, Hong-dae Yoon is running too!
[reporter] A question for Hong-dae Yoon.
Your mother is wanted by the authorities.
Are you helping her hide from the police right now?
Excuse me. Please only ask questions related to the game.
[commentator] Wow, he's quite fast! Why not?
Hong-dae Yoon is doing great.
Okay, he's still running. Impressive!
Huh?
I have a question for player Hong-dae Yoon.
Your mother is on the run--
Excuse me! Please refrain from using the phrase "on the run."
Your fugitive mother…
-[moderator] Excuse me! -…where is she watching today's match?
[commentator] This is a golden opportunity for the Red Champions!
-Two defenders and three strikers! -[commentator 2] Right.
[commentator] Hong-dae Yoon will surely give way?
[commentator 2] Yes, he must. He should, but…
-Ah! -[commentator] Huh? Uh-huh.
[commentator] He's not stepping aside. They're running side by side? Whoa.
-[grunts] -[commentator 2] What?
-I've never seen this before. -Well, neither have I.
-I'm not seeing this. -I'm not!
-Did you? -I don't think so.
[both panting]
[Hong-dae grunts]
[in slo-mo] That crazy idiot!
-[indistinct chatter] -[coach] Come here!
-What is this, a community soccer club? -Serious! Jeez! Get out!
Tidy up, guys. Hurry.
[coach] Are you moving to a different team next year? Is that it?
[coach 2] That's enough, okay?
[coach] Just quit, you idiot! You idiot!
[player] Come on. Let's go.
[coach] You call this football?!
I know you've been really down lately,
but even so…
Then again, when will I ever get
to see someone deliberately mark his own teammate?
[reporter] You ran after your teammate. Was it to confuse your opponents?
[reporter 2] Your opponents were flustered.
-Did the head coach tell you to do it? -[reporter 3] Was this a publicity stunt?
Perhaps a way of mocking the police who are still looking for your mother?
You have pretty eyes.
I got my eyes done last year.
My sister got me an employee discount.

YOON HONG-DAE HIGHLIGHTS
[video game music and sounds]
[audience track] Wow!
[cartoon sound effects]
[laughter]
[video game sounds]
[video game music]
DAMN! FERAL REPORTER APPEARS!
HE ATTACKS HONG-DAE'S MOM! NO DAMAGE.
HONG-DAE'S EYE ATTACK! IT WAS VERY EFFECTIVE!
FUN! REPORTER DEFEATED!
[man] That's funny.
How many articles are up?
Counting local media, 142 in total.
What's with the interest? Is he a K-pop star or what?
Well, it is an unprecedented way of hurting someone,
so people are pretty wild about it.
In most assault cases, the victims are punched and beaten.
Poking someone in the eye is certainly rare.
Why you little… Was Mal-Geun okay with the settlement?
He is, but the Football Association will hold him accountable.
My plan is to retire, so why worry about disciplinary action?
-Not the right time to discuss retirement. -It's a dishonorable discharge.
Do you get a treat or reward when you receive an honorable discharge?
-There's no difference. -The showbiz isn't ho-rak ho-rak.
-Not easy at all. -Oh!
Ho-rak. What if his stage name was Ho-rak?
"Ho" for easy, "rak" for fun. Ho-rak.
-[laughing] -Wow.
[chuckles]
Um… do other companies have these kinds of meetings?
Now, let's clean up Ho-rak's image
and get him established in the entertainment industry.
Everyone, come up with ten different proposals. Meet at 3:00.
-But it's only 1:00. -Hmm?
Then by 2:00. Break.
No way. No way!
[man] I'll give you three seconds to come back. One, two, three.
'Course, you wouldn't. It'd be weird if you did.
Listen to me while you wait for elevator.
Oh, it's here. Of course it is. This building only has four floors, right?
Didn't you need money for your mom's settlement, huh?
I asked you for a variety show,
but you got me the Homeless Football World Cup?
Do I look homeless?
I couldn't care less if you're poor or filthy rich.
All I care about is how much money you can generate.
You sound like a total jerk.
That's 'cause I am a jerk.
I don't beat around the bush. Come back inside and sit down.
Sorry. I'm sorry I'm late.
Hmm? You're not late.
Oh, I'm not late. [chuckles] Life's so hectic, you know.
Guess that's why I feel like I'm always running late.
[man] That means you're busy. Nothing unusual.
Hello there. I'm not a fan of yours, but I really enjoy your games.
It's Ho-rak, right? I heard you changed your name.
[man] It's just his stage name.
So-min Lee is a documentary director. Incredible at evoking sadness.
Great at filming tearjerkers. See?
She's still passionate, even though she's underpaid.
My passion is at an all-time high, unlike my pay.
But by dropping my expectations to the same level,
I finally found peace of mind.
[both laugh]
You're hilarious.
So, can I go ahead and tell you about the project?
-Gotta keep the momentum going, you know. -[man] You really are passionate.
[whistle blows]
[player] Hey!
[indistinct chatter]
He tripped. He tripped.
[player] Oh!
Don't use your hands. Use your feet.
Wait, the ball. Don't kick their ball.
[indistinct chatter]
Wait a moment. Stop! Stop now!
[screams]
[laughs]
[coach] Nice, well done.
[yelling]
Oh, almost. I'd consider that a goal.
Everyone, you all did such a fantastic job today.
I'm very satisfied. Keep up the great work, okay?
One, two, three.
-[team] Let's go! -Let's go!
You're probably wondering if that was soccer or some form of martial arts,
but I assure you they're playing soccer.
You just witnessed the team that's representing Korea
in the Homeless Football World Cup,
and it's in Budapest, exactly two months from now.
Ah… [chuckles]
-So they're national athletes? -Mm-hmm.
Don't you feel their story?
Honestly, thank you so much.
Despite this being an important rehabilitation project
for the underprivileged, it was almost canceled.
With Ho-rak donating his talent,
the show is back on track!
Hold it. Who's donating what? I quit soccer because I have no talent.
Precisely, Ho-rak. Quit soccer and work in showbiz.
Looks are your real talent. Volunteer for a season and be on your best behavior.
Re-vamp your public image. Then, you can retire for good.
You have potential to succeed in this industry.
I'll just donate some money and be done with it.
-But you're broke. -Oh, so you're broke?
[man] We both know you have no choice.
Right now, you need to evoke a sense of sadness.
Whatever. Forget it.
-Just fix your public image. -No way. No way.
Oh, sure. "No way. No way."
Deny all you want, but you know damn well that I'm right.
-Welcome to showbiz! -[Hong-dae] Whatever.
[chuckling]
Oh!
[chuckling]
Whoo! [chuckling]
Ah.
All right. Please welcome our new head coach,
who will help us through the tournament.
Coach, please introduce yourself.
Ah. Uh, hello. Hello, everyone.
As of today, I am officially your…
Damn, I really can't do this.
I sound like I'm shooting an ad for Veterans Affairs.
-Cut, cut, cut. -Cut, cut, cut, cut. Let's hold.
I know. That was a tad awkward, wasn't it? [chuckles]
-All right. One more take, okay? -One more take?
What kind of documentary is scripted?
The kind with plot twists. [chuckles]
Let's try one more time.
You're all doing a great job!
Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
-What, what, what? -"What, what, what?"
-Seriously. -[both laugh]
If you're gonna deceive me, at least be serious.
What the hell is this?
-Could we have a little talk? -Go right ahead.
[chuckles] Over there.
[sighs]
[sighs] Unbelievable.
-You little… -[Hong-dae] Ah!
Jeez. I'm finding it harder to keep smiling the older I get.
Since I'm younger, I'll drop formalities.
'Cause you're younger?
-You can do it too. -Oh, okay then.
Hold up, you brat!
-Mr. Yoon. -Better.
What do you and I both need right now? Reputation.
-Huh? -And how do we get that?
How do you create a story that moves people to tears? A narrative.
You see, we don't have much time. We have two months until World Cup.
You think half-assing this will get us quality material?
What the… What are you?
Who, me? [scoffs]
[chuckles]
Who cares? Sheesh.
I'm just a struggling director trying to pay off her student loans. Good?
-Mmm. -[So-min sighs]
You know, I heard from someone
that our dazzling life is only the first act of a show.
Show? The show must go on.
And I am the star. Cool, huh?
But what if the star makes a fool of himself?
That's just foolish.
-So what must the fool do to avoid that? -Hmm?
How about by listening to the expert?
Mmm, and you're the expert?
-Mm-hmm, you got it. -Huh.
-Now, smile. -Huh?
[chuckles]
Smile, Ho-rak. Got it?
[chuckles]
[laughs]
Are you, perhaps, crazy?
Definitely not normal.
[both laughing]
Isn't it normal to be crazy in a crazy world?
[gasps]
What the…
She's not wrong at all.
[Hong-dae] Seeing you all run on the field
made me feel deeply ashamed of myself for letting myself wallow in despair.
And now, my heart is…
It's like it's telling me, "I want to try again."
[chuckles]
[coach] Whoo!
-[applause] -[coach] Whoo!
All right, Let's get started with the selection process.
Director, please hang the banner!
HOMELESS FOOTBALL TEAM SELECTION
SPRINT TEST
[coach] And go!
[So-min] The tryouts are for formality.
We pick the ones with the most pitiful stories.
We want the drama.
Act like you're torn for a while.
Then pick these people.
[coach] All right, get ready.
