Soccer player Hwang Hee-chan said, “If I have the opportunity, I will participate if you invite me,” while coach Lee Jeong-hyo, whom Yoo Jae-seok chose as his role model, advised, “I really like Yoo Jae-seok, but his voice was too quiet. I need to push harder,” making everyone laugh. I brought it up.
Both teams began recruiting additional players for the 5-on-5 match. Yoo Jae-seok's team added Seo Eun-kwang and Bae Hye-ji, and Kim Jong-guk's team added Kim Dong-hyun. The early game was led by Kim Jong-guk's team. Kim Jong-kook's team scored goals in a row, widening the lead to 3:1, but in the process, Kim Jong-kook was sent off for excessive actions and comments even though he was the coach, causing a lot of laughter.
Yoo Jae-seok's team was dragged throughout the game, but they continued to score goals, and eventually Seo Eun-kwang even scored the equalizer, making the score 4-4.
Actor Kang Hoon broke the balance in the tense game between the two teams again. Kang Hoon attacked Yoo Jae-seok's team's goal, which was briefly empty, without missing a beat, and scored a spectacular goal to win the MVP of the day's game. On the other hand, Ji Seok-jin, who was often absent even though he was a goalkeeper, was scolded by coach Yoo Jae-seok.
