[NEWS] 090912 U-Know Yunho “Good Fortune On The Soccer Field…”

Luck always seems to follow him onto the soccer field.

TVXQ’s leader U-Know Yunho, who has made his acting debut with MBC’s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Heading to the Ground’, is becoming a topic of conversation among staff due to the unusual luck that follows him every time he acts out a scene on the soccer field.

In ‘Heading to the Ground’, U-Know Yunho plays Cha Bong goon, a soccer player who has an amazing gift for shooting.

Although the drama isn’t a professional sports drama that deals only with soccer, as soccer is the main theme in the drama, U-Know Yunho is required to film countless scenes on the soccer field. U-Know Yunho is garnering a lot of attention because luck always seems to be at the staff and his side whenever he enters a soccer field.

It all started with U-Know Yunho’s success with an extremely difficult Bali Kick. Since this kick requires the player to hit the goal post instead of actually scoring a goal, the staff expected the filming of this scene to take a long time. However, U-Know Yunho surprised everyone by performing a perfect Bali Kick after only 3 or 4 times.

Recently, the fans also brought luck with them on location at the Seoul Sangam-dong World Cup Stadium. The staff were debating over whether or not to hire extras for the soccer match scene that Cha Bong goon debuts in which required a vast number of people. In the end, they decided to ask the fans, who had been visiting every filming location without fail, for help.

The total number of fans who came was around 4000. The fans who were acting as spectators were very organized and called out U-Know Yunho’s screen name “Cha Bong goon” exactly as the staff wanted them to and this was caught on film to be used during the drama. Thanks to the outgoing fans, what should have taken at least two days to finish filming, was completed in one day.

Director Park Sungsoo, who is in charge of directing ‘Heading to the Ground’ stated, “Every time we film, hundreds of people flock on location but they have always been ready to follow the directions that staff give them,” and “This seems to be a drama that seems to get a lot of favors from the fans.”