-[So-min] Hwan-dong Kim, 55 years old. -And go!
[So-min] He was once a CEO, but was also a philanderer who abandoned his family.
He lost everything due to the 1997 IMF crisis,
the kind of story housewives love.
-9.87. -For 30 meter…
DRIBBLE TEST
[So-min] Beom-su Son, age 44.
His past isn't, mmm, too interesting.
There's a woman he loves dearly, but she has a mental disability.
It's a melodrama that overcomes poverty and disability.
I HATE MELODRAMA BE MELODRAMATIC
-[overlapping chatter] -[applause]
BALL TRAPPING TEST
[gentle music plays]
[So-min] Hyo-bong Jeon, 44 years old.
He has a daughter is in elementary school.
His ex-wife married an Australian, so his daughter's moving to Australia soon.
An inevitable breakup, a sad family story.
SHOOTING TEST
-Don't worry. Kick as hard as you want. -[player] Give it all you got!
Oh, crap
-Come on! -[grunts]
[player 2] Go, go, go, go, go!
[player 3] Go again.
[player 2] You can do it!
-[player] You can do it! -[applause]
[player] Whoo!
-[gasps] -[cheering]
[So-min] Moon-su Jeon, 39 years old.
According to him, he used to be part of a gang.
He says he's acting homeless because he's on the run,
but he'd make the perfect scene stealer.
Don't you dare blink. Keep your eyes on the ball.
Gonna bend the ball real pretty with my foot, eh?
[So-min] He has an unpredictable personality.
I think I was seven…
I pestered my mother to buy me a soccer ball,
but she said she didn't like soccer.
Hey, kick the ball, weirdo!
My feet were bored since I didn't have a ball,
so I started to kick my friends instead.
The beginning of the violence.
We got it, so kick the ball!
Why? What is it?
[chuckles]
[laughing]
HOMELESS FOOTBALL FINAL ROSTER
Our show's got the full cast,
including the young guy who's dumb and rude.
[laughing]
-You take your meds on time? -I'm like this 'cause I can't afford any.
Now, I'm kindly letting you, Pushover Coach, choose the last member.
-Happy? -Mmm, thank you.
If you want my opinion, how's that guy? He never says what his deal is,
but he's optimistic and I find that pretty ironic and funny.
Having a home doesn't mean
it'll keep you warm in the winter or cool in the summer,
so I don't care about losing.
I've never in my life won anything anyways.
When you've never known what it's like to win, losing isn't so bad.
Don't you agree?
And body-wise, he's got a nice physique, you know?
-[sighs] -[chuckles]
Just letting you know another opinion.
Yeah, thanks for your thoughts.
Mm-hmm.
Mmm.
[phone buzzes]
[So-min sighs]
[cat meowing]
[curious music plays]
[chuckles]
[woman] I can't even eat because I worry about you.
[Hong-dae] Please, obviously you've put on some weight.
What kind of fugitive has time to eat?
Do you know how hard it is to be on the run on an empty stomach?
I don't feel like joking around.
-Why did you want to see me? -Hey.
Are you quitting soccer to work in showbiz? What's that about?
I haven't signed anything. I'm still broke.
God, how did you know I'd ask?
[scoffs] Can you please have some shame for once? Goodness!
Don't yell at your mother. It's scary.
Mom, you scare me more!
You blew all my money on your business.
You've been on the run for scamming. What did you ever do for me?
Hey! That's not fair!
You made it this far only because I'm always praying for you.
You're an atheist, Mom!
I've been going to a Catholic church.
For two months.
[scoffs]
[sighs]
[dog barking]
[sighs]
Someone's on your tail. I'll deal with them. Just run.
Hmm.
He's a friend from church.
You're seeing a guy, even in this…
Why?
-[chuckles] -[Hong-dae scoffs]
[scoffs]
He's a good person. His faith is strong and most importantly…
he hides me well.
[sighs]
I know it's been a lot for you these days.
Yes. I'm… I'm sorry.
Here.
This is his card. Here. Take it.
Call me when you sign with them, okay, my son?
Mom will be praying for you.
[Hong-dae] What the…
[chuckles]
-I'm off. -I can't even…
[scoffs]
[sighs]
[sad music plays]
[door closes]
[So-min] Yesterday, Mr. Beom-su said he won't be on the team and quit.
His story was interesting. Just make him stay.
We don't force them to do this.
If it's not voluntary, there is really no point.
Our agenda today is to persuade him to come back.
Give me the script.
Ah, ah, ah. Ah. Ah. [clears throat]
Mr. Beom-su has never had a home since the day he was born.
He moved around and lived with his relatives.
Then, when he turned 17, he started working in construction.
His dream was to sign a long-term lease for a small house,
so he started saving up little by little.
-But one day… -Ah!
[worker] Hey! Hey!
[So-min] What little money he managed to save up
was quickly drained due to his medical expenses.
Yet he couldn't seem to fully recover,
so he lost all hope.
[snoring]
[So-min] Once the symptoms turned chronic, Beom-su had no choice
but to live on the streets.
Ah, what the fuck is this noise?
Let's shut it up.
[Beom-su snoring]
Piece of shit.
[grunts]
[So-min] Violence against the homeless still happens often,
even though it's completely unwarranted.
While fighting a high fever, Beom-su hoped
that he'd just fall asleep and never wake up again.
There was nothing left that made him want to keep going.
But then…
[gentle music plays]
Oh.
[gasps]
-Oh, owie. -[Beom-su groans]
[So-min] For the first time in his life, he met someone who took care of him.
Although, Beom-su still doesn't have a home
and rents a tiny room when he can,
he works hard every day selling magazines
to help Jin-ju with her rent.
[Beom-su] The Big Issue!
3,000 won! Magazine for the homeless!
The Big Issue!
You're shouting too much. People are scared to buy from you.
Ah, that's weird. I haven't sold any since you got here.
You don't need to help, so could you just leave?
Ah, jeez.
[Beom-su] The Big Issue!
3,000 won! 3,000 won!
-[sighs] -The Big Issue!
What made you quit soccer? You worked so hard at it.
-I wasn't really trying? -[chuckles]
But still, you made the team, which is no easy feat.
-It wasn't that hard. -Ah, it wasn't difficult for you.
[sighs] Honestly, my health isn't great.
I know that you've improved a lot by playing soccer.
Jin-ju's rent has gone up by 20,000 won.
I need to sell 10 of these to make that much.
I think I can do it if you leave me alone.
Hey, seriously.
[Beom-su] The Big Issue! The Big Issue!
3,000 Won!
I can, uh, give you 20,000.
Do you think I'm a beggar?!
The Big Issue! 3,000 Won!
-The Big Issue! -The Big Issue! The Big--
Ah forget it! Just leave!
I'm just trying to help. Why do you gotta embarrass me?
I wanna sell ten copies today. I think I can if you just go!
God, why are you yelling?
-I can't hear well. That's why! -You can hear me fine!
What did you say?
[Beom-su] This is such a luxury.
-Jeez… -Jin-ju, she really loves eggs and bread.
So, of course, she loves egg bread.
She goes crazy for this.
Usually she barely talks.
But when she eats this, she'll say,
"Mmm, yummy."
[chuckles]
I'll splurge on these just so I might hear her little voice.
How do you expect me to leave her alone for a week to go there?
Then how about I shoot a few shots of you eating with her
and a really short interview, huh?
Jeez.
She doesn't talk.
She won't talk, ever.
Soccer player.
[Beom-su] Huh?
Handsome.
[Beom-su gasps]
[Hong-dae] Uh…
Soccer player,
I like.
[gasps]
[whispers] Zoom in.
Pass it!
[grunts]
-[player] Hey, over here! -[Beom-su] Damn it! Block him!
[grunting]
[Beom-su yells]
How did you do it?
Well, uh, we had some delicious egg bread together and…
[whistle blows]
Could everyone gather around for a moment?
[Beom-su panting]
Hey, are you trying to die or something?
Why are you acting like this?
Hwan-dong, you're a striker.
So why are you busy defending, even cheating?
Well, uh, he looked like he was struggling.
Ah, so because your teammate was struggling, you cheated?
That's a new one.
Uh, and also, your play is too predictable.
We practiced turning the foot right before kicking.
I'll remember that. Yes.
Okay. So, let's run for seven minutes. Halftime isn't that long.
Lastly, if you go overboard, you will die.
Know your physical limits. All right, everyone, back to your positions.
-[coach] To your positions. You can do it! -Moon-su! [grunts]
Thanks to your earnest attitude, they look like a real soccer team now.
I'm just following the script.
-[Beom-su] All right, let's go! -[chuckles]
[gasps]
[both chuckle]
[Hwan-dong] Hyo-bong, pass it to me! Good!
-[panting] -[Moon-su] Hwan-dong, stop him! Block him!
[yells]
[Hwan-dong screams]
Hwan-dong! Hwan-dong!
Are you all right? Call 911!
It's okay. It's not your fault.
Whose fault is it, then?
Uh… is it your fault?
[sighs]
But
he's the only one who can actually score.
[mouthing]
[sighs]
I'll put my bone together in a month. It's just a hairline fracture.
Please do not drop me.
Just 'cause it heals, doesn't mean you can run right away.
He's right. There's next year. There will always be another chance.
You think an old man waits for next year? I almost saved three million won.
I can apply for public housing with that, right?
-Uh, what do you mean? -Well, my daughter just had a baby.
