[Asia Economy, reporter Kim Jungho] Lee Bongju, a founding member of 'Mungcheoya Chanda' and former marathon runner, visited the team for the first time in a while.

On the afternoon of June 14, the Jtbc variety show 'Mungcheoya Chanda' (also known as 'Mungchan') aired an episode in which the Eojjeoda FC team, celebrating its first anniversary, held a revenge match against the team they first competed with.

On this day, Coach Ahn Junghwan, five original members, and five additional members all arrived and reminisced about what had happened over the past year.

Coach Ahn also expressed his gratitude to Park Taehwan and Mo Taebeom, saying, "It would have been difficult without you."

While the members were chatting, a welcome guest appeared. The guest was Lee Bongju, who had previously left the team due to injury.

Lee Bongju congratulated the team on their first anniversary, telling the delighted members, "How could I miss the first anniversary?"

When the members expressed concern about his back injury, Lee Bongju shared an update, saying, "I'm gradually getting better."

He went on to say, "The treatment will be long-term, so it will be difficult for me to rejoin the team for a while."

Upon hearing this, Ahn Junghwan expressed his regret, saying, "If Lee Bongju had been with us, we could have won a few more matches."

Meanwhile, 'Mungcheoya Chanda' airs every Sunday at 9:00 p.m.
