MBN ‘National University is National University’ shows two superstars in the Korean badminton world, Ha Tae-kwon and Lee Yong-dae.
On the 25th, in the 14th episode of ‘National University is National Team’, the historic Olympic title match between Ha Tae-kwon, a men’s doubles gold medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and Lee Yong-dae, a mixed doubles gold medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, will be broadcast.
Taekwon Ha and Yongdae Lee, both former doubles players, embarked on 50 days of hell training for this singles match, burning their will to win. On the day of the match, Ha Tae-kwon and Yong-dae Ha, who arrived at the stadium with a desperate mind, put forth their best effort in the fireworks training until the end, saying, “Even if you fall on the court, you will win” and “I will show you that you are still alive.” Then, Taekwon Ha emits a roar like a ‘crazy boy’, while Yongdae Lee gives off his trademark ‘wink’ and enters the court with confident steps.
However, just before the match, Lee Yong-dae explodes with sadness, saying, “Honestly, I am offended” after finding coach Kim “Gunsa” Joong-soo, who had selected him as the national team member at the scene. Moreover, when another unexpected situation occurs that shakes Lee Yong-dae’s mentality, Ha Tae-kwon takes the lead in the fight to reveal his leisure to his wife, “Honey, I think I will win.” As the best striker and defender who will remain in the history of badminton in Korea, curiosity is raised about the final match between the two of them in the final battle of ‘spear and shield’.
The production team said, “Two people who know each other very well through their 20-year relationship continued a whopping 34 rallies from the beginning of the game, causing Jeon Hyun-moo’s ‘breathing’, and exploding various fights, and the game was full of excitement. “It’s good to look forward to an emotional match between the two that will never be seen again,” he said.
Episode 16 of ‘National University is National University’ will be broadcast on the 25th (today) at 9:20 pm.