It's only natural that my wife and daughter,
they probably don't want to ever see me.
When I was a successful businessman, I had plenty of money,
so I didn't care about my family.
Hey. Hey! Why do you keep getting on my nerves? You little…
Whenever I was out, I had a hard time ignoring the temptations.
…call for help from the International Monetary Fund to overcome…
[Hwan-dong] And when you have nothing to fear, you start doing bad things.
Instead of expanding my business, I fell deeper into corruption.
When I was finally released, I had nothing.
Well, I deserved it.
Why do you always come to my restaurant?
Goodness.
[Hwan-dong] For five years, I did nothing but beg for booze.
[woman] Hyun-joo's going through adolescence now.
This is disgusting and embarrassing.
Nothing good will come out of her seeing this.
[Hwan-dong] I'm not asking you to pity me.
I swear, since that day, I haven't had a single drop of alcohol.
Of course, I don't expect them to forgive me.
But this'll be on TV.
Shouldn't I show them at least, huh?
I don't want them to worry that I'll be a burden on them.
I want them to know I'm no longer a sleazy bum.
I want to put their worries to rest, please?
[coach] No, we can't do that.
Everyone's safety is our priority.
But he so desperately wants to do it. He can just gently play, huh?
[scoffs] Gently can lead to bigger injuries.
You know nothing about soccer.
[both laugh]
That's why you're here, Coach Pushover.
[chuckles]
[sighs] We don't have a player that can actually score.
If we're competing, it'd be nice to win, right?
It's not just nice. We must win.
Oh, you know that. You already know.
Actually, there's a kid… He's decently good,
but he doesn't come out for practice often.
He's someone young?
How did he get on the streets? What's his story?
Thing is he has a deep wounded history, so…
Why? What happened?
The Big Issue!
Only 3,000 won!
The Big Issue! 3,000--
What?
Do you always… keep quiet when you sell magazines?
It's odd.
What's odd?
I haven't sold any…
since you got here.
It's odd.
[sniffles]
That is odd.
Ah, uh, I… I see.
Mr. Hwan-dong got hurt because of me.
No, that's not true.
-Do you think you can fill in for… -[kid] I'll be there.
Uh…
I… I'm sorry.
This time, I'll… I won't miss any…
And I'll practice and do my best…
[chuckles]
I'm so glad we came to see you.
What's this?
Cross.
Cross?
Is this how I do it?
[chuckles] How long do we have to stay like this?
MISSING PERSON
[cameraman] Slow down. Go slow.
Slow… actually a little faster.
He always says he'll come, but he never shows up.
Recently, I let myself be fooled by kids who act innocent and pretty.
He seemed to be looking for someone.
Actually,
when he was seven, his parents drugged him and took their own lives.
But somehow, only that young boy survived.
I heard it was all over the news.
[boy] Hey, the director's here!
You little brats!
[coach] He had aphasia for a while and couldn't speak,
so he struggled wherever he went.
But thankfully, he met a good friend at the children's home.
After that, he gradually began to speak again and started school too.
[gentle guitar music plays]
[chuckles]
How did you get off work early today?
I worked overtime on the weekend.
[coach] They only had each other, but I'm sure they didn't need anyone else.
Wow, we're pretty rich. [chuckles]
I… I hope you can stop working and go back and finish your studies.
You said you wanted to get an office job, so…
[girl] I do.
What if I quit once I get the bonus? Sound good?
[both chuckle]
[thunder crashes]
[sirens blaring]
[coach] During her last month at her job,
the factory organized a company picnic for the workers.
They never found her body,
so he believes that she's still alive.
I told you not to put this up!
This is your last warning.
When an officer says that, you should be scared.
You got that?
In-sun Kim.
In-sun, look at me.
-I said look at me. -Huh?
Look over there.
See that camera?
All our training sessions
and our games at the World Cup,
we'll record everything and broadcast nationwide.
You should let her know that you're looking for her.
That you're waiting for her.
-[In-sun] Cross. -Cross! [chuckles]
-[laughing] -[player] What is wrong with you?
[coach] That's enough.
[Hyo-bong] Huh? It's Hwan-dong!
[Hwan-dong] Hey.
[Beom-su] Hwan-dong is here too. Everyone's here.
I'll just watch from the side, okay? [grunts]
First two to cross the finish line!
[whistle blows]
Was I eight years old?
I begged my father for a basketball, but…
What do I do with him?
All right, pick up the pace!
Hyo-bong, you're too slow!
Mr. Beom-su, where are you going?
-All right, In-sun's in first. -[whistle blows]
[Beom-su] Damn it!
[Hong-dae] Keep your passes low and quick.
-[coach] Hey! -[Hong-dae] Kick harder! Harder!
-Ah! -[whistle blows]
Stop. Stop. Okay.
Nice. Give it a shot. A bit more. Keep going. More, more.
-[groaning] -That tickles! [laughing]
My shoulders!
Ah! Ah!
-My shoulders! -[sighs]
Jeez.
[coach] Good try. Push. harder.
We're supposed to push together. Goodness.
-Oh boy. -[whistle blows]
[Beom-su] Yah!
Are you doing this on purpose?
Hyo-bong, try a shot. Kick it gently. Gently.
[Hwan-dong] Yes, Hyo-bong. Don't kick it hard. Just kick it straight.
What?
Why are you rolling the ball? I said, "Kick it."
I really think you guys are doing this on purpose.
[Hwan-dong] It's all right. Well done.
Well done. Good job.
[players] Whoa!
[applause]
[coach] Nice. Well done.
[grunting]
[players] Oh!
[coach] Nice. Great. You're good.
[Beom-su] Wow!
[coach] Okay!
Go.
[grunts]
[coach] Okay! Good job!
Okay, one more.
-[coach] Keep your eyes on the ball! -[Hong-dae] Go.
[coach] Okay, good.
Ah, it's okay.
Oh, try again!
That's okay. You're close.
He can only kick well when the ball isn't moving.
-[Moon-su] Beom-su's next. -[Beom-su] I'll beat you.
Jeez, he sure holds a grudge over useless things.
Why do you think I'm your competition?
I'm not even offended, because it's completely absurd.
One, two, one, two, three, four.
[players panting]
They're acting like they ran 15 laps or more.
[players wheezing]
Try scaring them a little. Let's change up the mood a bit, okay?
You got plenty of shots. Please…
Will you just please do what I tell you, hmm?
[players wheezing]
[Hwan-dong] Have some water.
How are you going to play soccer if you can't even do this?
We haven't even started, but you babies are already giving up?
Who told you you could sit down if you get tired, huh?
Aren't you all here 'cause you're sick of lying around?
Your endurance and concentration are off, just like a bunch of bums!
Huh?
Well, I guess, in a way, you aren't totally wrong. [laughs]
[players laughing]
[Hwan-dong] Don't laugh.
You think you're all that?
Then show us what you got.
Let's have a match, you against us five.
First to five wins 20,000 won!
-[Hwan-dong] But he's a pro. -[Moon-su] Do you even have 20?
Fine, give me a goalie at least.
[whistle blows]
-[upbeat music plays] -[Moon-su] Let's go!
Block him!
Stop him. Block him!
[Beom-su] No!
Damn it!
Hyo-bong, are you messing with me? You were in my way!
Goddamn it!
[Moon-su] Run!
[Beom-su yells]
[Beom-su groaning]
-Whoo! -Get back!
Go far!
[Moon-su] Take him down!
[Hyo-bong yells]
[Moon-su] What are you doing?
Ah!
[groans]
[Moon-su] Stop him! Block him!
Damn!
-[Hong-dae yells] -[Moon-su] Whoa! What?
-What was that?! -[exclaims]
[exclaims]
Yeah!
[exclaims]
Yeah!
[panting]
This is the difference between you all and me.
[laughing]
[girl] Daddy!
[Hyo-bong] Hi, Eun-hye!
No, no, wait. Wait. Daddy is, uh, all sweaty and stinky.
Who cares?
Hi, Eun-hye. You're here. Are you done with school?
Yes!
I know who that man is.
[Hyo-bong] How? He's not that famous.
He's the eye poker, right?
[Hong-dae] Silence!
[laughs]
[bird caws]
You saw that?
I'm thirteen years old, and I'm a good student. [chuckles]
[So-min] What kind of person is your dad?
Hmm… He's somebody who…
who is much too nice.
Like a dummy.
That's why bad people keep taking advantage of him.
My mom told me that he was a guarantor for a friend of his.
They say you can lose everything if it goes wrong, you know.
Well, I know from experience that that's actually true.
Hold on.
Let me eat my last meal.
I haven't eaten anything for days.
Ah, jeez.
[slurping]
[kids chattering]
[Eun-hye] My mom said she couldn't live with Dad anymore,
so what can I do?
[woman] Why are they so loud?
Children! Gosh, you're so loud. Let's go to the corner store.
-[cheering] -Come on, Eun-hye.
Come with us. Let's go.
Aunty will buy you snacks, okay?
Huh? [laughing]
[chuckles]
[Eun-hye] He's a big dummy, so I bet he has no idea.
I know he waits in front of my school to see me.
And in the fall, I'm moving to Australia
with Mr. Australia.
It's the only reason Mom let me come here.
Before you leave, is there something you want to do with your dad?
Mmm…
I would like to live with Dad until the end of summer.
Mom won't allow you to do that?
[Eun-hye] It's not that.
My dad doesn't have a house.
