The Broadcast Dream Team
Coupang Play, which digitally broadcasts the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup Qatar 2023, has unveiled the entire lineup of broadcasting staff. The “Broadcast Dream Team,” consisting of commentators Han Joon-hee, Lee Keun-ho and Hwang Deok-yeon, and six castors Jung Yong-gum, Yoon Jang-hyun and So Jun-il, will add depth and fun to the journey of Clinsman, who is seeking to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years.
All the games of the Korean national soccer team, which are expected to be the strongest ever, including Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Kim Min-jae, will be played by Han Joon-hee, a commentator on Coupang Play, and Lee Keun-ho, a commentator on “Son of the Sun.” Lee Keun-ho, a member of the committee who finished his career in 2023, joined the Coupang Play broadcasting team from the Iraq warm-up match on the 6th. After the first broadcast, positive reactions continued, such as “It was good to tell the details of the field that only the players know,” and “I hope they can comment on K-League or overseas soccer.”
Hwang Deok-yeon, a commentator who has recently shown his outstanding skills, will support the other promising countries such as Japan, Iran, and Australia. Hwang Deok-yeon is a former kit manager for the U23 national soccer team and has a solid fandom with his wide experience in soccer and talks like the MZ generation.
The caster will be Jung Yong-gum, Yoon Jang-hyun, and So Jun-il trio. With field experience at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Chung Yong-gum is a 13-year veteran of sports broadcasting. Castor Yoon Jang-hyun has experienced both La Liga and Champions League broadcasts and is receiving good reviews for his witty remarks that elicit famous words from commentators. Castor So Jun-il, who made his voice known through the broadcasts of the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is also loved by fans as a “football fan.”
Klinsmann will be assigned to Group E along with Bahrain, Jordan, and Malaysia, and will play a group qualifying match with a total of two Middle Eastern teams. Based on the experience of Lee Keun-ho, who played in the Qatar League, and Han Joon-hee, Coupang Play will present a more in-depth broadcast. In the “Preview Show,” which starts an hour before the game, the two commentators analyze the lineup and viewing points of both teams, providing a more vivid and professional viewing experience. 안전놀이터
