[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Players appearing on SBS's new variety show 'Real Basketball, Handsome Tigers' (Handsome Tigers) demonstrated their potential in their first practice game.

In the episode aired on the afternoon of the 10th, the Handsome Tigers, led by coach Seo Janghoon, played their first game against the Whimoon Middle School basketball team.

In the broadcast, Seo Janghoon led several players including Lee Sangyoon, Cha Eunwoo, Julien Kang, Kim Seunghyun, Shori, Seo Jiseok, Kang Kyungjun, Lee Taeseon, Yoo Seonho, and Moon Suin into the game.

A psychological battle unfolded from the beginning. The Handsome Tigers attempted zone defense, but Whimoon Middle School consecutively succeeded in three-point shots. When Whimoon Middle School launched a fast break, Handsome Tigers showed signs of inadequate defense.

As the score gap with Whimoon Middle School widened rapidly, Seo Janghoon said, "I will see what the problem is."

The game ended with the Handsome Tigers losing 88 to 66. Among them, Moon Suin scored over 30 points, emerging as the team ace.

After the game, Seo Janghoon said, "They did better than expected, so there is hope," but added, "I think their concentration is still lacking. Tomorrow's training will be at this location at 4 p.m., but the door will be open at any time."

Meanwhile, SBS's 'Handsome Tigers' is a real basketball variety show that presents sincere stories unfolding on the basketball court.