Hmm…
How about if someone lets you guys borrow their house?
Wow, really? Who would?
Someone who would gladly offer.
[chuckles]
[So-min chuckles]
What's up? What? Want one? Not a chance.
Munch, munch. [chuckles]
Can we really stay there?
Of course. It's just my home is so small that…
I mean, I feel bad that it's not any bigger.
[Hwan-dong] Oh my.
You see, our coach Yoon is such a generous person, huh?
-You must be so excited, Eun-hye. -[Eun-hye] Thank you, eye poker, sir.
[Beom-su] Who cares if he's generous if his house isn't a generous size?
All of a sudden?
-[player] This is so touching. -[Hong-dae chuckles]
[Moon-su] Why are we laughing?
The World Cup is only less than two months away.
What are we to do if you withdraw your sponsorship like this?
We never officially finalized the deal,
so asking us to take responsibility is unfair.
No, no, no, I… That's not what I… It's just--
Well, look, the truth is
the homeless are seen as filthy and smelly to most people,
so, as sponsors, we're unsure how consumers would react
if we were associated with them. That was our decision.
I do apologize.
Then how about the company makes an anonymous donation instead.
Is that possible?
Why would we do such a thing, huh?
-Right. -You see?
[coach] But you see,
the fact is
most of them aren't filthy and smelly like the way people think.
Why do such a thing?
Why shouldn't we?
In this society we're part of,
there's no guarantee that any of us won't end up on the streets, right?
Are you so sure?
If you're in such a predicament,
wouldn't it be nice to have someone who wants to help you?
If you think about it, we're doing it for ourselves.
Then we must do it.
[chairs rattle]
But I guess it's clear a place like this won't do it.
That's, well, your point of view. [chuckles]
Thank you for this lovely time.
Have a good rest of your day.
Bet no one likes you.
[Hyo-bong] Here we go.
Wow! It looks yummy!
All right, let's eat.
How is it?
[Eun-hye] Hmm, it's…
Mmm, so-so.
But I get to have a meal with my dad.
I'm just so happy!
After you study hard in Australia and come to visit me,
I promise that, uh, I'll have a super great house waiting.
Even if it's not, I'll be happy if you're there.
I'm so glad that you don't take after me.
[both chuckle]
Eat up. Lots and lots.
-You're pretty, even if you're chubby. -Okay.
[chuckles]
Ah, question.
Where is Mr. Eye Poker sleeping?
EVERGREEN GOSIWON
[Jin-ju] Eat eggs.
Grow tall.
Eat two, soccer player.
Do you like soccer? Do you know any players?
Born in 1985, Cristiano Ronaldo.
-Real Madrid. -Oh!
This year, born in 1987, Messi,
the Ballon d'Or.
Oh!
Huh. How about, then…
Balotelli? How about Balotelli?
[Jin-ju] Troublemaker.
He's ugly.
-Don't like. -[laughs]
Oh, have an egg. I'm good with one.
Yeah, take it. Take it.
Then, um, uh, do you like the Premier League?
Premier League.
I agree. The Premier League is where it's at.
So, you're a big soccer fan?
Soccer fan.
[laughs] A soccer fan!
[laughs]
Oh, let's eat this together. Dig in. Dig in.
[coach] All right, finally.
The opponent of our first practice game has been decided.
Who are we playing? Is it a pro team?
If we play against a pro team, isn't that a bit unfair for us?
I see. If we play very well, we might be able to lose today.
[laughing]
All right, this match is made possible by that young lady.
A round of applause.
Good luck, Dad! [chuckles]
All right then. Before we start, shake hands.
Go ahead. Go ahead. Come on.
Let's go!
Yeah, come on!
[kids exclaiming]
[whistle blows]
[Moon-su] Whoa! Here they come.
Ay!
Jeez! Hyo-bong, you should've been blocking them!
Hey, Hyo-bong. What are you doing? Block him!
-You need to block! Ah! -[whistle blows]
[Hong-dae] What are you all doing?
Are your egos hurt 'cause they're school kids?
You can't do it?
Or maybe you're going easy on them? Unbelievable.
They're shorter and weaker,
but technique-wise, they're way better than us.
Why don't you want to beat them?
Go out and win. You have to win, got that?
Yeah, let's win, huh?
You're playing against them anyways. Might as well win, right?
Okay, the second half is starting. Let's get going.
Guys, huddle around.
What? Don't be shy. Put your hands together. Hands in.
All right. On the count of three, "Let's win! Let's win! Let's go!" Okay?
Okay, one, two, three! Let's win! Let's win! I don't hear it?
[Hyo-bong] Bring it in.
[unenthusiastically] Let's go. Let's go. Let's win.
-Let's go! -[coach] Let's go! You can do it!
Well done. What an impressive achievement. Get out of here.
-[Moon-su] Hyo-bong, I'm watching you! -[Hyo-bong] You got this. Like practice.
[Eun-hye] Good luck, Dad!
[coach] All right, good luck!
What? What?
Mm-mmm. Just thinking that your acting is getting better.
Acting is method.
-[Moon-su] Go! Go! -[player] Here! Over here.
[overlapping yelling]
[Beom-su] Here, here, here!
-[cheering] -[whistle blows]
[coach] Big Issue Korea has scored one point.
[cheering]
[In-sun] Cross.
Stop right there!
[both groaning]
Why does he keep putting these up?
Oh! Oh! [laughs]
I'm open! Kick it high!
-[grunts] -[whistle blow]
-Oh! -[coach] Big Issue Korea, two points!
Wow! Keep it up! Let's go!
♪ Your life is beautiful ♪
Sorry, boys. Sorry, boys.
[panting]
-[whistle blows] -[cheering]
[coach] Big Issue Korea, three points!
[Hwan-dong] All right, let's beat them. Yes, that's it!
[Moon-su] Beom-su!
-Yeah! -[coach] Big Issue Korea, four points!
Yeah!
[Eun-hye] Let's go! Whoo!
[laughing]
[Moon-su] One more point! We got this!
I just, you know, found this on the street.
The Premier League.
Oh, it'll look great on you.
Wait, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no! Not now. Later. Later.
Stop taking your shirt off!
EVERGREEN GOSIWON
[player] Beom-su!
[Eun-hye] You got this, Dad!
-[whistle blows] -[cheering]
Whoo! Yeah!
[In-sun] Cross!
[coach] Five to four, Big Issue Korea wins!
[snoring softly]
-[gasps] -Holy! What is it?
-I had an amazing dream. -Okay, so?
The views on the documentary was skyrocketing. Then,
I tore off the graph and slapped the manager right in the face.
-Huh? -[So-min] Ah, but no!
If I have a good dream,
bad stuff always happens, like I'm cursed or something.
-[gasps] -What?!
[phone buzzing]
So we lost all of our sponsors…
This year might be difficult to go to the World Cup.
This was your idea, wasn't it?
Yes, it was my idea. That's right.
[sighs]
I put my job on the line when I said yes to this.
If this fails, I get fired for standing up to my manager!
Right. I'll do whatever it takes. How about we plan for next year--
-Are you joking?! -[Hong-dae] Hey.
Wow. How is it that every time I'm eating a popsicle,
I overhear some nonsense?
How much do we need, and how much are we short?
You mean we can't afford to go? The deal fell through?
No, it didn't fall through. It's just the airfare and the equipment costs and…
-Just give me the number. How much? -Yes.
So we would need about 30 million won--
How much do we have now? Just be honest. Nothing?
[chuckles] No, not nothing. Negative, actually.
-[sighs] -We're always in the red…
[groans]
Wow. So this was all a con, hmm?
You roped me into this when you weren't even ready, huh?
-It's not that. -[So-min] Be quiet for a sec.
You basically committed fraud right now!
[sighs]
What? Fraud?
If this fails, it'll be me ending up on the streets.
Forget fraud. I could even kill someone!
I don't care if you become homeless or a killer.
Why should I get roped into your mess, huh?
Look, I'll definitely… I'll find a sponsor.
-Where? -[Hong-dae] Ah, forget it! I'm out!
Stop right there!
-Where are you getting the sponsor? -[coach] A social org--
-Which organization and where? -Ah, jeez.
The Korea Racing Authority. No, uh, wait. The PWLS.
People Who wove Soccer. I could reach out and…
You know I'm usually fast, but those pigs recruited a pro sprinter.
You know I did track in school, right?
I ran as fast as I could. [chuckles]
But she ran up right next to me and was just like… [inhales sharply]
…smiling like that. [chuckles]
You seem fine, enough to be laughing?
[laughing]
-Hong-dae, if I may ask, could… -Mom.
What is the most important thing to you?
Your number-one priority.
Huh?
Don't mothers usually put their children as their first?
I know a lot of mothers who would say third or fourth place.
Okay.
I'm grateful then.
I guess
second place is my destiny.
Mom.
I don't have any money.
Just serve your time, then leave.
How… How could you say such a thing to your mother?
I didn't even have money to see a doctor about my toothache.
What do you want from me?!
Toothache?
A toothache?
[scoffs]
To me, you are my toothache!
Hong-dae, is something wrong?
Something's always wrong. My mom's what's wrong.
[sighs] Damn it.
[exhales]
It's about time we cut all our ties.
[sighs]
[door closes]
[somber music plays]
[cat meows]
COACH YOON, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US STAY AT YOUR PLACE, HYO-BONG
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
Isn't this a soccer jersey?
What? Don't touch it?
