On her YouTube channel 'Bread Sister,' Kim Yeon-koung posted a video titled 'Thank you for all your hard work♡ Now we can talk! Sharing untold stories over a wrap-up dinner after the final shoot.'
The video captured the wrap-up dinner with Kim Yeon-koung and the 'Pilseung Wonder Dogs' team after the conclusion of the 9-episode series 'Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung.' The show, which was a club creation project by Kim, ended with the Pilseung Wonder Dogs achieving an impressive record of 5 wins and 2 losses (71.4% win rate).
As anticipation for a second season grew, Kim Yeon-koung made a surprising confession, saying, "I won't be taking on the role of coach again." She added, "My voice is hoarse," and admitted, "It's really tough." She humorously suggested, "Being a coach seems harder than being a player. They should either double my appearance fee or something."
Kim Yeon-koung expressed the difficulties of being a coach, stating, "The role was very challenging, and after losing a game, I would reflect on what I lacked and how I should have handled the situation, often reviewing the game alone with a beer." She also shared, "I didn't realize it was a broadcast while doing it, and I ended up scolding the kids, saying things like 'What are you doing?' and 'Are you out of your mind?'" Kim emphasized the significant role of the coaches, acknowledging, "I also grew through this experience," and left a lingering thought, "Being a coach is not an easy position, and we'll see about a second season."
