We met with So Jun-il, a caster who enriches the K-League through metaphors and symbols, in "Polterview." The words of So Jun-il, who is in his 15th year as caster, contain his love for the sports scene and soccer. Fans of all teams in the K-League support his language in unison. Soccer fans and his affection are two-sided.

▲ Faceless Shorts Craftsman's Effort to Attract People With Mentos

These days, caster So Jun-il is a faceless master of shorts. While his opening remarks filled with poetic expressions draw attention and can often be seen through YouTube short-form videos, the screen covered with his voice is often the panoramic view of the stadium or the entrance of players. His voice drew attention, and the main character began to gain popularity. He is sometimes called Dae Jun-il, not So Jun-il, and more and more fans ask for his autograph.

"I started making these opening remarks because my broadcasting lost its presence last year. I broadcast a lot of big matches on TV, but at the same time, it was selected as Coupang Play's 'Couple Pick' at the same time, so people who watched it on their cell phones didn't even know that there was my broadcasting. I didn't want to be just a person who takes money. While thinking about how to make my presence known, I remembered that the opening remarks, including the East Coast derby two years ago, were well received. Since it's the opening that I've been doing, I thought to give it more strength. Fortunately, I got a response."

His path as an announcer and his research have gathered to create his own realm. For a long time, he introduced each game while dubbing the highlights of the magazine program I Love Baseball (KBSN), and according to his calculations, he played 144 games every year for 11 years. He also referred to the literary comments of Jung Woo-young, Han Myung-jae, and Kim Min-soo, which he showed in baseball where breathing is slower. Finally, he tried to refer to the tone and emotions even if he didn't understand the words while watching overseas soccer broadcasts.

"Oberdan and Wandalsson were injured at the same time ahead of the match in Pohang. At that time, I said, 'Resources are finite, creativity is infinite.' When I took a bus to the Pohang Steelyard, I borrowed the slogan posted in front of the POSCO factory. To do that, I need to study how K-League fans use it. I like 'Lion' among the Seoul fans' cheering, and I used the words 'Two Romantic Hours' that I saw most impressively among Suwon Samsung's cheering songs in the Super Match comment. In fact, I wanted to make a Suwon-related comment when I decided to stay last year, but I wrote it then because Super Match was my last chance."

Recently, he emphasized camellia flowers while broadcasting Jeju's home game on April 3. The flower symbolizes the 4.3 incident. It is an important day to honor the team every year. Castor So Jun-il melted things off the field into the opening for the first time, and used camellia flowers attached to the home team's uniform to prevent comments from being made irrelevant to soccer.

"My concern is this. Over time I'm going to get rustic, too, but I'm afraid I'm going to get more seasoned and pungent with my comments. I think my opening is a bit greasy in terms of food. Actually, I don't want to be someone who's remembered just for the opening, because someone could emulate it, and this style isn't my exclusive property."

▲ So Jun-il, "A Dramatic Type I Human," seeks a career path as an announcer through games

Unlike his job as a broadcaster, So Jun-il was said to have been an "extreme I" (introverted) player. When I was young, it was difficult to make delivery calls, and now I have become much trained, but I am not comfortable with such contact. People who knew him in their childhood could not imagine his job as a freelance announcer. What led him to become a sportscaster? When I heard about his childhood, he was equipped with the qualities of a sports fanatic early on. When I was young, I became a fan of baseball player Jang Jong-hoon only with brief sports news that came out on TV, and watched the national soccer competition and professional wrestling. Like other boys of his age, I fell deeply into Euro 2000 and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

"The catalyst was a game. The predecessor of the soccer game FM was CM, and I started the 1999-2000 version. I invited about two friends and did it together. Then it was Winning Eleven. It was fun to tease my friends and do a ceremony in front of my eyes. Winning was about as good as a local woman. I could go to another university festival and break a stamp. At that time, I was thinking about what could happen to live a happy life, but since I can't become a professional gamer, I just wanted to make it fun to talk, so I registered for the announcer academy."

There was a time when I failed the announcer test. At that time, I had an opportunity to broadcast on the soccer field and worked with announcer Jung Yong-gum, who was a college student, and even got 250,000 won (222 U.S. dollars) per person, which I entrusted to the announcer as a deposit, not to mention wages. After taking the opportunity to work at KBS N, I experienced various broadcasts starting with dubbing "I Love Baseball." On the spot, I gained experience ranging from the "BEMANI MASTER KOREA," an e-sports event, to horse racing. 토토사이트 순위

▲ In order to convey the raw emotions that explode in soccer

What is the charm of soccer from a sports caster's point of view? Caster So Jun-il, who supports Atletico Madrid, the "men's team," says his biggest feature is that he can meet raw emotions in a soccer field. These days, caster So Jun-il visits the stadium "intuitively" even on days when there is no broadcast. He also feels the air generated by spectators and sits in the supporters' seats to be mixed in.

The previous record holder was Messi of Major League Soccer Inter Miami. In other words, Ohtani's uniform sales have surpassed that of Messi.

There is definitely a difference in popularity between the Major League Baseball and the MLS, the LA Dodgers and the Inter Miami Marlins. However, considering that Messi holds the previous record, Ohtani's popularity can be realized.

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a 10-year-$700 million contract with Ohtani on the 10th, and pre-sold uniforms with No. 17 with the official announcement on the 12th.

The uniform was so popular that it set a new 48-hour record at the start of sales. This gives a clue to the popularity of the biggest superstars in the Major League.

Earlier, Ohtani ranked No. 1 overall in 2023 Major League uniform sales, which was announced at the end of September. Ohtani ranked No. 1 in this category for the first time since his Major League debut.

Given the new sales record within 48 hours, Ohtani is expected to rank No. 1 overall in major league uniform sales in the 2024 season.토토사이트 순위

In the eighth minute of the first half, Álvarez, a kicker in Manchester City's free-kick, scored a right-footed cross into the box. The cross passed past the head of Holan, who jumped, and hit Son Heung-min's thigh behind him and went straight into the Tottenham net. As the game ended 3-3, Son Heung-min's performance on the day was also meaningful in that it blocked Tottenham's record of consecutive losses.

Tottenham has not won four consecutive league titles since David Fleet was in charge in November 2004. This time, after losing to Chelsea, Wolverhampton and Aston Villa, Manchester City were on the verge of kneeling, but Dejan Kulusevski's dramatic equalizer revived.

It was a fierce slugfest. It was a hectic game with 26 shots and a total of six goals. Tottenham struggled with Manchester City's strong forward pressure throughout the first half, but gained momentum in the second half to win a point. Manchester City was lucky enough to hit the net twice.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min played like a "Man City killer." Son scored seven goals and three assists in the 17 matches he met against Manchester City before the day. He added one more goal to his team, scoring eight goals against Manchester City.

Immediately after the match against Manchester City, local media in the U.K. gave Son a high score of eight points, acknowledging his stellar performance. He was the second in his team after Kulusevski with nine points. "He loves goals at the Etihad. He hit Kulusevski's pass to his head before putting the ball under Ederson.

The media then said, "It was unfortunate that Man City's free-kick deflected off his thigh and led to an own goal. Son then added help by passing it through Roselso in the second half. He deserved a score of nine, but he scored eight points because of his unfortunate own goal."토토사이트 모음

The Evening Standard shared the same view. Media outlets reported, "He showed great aspiration and skill in the opening goal scene. He also maintained a good record in the match against Manchester City. He also scored an equalizer in the second half." He gave eight points to Korean people's Monday morning score with his attack point hat trick in the match against Newcastle, just two games later.