Excuse me. What? What did you say?
I pushed you on the swing!
Hey, lady. Hurry up and take this off.
Come on. Take it off. [grunts]
[teen] Jeez, hey. Are you all right?
Okay, get up.
It's me.
I said it's me! Come on!
-[teen 2] Hey! You little… -[grunts]
-[teen 2] Jeez. -[whimpering]
A jerk like you always shows up every time I feel like acting up.
-Where did he even come from? -[sighs]
What kind of shitty day is this?
Now's the only chance for you to run.
Stay and I'll grind you up and drink you.
[teens laugh]
Let's get him a blender then.
He wants to drink us up. Go ahead. Try us, you little fucker.
[Hong-dae] Shit!
Bastard!
[grunting]
[teen 2] Jeez.
[teens groaning]
[teen] Ah!
-[grunting] -[groaning]
-[whimpering] -Piece of sh… Damn it!
[sighs]
Ugh.
[panting]
[reporter] Hong-dae Yoon was accused of assault again
in less than two months after the case where he hurt a reporter.
However, this time, he assaulted high school students
while under the influence of alcohol.
What's surprising is he didn't poke anyone in the eye this time.
However, like a true professional soccer player--
[man] Hey, turn it off.
Ho-rak,
drop him.
SEOUL YEOUI POLICE STATION
So, about Hong-dae Yoon. As you know already…
I don't really.
[keyboard clacking]
It's those students.
They were harassing a woman with a mental disability and then--
-That woman doesn't know how to talk. -Sometimes she talks.
She's a fan of Hong-dae Yoon.
You know that Hong-dae Yoon got hurt as well?
[sighs] He said he wasn't.
I mean, how is he so good at brawling, that Hong-dae Yoon?
[beverage thuds]
-What did he do wrong?! Hong-dae Yoon! -Ah!
Hey, what are you looking at?
Well…
Well, so Hong-dae Yoon…
Jeez, does this look like Hong-dae Yoon? Why are you talking to it, huh?
No, I wasn't. It's just… You know, that, uh, Hong-dae…
Because he is Hong-dae Yoon,
he naturally did what Hong-dae Yoon would do.
Hong-dae Yoon?
Have you seen my friend?
Ah, shit, my head hurts.
What do you people want from me?!
I mean, it's an assault case, so why won't you investigate it?
What's there to look into
when the assailant himself admitted to everything?
And the witness can't even speak, and there were no cameras in the vicinity.
Just tell him to agree on a settlement.
-That's not fair to Hong-dae-- -Hong-dae Yoon! Hong-dae Yoon!
Hong-dae Yoon!
No more!
-Okay. Okay. -[officer] Enough.
Who can I ask about Hong-dae Yoon?
-[screams] -Ah! Ah! Ah!
-I'm going to kill-- -[man] No, wait!
[officer yells]
[man] Since you're a director,
can't you show the public what kind of person Hong-dae truly is?
What?
Oh, I'm not that type of director.
Actually, you know,
he pretends he doesn't care for soccer and says he wants to be a celeb.
But I mean, people think he doesn't even practice.
But Hong-dae, he trained harder than anybody else I knew.
You know, they say hard work trumps talent you're born with.
But that's not true.
There comes a time for all athletes when they realize that.
You run as fast as you possibly can,
but the guy ahead of you gets further away.
It's not that you won't catch up. You just can't keep up.
PARK SUNG-CHAN
When someone's falling behind, you should help them.
It's not like the guy ahead can play soccer alone.
[sighs]
[knock on door]
Miss Jin-ju, hi.
It's me, So-min. You remember, right?
Hong-dae could really use your help right now.
-You remember Hong-dae Yoon, right? -Ugh, migraine.
I'm telling you there's no point.
[sighs]
What…
what am I to you?
She's obsessed with Hong-dae.
[groans]
Those swings?
Why would you get on the swings on a gloomy day?
Is that where those boys harassed you?
[officer] Good. Good, good.
What? The sky? In the sky?
That house?
That one?
Hmm?
A cell phone?
In that apartment, someone was recording with their cell phone?
[gasps]
AUGUST 14, 2010, A PLAYGROUND IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX
A MAN DOES A FLYING KICK?!
THE EXPERT EYE POKER!
THE FOOTBALLER YOON!
HE'S BEEN LYING LOW AND REFLECTING ON HIS ACTIONS, SO WHY?
CAUSING ANOTHER INCIDENT?
Starting from today, I will be your coach.
My name is Hong-dae Yoon.
[cheering]
THIS TEAM IS REPRESENTING KOREA
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HOMELESS FOOTBALL WORLD CUP!
[indistinct chatter]
THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING
SO UNEXPECTED?
HE IS A NICE GUY?
TO ALLOW HYO-BONG TIME WITH HIS DAUGHTER, YOON OFFERED HIS HOME
JIN-JU, WHO HAS AN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY, LOVES FOOTBALL
HE GIFTED HER A FOOTBALL JERSEY!
BACK TO AUGUST 14!
A WOMAN WHO'S BEING HARASSED
[Hong-dae] It's okay now. Let's go.
YOON HONG-DAE'S FRIEND!
JIN-JU!
YOON WANTED TO SAVE HER
COULD HE REALLY BE THE ATTACKER?
[Hong-dae] Bastard!
[grunting]
[teen screams]
[Hong-dae grunts]
VIEWS LIKE, DISLIKE
Go get Ho-rak.
Escort him, politely.
We already dropped the charge against him.
My son's personal info gets plastered on the internet.
Everyone is still talking about the video that went viral last week.
That's right, the viral video about soccer player Hong-dae Yoon.
With just one video clip, he's turned into an action hero.
Is it true that action hero Hong-dae wants to get into the UFC?
We'll gladly welcome him with open arms.
I wanna make a Yoon Hong-dae game.
A game where you beat up the bullies.
A fun, addictive game.
The viral video about Hong-dae Yoon has prompted discussions on the need
for aggravated punishment in assault cases against people with disabilities,
even if the assailant is a minor.
It has been decided to be named the Hong-dae Yoon bill.
Wow, he beat up those kids and became a hero.
Those bunch of little pricks!
Ugh, he should've just killed them all.
[laughs]
[door opens]
-Hello. -Oh, Director Lee. Well done.
Ah, no. No.
So how'd it go?
The two of you took care of everything. Yay!
Come on. Let me take a look.
Here. If you see here, we still need a bit more.
Your video really helped promote our fundraising page,
so we've surpassed five million won.
We'll reach our target, soon enough!
Yay! Yay!
In that case, I'll pitch in too.
About, 50,000?
-[chuckles] -Then I'll do 30,000.
Why are you so stingy? Make it 50.
-Then how much are you giving? -What did you say?
[loudly] How much are you going to give?
-So annoying. -[So-min] Where the heck is Hong-dae?
-Why is he ghosting me? -Yeah, where is he at this critical time?
[sighs]
-[Moon-su grunting] -[line ringing]
-[Hyo-bong] Watch it. -Huh?
[In-sun] He's in the building that I'm staying in.
Um, here.
[So-min sighs]
Having a nice meal?
Must be really hungry.
I get why folks live reclusive lives. It's hella convenient.
[So-min] Hey!
The Rules of the Jungle show?
Where you go capture and eat lizards, that show?
Mm-hmm, that one.
-To the jungle? -Mmm, the jungle.
You do realize that it's the day right before going to the World Cup?
-Yes, I do. Don't go to the Cup. -What?
What did I tell you? Those folks putting up with low pay make great tearjerkers.
She's already given us everything we needed. Sure, I'm grateful.
I mean, we're basically ready for the World Cup so--
[sighs] That homeless or home plus whatever,
that's no World Cup, you idiot.
It's a charity event.
We gotta strike while the iron's hot.
Don't you know how heartless the public perception can be?
Whether it's something good or bad, the buzz will eventually die down.
They'll forget about you.
-Even if that's true… -Ugh, this idiot.
Fine. Sure, I know deep inside, you're a good guy and all.
Don't spout bull.
Hypocrites who act all nice, but can't walk the walk,
disgusting.
Hong-dae. Let's be jerks, 'cause we are jerks.
EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT
[Mr. Kim] You'll see. I'll be very good to you.
Hey. How did the talk go with your agency?
Don't know.
Don't you have anything you wanna say to me?
Like a thank-you?
What? Should I get you a kitchen gift set?
[sighs] Make it a set of soap. I ran out.
Why not?
[Hyo-bong] Let's go!
[Hong-dae] In-sun, pass me the ball.
Okay, run.
Good timing. Just keep your eyes on the ball.
One more time.
Keep your eyes on the ball.
Now, In-sun, run.
Good job. Much better already.
You'd think at least one would go in by now, right?
It's fine to fail.
-[Moon-su] It's not fine, don't you think? -[Hyo-bong] You can do it!
In-sun, you're doing great.
-Just kick with a bit more confidence. -Okay.
Nice, but you'll get better if you lose some weight.
[Eun-hye] Dad, go, go, go!
Moon-su, I like your spirit. Just don't get depressed.
[Moon-su] Okay.
-[Eun-hye] You're the best! -Your defense is good. Keep it up.
[coach] All right, next.
All right!
-Let's take a break. -[coach] Okay! We'll take a break.
[Hong-dae] Wow, there really isn't much time left.
Listen while you're eating.
I, uh…
I won't be going to the World Cup.
-What? -Huh?
-[Moon-su] What's he saying? -[coach] What? What do you mean, Coach?
There's been a change of plans.
It's not like it'll make a difference even if I went.
-[sighs] Coach, what's the matter? -What will you be doing instead?
-[Hyo-bong] Good question. -Well…
-Catching some lizards. -[Hyo-bong] Lizards?
Ah, man, forget it.
Anyways, let's keep working hard while we can.
Oh, Coach Yoon, did we do something wrong?
Oh, Hwan-dong, you should act as the team's coach
since they all listen you.
Is it because they don't listen to you?
Ah, it is because of him? We can kick him out.
He's ditching 'cause he got famous. Don't blame me.
Surely he must have a plan.
What plan? He's got no plan!
Yes, that's right.
From the get go, I had no plans for this team.
Wait, Coach Yoon, but…
Why are you… why are you being like this all of a sudden?
I think Beom-su's right. His fame got to his head.
Don't talk that way. He's done his best to train us.
-All he made us do was run every day. -You couldn't even do that.
-What did you say? -Don't act like you can't hear me!
[Moon-su cries]
What? What?
Are you quitting because of your mom?
Wow. What an amazing son you are.
But, Ho-rak, you look fucking pathetic right now. Know that?
You look fucking pathetic too, running around filming and flailing about.
Know that?
People like us should avoid getting involved.
Or we'll look more pathetic.
[thunder rumbles]
[somber music plays]
[sighs]
I want you to trip by this rock about there, Ju-ri.
Then, Hong-dae, can you help her up when she does?
-Yes. -Love that.
Oh. We're eating lizards. Oh, anyone here have an allergy?
Nope! I'll eat it.
I just really like lizards.
No, I'll eat it.
I can eat it with rice in green tea, like borigulbi.
I'll eat it. I eat it raw.
I'll up you one. I'll eat it alive.
[man] How absurd, eating it alive.
[Ju-ri] And eating it raw isn't?
[man] And what the heck was that borigulbi idea?
[coughing]
[clears throat]
[laughing]
How come this meal feels like a cruel form of punishment?
I was going for presentation, not flavor.
Hong-dae, thank you.
I promise to pay you back soon.
Pay me back how?
I decided to move to Jeju with a friend.
The island?
Hmm, it's just, uh, I want to go somewhere new and start over again.
-[chuckles] -Of course.
You can't scam people you know.
I'm a different person now.
[commentator] He's keeping watch of all the players
in front of him and the far side of the field.
[mom] Hong-dae's first and last game on the youth national team.
Ah, turn it off. Go home already!
Ah, just let me watch this for a bit. Okay?
[commentator] He's one of those players that are really special.
[mom] That's it. Yes.
All right. Let's go. Yes, there. Right there.
Go, go, go, go!
Oh, yes. This is it! Right there.
Shoot!
-Goal! -[commentator] Goal!
[laughing]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Oh boy. I guess I am getting old.
Sorry for missing your game that day.
You sound like you've been to all the other ones.
Hey, you brat.
How come you take after me in always having the last word, huh?
[sighs] How good-looking.
Hong-dae.
Are you… gonna go to the jungle?
You know, when I did track in school, I always came in second.
I wanted to keep at it, but I had you when I turned 18.
And that's my fault? Please, no one told you to get knocked up.
Hey! That's 'cause your dad…
-I'm sorry. -[sighs]
You're right.
If I think about it, we really have an unusual mother-son relationship, huh?
Other kids turned out fine because they listened to their moms.
But you made it this far
'cause you did exactly the opposite of what I told you to do.
I just knew instinctively, because you were who you were.
Okay. Hey.
Go to the jungle.
Jeez, soccer? Forget about it.
Goodness. All you do is run around to get a ball into a net
and jump around all crazy and stuff.
Hey, just give up.
Just be a star.
[sighs]
Since I cooked, I'll do the dishes.
[sighs]
Life freaking sucks. Shit.
[indistinct chatter over PA]
Whoo! Okay, okay. It will be fine.
If anyone tries to talk to you in English, don't get flustered.
Just reply louder in Korean.
Once they all get flustered, all we do is just jet right past them.
What is he saying? [grunts]
Hwan-dong, you're going as our coach.
-You cannot play. -I know.
Sure feels strange without him.
I didn't know having a head coach made a huge difference.
Not me.
But I miss him.
Me too, but I'm still mad at him.
He selfishly left us! Forget about him too!
How have you been? You look good today?
-Huh? -Hmm?
-Hmm?
Hmm?
He's wearing a suit.
You on the way to the jungle?
ANSWER MY CALLS, YOON HONG-DAE
LET'S LIVE LIKE BAD GUYS
He's the only one wearing a suit.
Even his socks are matching.

[announcer] We're starting the first match of the day.
Defending champions, Germany,
and the biggest ambush of this game, Lithuania.
As expected, the clash of forces.
Neither side wants to be safe.
Shoot. Goal!
Germany's goal!
Uh-oh, one fell to the ground. Neither side is giving up ground.
Oh! Impressive foot skills.
Shoot! Oh! Unfortunately, it hit the goalpost.
Did we miss something?
Isn't this a competition for homeless people?
Retreat. Retreat. Should we just go back home?
Don't be such cowards. It's just a ball. You won't die if it hits you.
-[crowd] Oh! -[whistle blows]
Hit right in the face by a powerful shot from the German striker.
I don't envy the headache he's going to have.
Here's hoping he makes a full recovery.

[announcer in English] The Korean team's first game.
Their first match won't be easy.
Compared to the youthful Costa Rican players,
the Korean team's age seems quite high.
Can they keep up? Let's watch and see.
[Hong-dae] All right, all right, let's do this.
-All right, let's do this! -[Hwan-dong] We got this.
-[coach] All right. One, two, three! -[team] Ha! Ha! Let's go!
-[coach] Let's go! -Let's go!
You can do this!
Well, the game between Costa Rica and Korea has begun.
Shoot! Goal! Costa Rica easily scores the first goal.
I guess the Korean team must be hiding something really amazing.
You should've blocked him!
[announcer] The Korean goalkeeper seems very upset.
-[Moon-su] What were you doing? -Can you shoot from that side?
[Moon-su] Get up, will you?
[announcer] All righty, the ball is back in play.
-Korea passes to a team member. -[Hyo-bong] I'm open!
[announcer] Oh! Steal from Costa Rica. Shoot!
-Score! Goal! -[whistle blows]
Damn! Why the heck would you let them take it?
[announcer] Korea's goalkeeper seems very incensed.
God!
-[coach] Stop them! -[announcer] Ooh!
The team seems to be having a very difficult time.
-[Moon-su] I think Hyo-bong's hurt! -Referee. Referee, change. Change.
-Hyo-bong! Hyo-bong! Come out. -[coach] Hyo-bong, good job! Come out now.
[Moon-su] Hyo-bong, you did well. Good job!
-My back. Good luck. -[Hong-dae] You all right?
Beom-su, to the right!
[cheering]
[Moon-su] Beom-su, you got this.
-[crowd clamoring] -Jeez!
Block them! Block, block, block, block, block!
-[announcer] Goal! -[whistle blows]
[cheering]
-[announcer] Goal! -[whistle blows]
[announcer] Goal!
Right now, it's 6-0, a tight match.
I can see that they're getting anxious too, you know.
They can just go home if they're scared. [chuckles]
Fine.
There is only
one conclusion.
They are
stronger than we expected.
G… go on.
-That's all I got. -That's it?
[sighs]
-Hey! -[Hong-dae gasps]
"They're stronger than we expected"?
If that's all you can say, I could've coached them myself!
Go for it. I never told you not to, did I?
-Why not just phone in from Korea then? -Why didn't you tell us they were good?
You little… You should know these things. You're the coach!
-"You little"? -[So-min] Yes!
"Little"? Did she just call me frickin'… No, no. Are you done talking?
-"You little"? -[So-min] Yeah!
I think that, uh, in my opinion,
homeless people in other countries receive free meat from their government.
[announcer] Oh, no reversal in the second half for the Korean team.
The goalkeeper stops it!
-Ah! -[announcer] Nice shot.
-Goal! -No!
[announcer] Here we go. Costa Rica gets the ball.
Costa Rica shoots!
-Goal! -[whistle blows]
[announcer] Lobbing shot. Goal!
He blocks it. He blocks it!
Goal! Goal!
-He is not happy. -[Moon-su] Goddamn it!
-How do they keep scoring! -[whistle blows]
Well, that is a total victory for Costa Rica with a 12 to 0 shutout.
We've got to give our respects to the Korean team.
It was their first match, and they tried their best.
Twelve to zero? Twelve to zero!
Don't be discouraged.
We lost just like we planned. It's going according to the plan.
Yeah, that's right, as per our plan. Our strategy worked.
What kind of score is that?
Hey, Moon-su, it's okay.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughs]
We're looking for a space to shoot an interview.
Is there a suitable place here?
Jeez, throw that out. Why are you going through the trash?
Okay. Okay.
I think we can get going now, huh?
Uh… [murmurs]
In-sun? We're missing In-sun.
Hmm?
Uh, damn. Why is it that someone always goes missing?
[indistinct chatter]

[crowd screams]
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Calm down! What's going on here?

Illness. Illness. It's a misunderstanding.

He's had a rough life. We’re sorry.

Hey, wait. Stop it. You're the one who's hitting him.
Which asshole is it? Is it that bastard over there?
You shit-face asshole, is that how your parents raised you, huh?
[crowd clamors]
Uh…
[in Japanese] He’s not part of our team.
He’s some idiot passing by.

[sighs] Ten games to go, mostly with European teams.
I can't believe we didn't score a single goal.
Who picked the team based on their stories?
Did I ask for the Cup?
Come on. We should win once at least.
Who wants to film a bunch of losing games?
Sorry. We've never done this before, so--
Listen, Coach! Think of a plan. Strategize.
The thing with strategies,
they're really only useful if you've got a winning chance.
Admiral Yi Sun-sin beat 330 Japanese ships with 12 of his own.
-You know that was fricking random, right? -Yeah.
[groans]
Damn it.
Just win once.
I won't even ask for two.
[groans] Ho-rak.
[sighs]
You're welcome to play.
Yes, the rules state that female players can play too.
Huh?
[sighs]
I, honestly…
I want us to win too.
I mean, even if we don't,
if we keep playing and not give up,
maybe we can even tie a game or two.
Then who knows?
Maybe we can even win a match.
I just don't want our players to be scared of the field.
We all came all the way here.
If we could achieve even that…
[sighs]
[upbeat dance music plays]
[bones crack]
[Beom-su] Ah.
[Hyo-bong] Hey, it's okay. It's not your fault.
A player injured himself while dancing. Whose fault could it be then?
Ah.
So it is your fault.
But we could totally play without him. It'll make no difference.
[Hong-dae] We don't have any reserve players.
We have two games today.
[Hyo-bong] Such an idiot.
Can our players play at the same time?
Yep, it's possible.
Could you send two players to the Korean team?
-[woman] Yeah, I'll send them right away. -Thank you.
Teams without enough reserve players
are allowed to use up to two foreign players.
And ours… are from Brazil.
-They're from Brazil? -Yeah.
[woman] This is Armandinho and Átila.
-Hey. -Hello.
If we keep rotating them between plays, maybe we could even tie a game.
You can be coach.
Hi! She is our… coach.
No, no, no.
[announcer] Goal!
The Brazilian player has already scored two goals for the Korean team.
[grunts]
-[cheering] -Whoa!
That is an amazing shot from the Brazilian player.
In Brazil, the entire country plays soccer.
[Hwan-dong] Good! You guys are all doing great!
-[Moon-su] In-sun! Everyone, move up! -[announcer] Korea's got the ball.
Passed to the Brazilian team member.
They're passing it back and forth.
Amazing teamwork by the Brazilian team members.
Shoots! Goal!
-[whistle blows] -[announcer] Korea scores again.
Shoot! Goal!
-[whistle blows] -[announcer] The score stands at 6 to 1.
[overlapping yelling]
[announcer] They're taking a lot of goals. No goal yet from a Korean player though.
So tell me, how's it catching the losers winning the game?
We can put in only one of them then.
[announcer] It's time for the second half.
The ball is stolen by New Zealand.
Oh, New Zealand starts their counterattack.
They're going for it. Shoot!
-Goal! -[Moon-su] Damn it!
[cheering]
[announcer] And Korea picks up the ball.
Shoot! Goal! The Brazilians strike right back.
There is no doubting the skill of the Brazilians.
The spectators, well, they know something's wrong.
They came here to see South Korea, and they're not getting what they want.
All righty, New Zealand's got the ball.
-Goal! -[whistle blows]
-[announcer] Brazil versus New Zealand! -Change. Change.
[announcer] I mean, South Korea versus…
No, wait! Uh, New Zealand! New Zealand!
[coach] All right, let's go!
[announcer] The Korean player number seven shoots!
-Brazil scores! -[crowd boos]
[announcer] That's the game. The final score for the unified game is 8 to 3.
The New Zealand team is complaining to the referee.
[coach] Okay, bring it in. Well done. Good job.
-That was great. Really great, guys. -Well done. Well done. It's okay.
-[coach] Oh, nice pass. -[Hwan-dong] Are you hurt anywhere?
If we don't score ourselves, does it not count?
No. No.
[Moon-su] I mean, we won, so what's the problem?
[coach] Okay, that's enough.
[Moon-su] Why are they booing at us?
[coach] Yes, you all did a great job.
-[Moon-su] We basically won. -[crowd booing]
Our next game's against Germany. They're likely to win the Cup.
You saw their game yesterday.
They knocked someone out with their ball.
You know, I'm really torn.
I'm not sure we'll be able to complete the tournament on our own.
If we have to win, I'll definitely use the Brazilian players.
[sighs]
But I wanna know, did we come here because we wanted to win?
And if we win? One win… Two wins…
And the scores… Sure, we'll have these records in our history.
But let's say we do. So what?
Are you going to use them to negotiate pay or something?
Are we here to make history… or to make memories?
Well, that's… your decision to make.
Did you write those lines?
I… I want to try.
I want to win for once.
That's right.
In-sun, I'll steal the ball no matter what and pass it to you.
Uh…
Cross.
Yeah, we should do this.
-Oy, and I can play too. -Right.
Let's give it a shot! I'll block all the shots! You saw me!
You're right. We can do this!
What? Germany?
Those homeless bums are nothing to be scared of.
The Germans have tanks? Well, we're the best at tanking at life!
Now, that's ridiculous, idiot.
-Why do you always pick on me? -[chuckles]
All right, then. Let's do this!
[team cheering]
-Let's do this! -Yeah!
[Beom-su] Yeah!
Okay, watch this. In-sun Kim…
Pay attention, In-sun.
Look, you shot the ball, but you missed.
Then, what did you do after?
Look here.
It's okay even if you miss.
But did you see where the ball went?
Run after it and make a shot. That's a rebound.
He who controlleth the rebound controlleth the game.
Controlleth the game…
Look here. We practiced all this.
Don't be intimidated and strike first, okay?
-Okay! -Okay!
Okay.
I'm not asking you to bounce back up if you fall.
But when you do, trip them and make them fall.
Take them with you! That's how you play, okay?
[announcer] The German team is the most popular team.
Let's go and play!
[announcer] I wonder who among the weakest Korean team blocks.
[cheering]
The Korean team took that controversial victory this morning,
some say with the help of the Brazilian players.
But as we begin this game,
all the players are from their own country.
Will that change soon? Well, let’s find out as the game begins.
-[whistle blows] -[announcer] Ref blows the whistle.
Korea's ball.
[grunting]
-[player] Hyo-bong! -[Hyo-bong] Go, go, go!
[announcer] Number 13.
Number seven shoots!
Oh.
[grunts]
The Korean team have taken their first shot in three games.
-[player] Defense! -[announcer] Germany.
[Moon-su] Block! Block! Block!
[announcer] Steal by Korea!
-Number 13 shoots! -[cheering]
-Young-jin, good! -Young-jin, well done. Well done!
[announcer] There's something different about Korea.
Oh! The Korean team is far behind in the physical fight.
-But they don't seem to mind at all. -Block them. Over there!
[crowd] Oh!
The ball hits the Korean goalkeeper's face as it goes in.
-Yeah! -Moon-su, you good?
-Let's get up, all right? -Are you all right?
[announcer] Is he okay?
-[Young-jin] It's okay. -[laughing]
You're all dead meat! You're all going to die!
[announcer] Whoa. Korea's goalkeeper is angry again today.
It's the beginning of the game, but will Korea be able to survive?
Germany steals! Shoot!
-Ah! -[announcer] Oh! That's got to hurt.
Number three's bottom is the core of the Korean team's defense.
What incredible butt muscles!
Although South Korea's being pushed back, they're doing their best.
Trip their legs. Take them down!
-[announcer] Ooh. -[Young-jin] Ah! Ah!
[announcer] Germany gets the ball. Shoot!
-Goal by Germany. -Ah!
[groaning]
[grunts] I'm okay.
Are you okay?
[grunts]
Where's the defense!? Block!
[announcer] South Korea's keeper is taking a beating out there.
He’s using his whole body to stop those powerful shots from the German team.
Well, the keeper is clearly in pain,
but he has kept a clean sheet for last three long minutes.
Korea, shoot!
-[Young-jin] Kick it! -[announcer] Shoot!
[cheering]
[announcer] Finally, I can see the Korean striker.
[Hyo-bong] Good job! Over here!
[announcer] Germany's ball.
-Shoot! Goal! -[whistle blows]
-[announcer] One-sided attack by Germany. -Let's go up there.
[announcer] It's weird. I'm oddly enjoying this game very much.
[coach] Hey, it's okay. You're doing great.
["Dream" plays]
[lyrics in Korean]
-Moon-su, good job! -Let's go!
[announcer] Wow, the Korean team players. Something's completely different today.
Did you catch that? Look at them! [laughs]
Defense, get in there!
[grunts]
Ah!
[announcer] Oh, the Korean team!
We should stop here. They are dead on their feet.
Every player is exhausted, and it's not looking good.
[grunts]
We have to take him off. He's not gonna last the whole game.
[announcer] The Korean team still has two Brazilian players on standby.
They can change at any time.
You're very persistent.
Get out there.
-Referee! Change! Change! -Change.
Hyo-bong, get over here!
-You did well. -Okay, good luck!
[announcer] The Korean team changing players.
Even though number 11 hurt his wrist, he is playing very aggressively.
[Beom-su] Damn it!
[announcer] Oh, number 11 trips. He gets back up. Shoot!
-Oh! And he misses the goal. -Hooray!
-I did it! I tripped him! -Good job. Nicely done!
[announcer] I know I shouldn't, but I like it.
I mean it sounds weird, but I like it.
Number 11, calm down.
Calm down. Calm down.
-What did you say? -Please calm down. Calm down.
[announcer] I feel weird, but good! The Korean team's fearful defense!
Korea passes. Number 13 gets it.
Shoot! Oh! Blocked.
Shoot! Oh! Missed again.
Germany sends it down the field.
Shoot! Oh! The Korean angry keeper hits the goalpost really hard.
-And that's the first half! -[Moon-su groaning]
-[announcer] I'm really worried about him. -[Hong-dae] Where does it hurt?
[announcer] I hope he didn't get injured badly.
I know I was the one who urged you all to play to win,
but we still have many more matches to go.
You really don't have to push this hard. Seriously, okay?
Yes, everyone, great job. You've proved yourselves.
[So-min] You really did.
Coach, let's put the Brazilians back in.
[sighs]
-Then-- -[In-sun] Kyung-jin is watching.
Please don't sub me out.
I have to show my Eun-hye too…
that her dad can do something.
I must make sure someone always sleeps in a warm place.
And that someone loves soccer.
I used to be a thug.
The ass-kicking kind that ruined my family.
From now on, I'm gonna only kick soccer balls,
so bring it on! Come at me!
I'm gay.
Well, yes…
I'm attracted to men.
-Hey, my shoulder blades! -Yes!
[Moon-su laughing]
My father collapsed from the shock and never woke up again.
I was terrified and felt so horrible
that I wasted my life doing nothing at all.
[sniffles]
But you know, I'm not the problem.
-It is the world that makes me a problem. -[Moon-su] Shit.
Or not?
[chuckling]
[sighs]
-[Young-jin] Don't laugh. -You all are crazy.
How's there not a single person falling behind?
[Hyo-bong] That's right!
We are Korea's national team, right?
No more substitutes!
-Let's go! -Let's go!
[cheering]
Hey, Moon-su, you should sit out.
Why? I'm totally fine.
[screams] Why, you little…
Ah!
You did great. You were the best today.
Mmm.
[Hwan-dong] Coach Yoon.
Put me in. Let me play.
No, Hwan-dong. You really shouldn't play.
Ah, really, I'm okay now. See? I'm completely fine. Look!
Come on. I can at least be the goalkeeper.
I can do it.
Do you think goalkeepers just stand around?
It's the hardest position.
We have to keep trying. Let me try. Just once.
[Hong-dae sighs]
[yells]
[exhales]
[chuckles]
Let's huddle, yeah?
-[Moon-su] Yes, sir! -[coach] Gather around, guys.
[Moon-su] Ow! Watch it!
All right, we know it's been tough out there.
And once we're out there, it won't be any easier, if not harder.
It's okay.
We'll show them why we are not giving up and still running.
Let's show them that we can run too.
Let's show them that we have the right to be here.
Let's make them see, yeah?
[team exclaims]
You know, there isn't any prize on the line.
All you do is suffer from injuries. You sure about this?
[team] Yeah!
If you're getting whooped, I won't pull you out. Are you sure?
[team] We're sure!
-All hands in! -[team] Yeah!
All right. One, two, three!
[team] Korea! Korea! Korea! Let's go!

[announcer] Oh, also in the second half, the Korean team take to the field
without any foreign players.
This is an all-Korean lineup.
Well, they must be really tired, but it looks to me
like their fighting spirit has gotten even stronger.
-I think it'll be more fun this time. -[whistle blows]
The second half begins!
[Beom-su] Let's go!
The angry keeper must've been replaced by someone else.
I hope his injury's not serious.
[grunting]
[announcer] Still banging and falling!
But the Korean team gets up without delay!
[Beom-su] Come on. Let's go!
[In-sun grunting]
-[Hong-dae] Kick it! -[announcer] Shoot!
Oh, unfortunately, it missed.
[grunts]
[Moon-su] Nice!
[announcer] Shoot!
Ah!
[cheering]
Hey, it's all right.
[Hyo-bong] It's okay. You got this. Go for it!
In-sun, come back in!
[Beom-su] Good hustle, In-sun.
[coach] You're doing great, In-sun. That was great.
[Moon-su] Go for it!
-[announcer] Passed to Germany. -[coach] Block him!
-[announcer] Germany shoots! -[grunts]
[announcer] Oh! An old boy after an angry keeper!
A great fighting spirit!
-[coach] Hwan-dong! -Yeah?
[Hwan-dong] It's okay. I'm fine.
-[Young-jin] Here! -[announcer] Korea's ball. 13's got it.
-[Young-jin] Ah! -[announcer] Shoot!
-[crowd] Oh! -[announcer] Shoot!
[crowd] Oh!
[announcer] Shoot!
Oh, the ball went over, but so did the crowd's heart.
Everyone seems to be rooting for the Korean team.
Wow. Absolutely incredible.
Incredible! This is a different Korean team
compared to the first two games.
It's great! It's getting a lot more fun.
[cheering]
[inspirational music plays]
Whoo!
In-sun.
Come here.
Don't be scared. Keep you eyes on the ball.
Even if you try to be the biggest coward, a ball is just a ball.
This is from Yumi.
Referee!
Beom-su, come out.
[whistle blows]
[announcer] Eventually, the foul king is replaced.
[Hong-dae] You got this!
[coach] In-sun, you got this!
[Moon-su] You can do it, In-sun! Show them!
[yells]
[announcer] Whoa. What was that? A Korean tiger roaring?
Ooh-ah!
[announcer] Or Tarzan? Wow! The king of the jungle, Tarzan,
a tiger, an angry keeper, an old boy,
the foul king, and the incredible buttocks.
This is the Korean team!
Well, the Korean team is losing five to zero,
but they don't know how to give up.
Germany steals the ball!
Ah! [grunts]
[announcer] Korea gets it back!
Thirteen gets it and passes.
Seven. Shoot!
Pressure them!
[announcer] Whoo!
That is sport!
Incredible commitment from the Korean team!
And the real game starts now!
[inspirational music plays]
[announcer] Korea's team is just so amazing!
He doesn't have to push himself this hard.
[cheering]
You got this!
-Hwan-dong, come on! -Yeah!
You can do it!
-[Moon-su] Do it! -Let's go!
This is unbelievable.
These Korean players are not fainthearted.
They haven't conceded a goal in more than four minutes.
That's… That's crazy.
Oh no! I think Tarzan has a cramp in his leg.
-The ref is checking. -[Hyo-bong] Cramp! Cramp!
[announcer] They call over the coach.
-[coach] Oh no. Are you okay? -Are you all right?
-Oh, no, no, no, don't! -It's just a cramp. You're okay.
Beom-su, come on out!
[announcer] He gets up! He's okay! He's okay!
Take them all down!
-[coach] You got this. -[Young-jin] You can do it!
[announcer] Germany starts a series of attacks!
[Beom-su] Ah!
[announcer] The Korean players and the German players
are being very aggressive.
Germany shoots! Oh!
Shoot! The Korean goalkeeper stops the ball with his whole body.
Shoot!
Oh, and he gets up again and again!
Hwan-dong, are you really all right?
You played enough! You'll die!
Come back in! Young-jin!
-No, no! -[announcer] And he says he's fine!
It's okay. I'm fine.
[announcer] I feel like someone should shout out "Korea,"
because that's what I want to do.
[in Korean] Team Korea!
[announcer in English] Yes, shouting out!
[in Korean] Team Korea!
Team Korea!
[announcer in English] The crowd has begun to chant and cheer for the Korean team!
The result of the game cannot be changed now,
but the reason why the Korean team doesn't give up is simple.
The game isn't over.
The audience knows that and supports them,
but there is not much time left.
The entire crowd is just waiting for the Korean team to score.
Well, so am I!
All right, I’ll shout it too!
[in Korean] Team Korea!
Team Korea!
[rhythmic clapping]
[crowd] Team Korea!
Team Korea!

Beom-su!
[announcer] Now, we're almost at the end of the game.
I think it's going to be the last attack for the Korean team.
Can the Korean team score a goal?
In-sun, run!
In-sun!
["Miracle" continues]
[in slo-mo] Shoot!
[inaudible]
-[announcer] That's a goal! -[whistle blows]
The game ends with South Korea, five to one!
But in the second half, a one-to-one tie! Incredible!
Unbelievable!
What an amazing football game we just watched!
Absolutely amazing!

You have to eat well, okay?
I know because I saw so many foreigners at the World Cup.
You know, those big guys? [growls]
[both chuckle]
They might bully you, so you have to eat well.
[Eun-hye] You should eat well too, Dad.
Don't just eat kimchi. Make sure you get some protein.
Flank cuts don't cost that much.
All right, okay, I will.
You don't need to worry about Daddy. You saw me play soccer.
I saw it.
I'm not worried.
Next time I see you, you'll be all grown up.
Wow, you'll be so pretty!
Look forward to it.
[woman] Eun-hye, we're running late. Get in the car.
Daddy…
Huh? Yeah, go, go, go.
Go. It's okay.
Come on. Come on.

All right. Watch your legs. There.
Daddy?
Huh? Okay. Go.

No, honey! Wait, wait, wait a second.
Eun-hye, your dad, right?
I'll take care of myself.
I'll be good, okay? I love you so much.
